Gumi Reacts as Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Donald Trump Confirm Major Anti-Terror Victory
…..Fresh Controversy as Gumi Questions Joint Nigeria-US Counterterrorism Efforts….
Islamic cleric Ahmad Gumi has sparked intense reactions with a controversial statement coming shortly after President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and US President Donald Trump confirmed the killing of a top Islamic State commander in a joint Nigeria-US military operation.
Reacting amid the growing global attention surrounding the operation, Gumi said it is a religious obligation to eliminate terrorists, but warned against doing so “with Beelzebub and hands stained with the blood of innocent men, women, and children.”
The statement has triggered widespread debate online, with many linking his comments directly to the joint military operation announced by Nigeria and the United States.
Tinubu had described the killing of ISIS commander Abu-Bilal Al-Manuki as a major victory against terrorism, while Trump called the slain militant one of the world’s most dangerous terrorists.
Gumi’s reaction is now fueling fresh controversy over Nigeria’s counter-terrorism operations and international military partnerships.
