Nigerian Cleric Sheikh Gumi Reveals Why U.S Marked Him For Elimination

Kaduna-based Islamic cleric, Ahmad Gumi claims that the United States want to eliminate him in Boko Haram strikes.

He made this statement while speaking to his followers in a video that has been widely shared online and posted by X user #General_Somto on Sunday.

Sheikh Gumi said he was told his name had been added to a list of people targeted for killing as if he were a Boko Haram member.

The cleric explained that he got a phone call early in the morning from someone in Abuja who said there had been a national security meeting.

According to him, the caller claimed his name appeared among people allegedly marked for assassination.

“I received a call from a top official in Abuja informing me that I am among those marked by the us for elimination through an American airstrike, as part of Boko Haram.

” Northern leaders and clerics must speak up against these lies,” Sheikh Gumi said.

His comments comes days after the United States carried out air strikes on Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) members in Sokoto State on December 25, 2025.
