According to a report by Daily Post on wednesday April 1, 2026, Islamic cleric Ahmad Abubakar Gumi has suggested that the persistent wave of killings across Nigeria may be influenced by covert foreign intelligence activities.
In a Facebook post reacting to a recent attack in the Gari Ya Waye community of Angwan Rukuba in Jos North, Plateau State where over 20 people were reportedly killed and many others injured Gumi condemned the ongoing violence and urged that it should not be framed as a religious conflict.
He argued that the pattern and coordination of these attacks point to the possibility of external forces working behind the scenes, potentially using local collaborators to carry out their plans. According to him, some Nigerians may be unknowingly or willingly acting as agents in these operations.
To support his claims, Gumi referenced recent incidents, including coordinated bomb explosions in Maiduguri on March 16, 2026, which left at least 23 people dead and more than 100 injured.
