Islamic cleric, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi has expressed hope that terror sponsors and sympathisers in Nigeria would be exposed.

In a prayer shared on Facebook on Thursday, the cleric urged Allah to pour his anger on those who profit from terror, support terrorists or are excited by their actions.

Gumi said, “My prayer today: Ya Allah! Whoever initiated or is behind this insecurity and bloodbath in Nigeria, whether foreign or citizen, or has any benefit, material or otherwise, or is even happy that people are being killed, or willingly did nothing to stop it, may by Your divine power be exposed and Your anger poured upon them and punished immediately without harm to the innocent.”

The controversial cleric is often criticised on social media over his alleged chumminess with bandits.

However, he denies this, expressing readiness to help authorities end banditry using dialogue when necessary.

In November, Gumi said insurgency persists because a large number of uneducated and unemployed youths are easily recruited and exploited by enemies of the state.
