SHEKAU RELEASES AUDIO THREATENING SHEIKH AHMED GUMI WHO CLAIMED FULANI HERDERS COLLABORATE WITH BOKO HARAM TO KIDNAP FOR RANSOM

Boko Haram factional leader Abubakar Shekau on Tuesday released new audio threatening a Kaduna-based Islamic scholar named Sheikh Ahmed-Gumi who claimed Fulani herders are being used by the Islamic insurgents to kill and kidnap for ransom. 

In an interview with the BBC Hausa, Sheikh Gumi said he plans to go into the forests to preach to the Fulani herders collaborating with Boko Haram to perpetuate terror, stating that the insurgents need religious teachings to stop their criminality. 


However, in a 16-minute audio released on Tuesday, a voice claiming to be Shekau denied using Fulani herders or anyone for their nefarious acts and sternly warned the cleric to desist from such accusations. 

Shekau also denied the Sheikh’s claim that Boko Haram pays the sum of N30,000 to the Fulani herders from ransom received from the kidnap victims while berating the government for paying employees as low as N10000 monthly salary.


The Boko Haram factional leader, however, said the sect is ready to “identify with anyone willing to identify them. 

“We don’t engage or employ anybody to kidnap for ransom. We, of course, know that there are some other people who are using our name to perpetrate criminality, but whosoever uses our name to cause mayhem should know that we are not with him.

“Whosoever wants to identify with us whether he is in Kaduna, Lagos, Benin or America, we are willing to also identify with him. Our call is to Allah, not democracy which is anti-Islamic,” Shekau said.


Recall that in December 2020, Boko Haram’s Shekau desperately attempted to buy off over 300 kankara schoolboys kidnapped by Bandits in Katsina. 

The Jihadist leader released a propaganda video showing the schoolboys in captivity and lied that he was the mastermind of the Kankara boys kidnap. 

The safe rescue of the boys from the bandits revealed that the videos of the boys were sent to Shekau by the Bandits while negotiations were ongoing- proof that Criminals negotiate and auction off high profile victims to Boko Haram insurgents.
