Nigerians have reacted strongly after Islamic cleric Sheik Ahmad Gumi shared a prayer calling for divine punishment on anyone responsible for the insecurity and ongoing bloodshed in the country.
In a message posted on his social media handle, Sheik Gumi prayed that God exposes and punishes all individuals, whether Nigerians or foreigners, who contribute to the violence, benefit from it, or remain indifferent while citizens are being killed.
His prayer read:
“Ya Allah!
Whoever initiated or is behind this insecurity and bloodbath in Nigeria—whether foreign or citizen—or has any benefit, material or otherwise, or is even happy that people are being killed, or willingly did nothing to stop it, may by Your divine power be exposed and Your anger poured upon them and punished immediately without harm to the innocent.
Amin.
Say Amin!”
