Controversial Islamic cleric, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi, has challenged the United States, US, government to build schools and provide other amenities for herders instead of firing a “$2 million bomb”.
Gumi noted that herders need deliverance from ignorance.
He was reacting to a video of a Fulani man who came found a barrel of one of the missiles shot by the US military in an open field.
Reacting, Gumi said the Fulani man does not understand the danger of unexploded bombs.
Posting on Facebook, he wrote: “Most Herdsmen need deliverance from ignorance and themselves not bombardment.
“He doesn’t even understand the basic creed of Islam and the serious danger of unexploded bombs.
“That’s why I built a school for them. Instead of dropping a $2m bomb that can build schools and amenities for them.”
