Islamic scholar, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi, has accused the United States, US, of cover up using Nigerian story of Christian genocide.
He was reacting to a post by former Kaduna Central Senator,
Shehu Sani, lamenting New York Times report that the report of Christian
genocide in Nigeria was sourced from one Emeka, an Onitsha-based screwdriver
trader.
The report had described Emeka as an operator of a small NGO
who falsely claimed to have documented “125 thousand Christian deaths” using
“google searches.”
In a post on X, Sani wrote: “It’s unfortunate and tragic to
read the New York Times report that the claim of ‘Christian Genocide’ was
sourced from one Emeka, an Onitcha based Screwdriver Trader and ‘operator of a
small NGO’ who falsely claimed to have documented “125 thousand Christian
deaths” using “google searches.”
“How such an unverified claim could tensed up the US
lawmakers, President and the intelligence community,that led to an airstrikes
is one of the most foolish and comical historical events in our lifetime.This
is shameful.” (Sic)
Reacting, Gumi disclosed that the US intelligence is not
stupid, stressing that they know everything.
Gumi wrote on Facebook: “US intelligence is not stupid. They
know everything, but wanted a Nigerian cover for their interest.”
The report of Christian genocide in Nigeria led to President
Donald Trump ordering military airstrikes in Sokoto State.
