Controversial northern Islamic cleric, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi, has claimed that he was secretly informed by security sources in Abuja that his name had been listed among individuals marked for elimination with Boko Haram terror group.
Speaking while addressing his congregation, Gumi said he received an early-morning phone call from a source he declined to identify, informing him that his name had been mentioned during national security discussions.
“They called me from Abuja, that there was a security meeting,” Gumi said. “They said I have been marked; that I will be eliminated. And who are Boko Haram?”
According to the cleric, the caller told him his name was among those allegedly listed for assassination.
“Even American, they said they came to fight terrorists, so who are the terrorists? They are the ones.”
He blamed the United States for the emergence of Boko Haram insurgents.
“They are the ones doing it – Boko Haram. You will hear something. Here won’t they put bomb? he said.
Gumi alleged that Nigeria’s deepening insecurity and social divisions were worsened by lies, destruction and policies he attributed to United States President, Donald Trump, claiming that Nigerian leaders and clerics retreated into silence as the country slid into crisis.
The cleric said Nigeria became more fractured due to what he described as foreign-backed money and narratives that oppressed citizens and falsely portrayed Christians as the sole victims of insecurity.
According to the cleric, such framing deliberately sowed division among Nigerians and pushed communities into mutual suspicion, while those expected to provide leadership failed to act.
“Because of lies, you brought violence, but where are the leaders, what did they do?” Gumi asked. “What about the scholars? Where are they? Everyone has gone to hide in their corners.”
Gumi argued that no sovereign country would accept external interference designed to divide its people along religious or social lines.
“Which country would agree to bring something in just to divide its people? There is no country that would accept that,” he said. “It would say either you bring all of us together, or you hold us and hand us over to them.”
He accused political and religious elites of abandoning meaningful dialogue, saying Nigerians were left with “noise” rather than solutions, while hardship, oppression and denial of rights intensified across the country.
“You brought us hardship, you broke us. You oppressed us, you denied us our rights,” the cleric said, lamenting what he described as the labeling of parts of Nigeria along religious lines.
Gumi warned that the current situation, marked by fear, silence and division, was dragging the country downward, stressing that continued avoidance by leaders and clerics would only deepen Nigeria’s crises.
“This is the kind of situation we are in,” he said. “It is dragging the country down.”

Nigerian, Plateau State Islamic Cleric Breaks Silence, Vows To Fight Against U.S Military [Video]
An Islamic cleric in Plateau State, Sheikh Muhammad Sani Yahaya Jingir, popularly known to as the “fearless leader,” has declared that he is ready to confront the United States military.....TAP TO CONTINUE READING
The statement appeared in a short 28-second video that began circulating online early Thursday.
The video, shared by the X handle @General_Somto, shows the cleric speaking, with image of U.S. President Donald Trump seen in the footage.
In the video, Sheikh Jingir said that America cannot defeat them and that they are fully prepared if the U.S. chooses to fight.
“America cannot defeat us, and if they insist on fighting us, we’re more than ready to confront them,” he was quoted as saying.
The video emerged at a time of rising tension between Nigeria and the United States, following U.S. airstrikes carried out on December 25, 2025, against ISIS-linked fighters in Sokoto State.
Nigerian authorities confirmed that the strikes killed several ISWAP militants, though there were concerns about possible civilian casualties.
Since the video went viral, reactions online have been largely critical against Sheikh Jingir.
Some users mocked the cleric’s remarks, questioning how such threats could be made when Nigeria is still battling Boko Haram and armed bandits.
Others accused him of overlooking local security challenges while appearing to defend criminal groups.
