Controversial Islamic cleric, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi, has urged the United States government to construct schools and provide essential amenities for herders instead of deploying a “$2 million bomb.”
Gumi emphasized that herders require liberation from ignorance.
His remarks came in response to a video showing a Fulani man who discovered a barrel containing one of the missiles fired by the US military in an open field.
In his reaction, Gumi stated that the Fulani man does not comprehend the risks associated with unexploded bombs.
In a Facebook post, he expressed: “Most herdsmen need liberation from ignorance and themselves, not bombardment.”
“He doesn’t even grasp the fundamental principles of Islam and the significant dangers posed by unexploded bombs.”
“That’s why I established a school for them. Rather than dropping a $2 million bomb, that amount could be used to build schools and provide amenities for them.”
