Ahmad Gumi, a Kaduna-based Islamic cleric, says he was informed that he had been listed for elimination as a Boko Haram figure on the same morning a bombing linked to United States military operations occurred in Nigeria.
Gumi made the disclosure while recounting events surrounding recent US air strikes targeting terror groups in the north-west and north-east.
“There was a bombing here; the morning it happened, I received a call—I won’t tell you who called me—but I was told a security briefing was taking place and I was listed among those who will be eliminated as Boko Haram,” Gumi said.
On December 25, the United States launched a fusillade of air strikes on members of the ISIS Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) in Sokoto.
