Sheikh Gumi Must be Arrested for His Support of Islamist Terrorism – Nick Donnelly

A renowned Catholic author, Deacon Nick Donnelly, has demanded the immediate arrest of controversial Nigerian Islamic cleric Sheikh Ahmad Gumi.

This call follows Gumi’s remarks made after the United States’ Christmas Day airstrikes against insurgents in parts of Sokoto State. In a statement on Friday, Gumi urged the Federal Government to halt any collaboration with the US in targeting those he claims are perpetrators of genocide against Christians.

Reacting to Gumi’s comments, Donnelly took to X to voice his outrage, stating that the Islamic scholar must be arrested and prosecuted. He wrote, “Sheikh Gumi protests President Trump’s Christmas military strikes against the bestial Islamist terrorists.

“Calling the terrorists conducting the genocide against Christians ‘our warriors’.

“Gumi must be arrested and put on trial for crimes against humanity.

“Tinubu must publicly condemn Gumi or else he is declaring his complicity in his crimes.”

Donnelly’s statements reflect the growing concerns regarding Gumi’s influence and the potential ramifications of his remarks in the context of ongoing violence against Christians in Nigeria.
