Popular Islamic scholar, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi, on Thursday prayed for God’s wrath on those responsible for insecurity and bloodbath in Nigeria.
Posting on Facebook, Gumi prayed God should punish the perpetrators and spare the innocent.
He wrote: “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. Amin.”
Gumi’s prayer is coming amid escalation of abductions across Nigeria.
Last month, bandits invaded Christ Apostolic Church, CAC, Oke Isegun in Eruku area of Kwara State and kidnapped some worshippers.
About 38 of the abductees have since been released from the grip of the bandits.
In a similar vein, 10 people were kidnapped in Biresawa and Tsundu communities in the Tsanyawa Local Government Area of Kano State last week.
Also, the kidnap victims have since been released by troops of the Operation MESA under the 3 Brigade Nigerian Army.
