Sheikh Ahmad Abubakar Mahmud Gumi, a prominent Islamic cleric in Nigeria, boldly declared that the killing by the Nigerian Army in Tudun Biri Village, Igabi Local Government, where over 100 Muslims were killed during a Maulud celebration, was not a mistake but intentional.
The cleric made this statement during one of his preaching sessions in Kaduna over the weekend. Sheikh Gumi, a medical doctor and a retired Major of the Nigerian Army since 1987, emphasized that a place cannot be bombed twice and dismissed it as a mistake.
Known for his calls for a truce between the government and bandits during the Buhari administration, Dr. Gumi urged the federal government to identify and apprehend the perpetrators of this heinous crime.
In a video, Dr. Gumi expressed his disappointment, stating that it is unfortunate that many people have been killed in the bush for several years, all dismissed as mistakes.
