Prominent Islamic scholar, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi, has raised concerns over Nigeria’s security collaboration with the United States, saying that recent airstrikes targeting terrorist camps in the Northwest could turn the country into a theatre of war.

Reacting to reports of US-backed precision airstrikes, Gumi acknowledged that eliminating terrorists is an Islamic obligation but argued that such operations must be carried out by “clean and holy hands”, not by foreign forces whose military record, he said, includes civilian casualties.

“This is the mistake Nigeria has made. Terrorists don’t fight terrorists in truth; they may only kill innocent people and have ulterior motives behind the drama of fighting ‘terror’.

“As a principle, no nation should allow its land to be a theatre of war. And no nation should allow its neighbours to be their enemies. If Nigeria wants military assistance, China, Turkey, and Pakistan can do the job effectively,” the cleric said.
