Renowned Islamic scholar, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi, has accused foreign powers of backing terrorists in Nigeria.
Sheikh Gumi made this allegation during an interview with
the BBC Hausa Service, claiming that recent patterns of attacks across the
country suggest external support for armed groups operating in Nigeria.
The Islamic cleric stated that the situation on the ground
contradicts earlier signs of improvement in national security.
He pointed to the Abuja–Kaduna highway, once regarded as a
deadly corridor for commuters, noting that the route had become far safer in
recent months before the renewed surge in violence.
According to him, farmers in Birnin Gwari, Kaduna State, who
had long abandoned their farmlands due to persistent threats, had gradually
resumed farming activities, an indication that the security environment had
shown signs of stability before the latest spike in attacks.
Gumi insisted that the sudden reversal in progress raises
questions that cannot be ignored, urging the Nigerian government to intensify
intelligence operations, strengthen diplomatic engagements, and scrutinise all
external links that may be fuelling insecurity.
