Sheikh Gumi Criticizes Wike For Working With Israel

Sheikh Ahmad Gumi

Sheikh Ahmad Gumi, a contentious Islamic scholar, has called Nyesom Wike, the minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, a satan.

Gumi made the statement in response to Wike's invitation of the Israeli ambassador to Nigeria to his office and his plans to work with Israel on Abuja's security challenges. Wike was criticized for his actions.

The minister intends to turn Abuja into a satellite city of Tel Aviv, according to a sermon posted on his Facebook page.

He predicted that Osama Bin Ladin-style beards on Muslims in Abuja will lead to their deaths.

He claimed that giving Christians and people from the South control of Nigeria's national security was risky.

Gumi claims that: "The Minister of the FCT is a Satanic person; I said it before when he was appointed and some people were grumbling.

"He has gone and brought the Israeli Ambassador, that's what someone sent, and I am yet to watch it. But what is confirmed is he said they will collaborate with the Israelis on Abuja's security issues.

"Abuja will now become an extension of Tel Aviv and when they see anyone with a beard like us, they will say it is Bin Laden and we will be killed."
