A renowned Catholic Author, Deacon Nick Donnelly, has called for the immediate arrest of a controversial Nigerian Islamic cleric, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi.
The call followed Gumi’s remarks after the United States’ Christmas Day airstrikes against insurgents in parts of Sokoto State.
9news Nigeria reports that Gumi in a statement on Friday urged the Federal Government to immediately halt any collaboration with the US to take out the perpetrators of alleged genocide against Christians.
Reacting to Gumi’s comments, Nick Donnelly in a post on X, said the Islamic scholar must be arrested and prosecuted.
He wrote, “Sheikh Gumi protests President Trump’s Christmas military strikes against the bestial Islamist terrorists.
“Calling the terrorists conducting the genocide against Christians ‘our warriors’.
“Gumi must be arrested and put on trial for crimes against humanity.
“Tinubu must publicly condemn Gumi or else he is declaring his complicity in his crimes.”
