Gumi Alleges Groups Burying Empty Coffins to Stage Fake Christian Killings in Nigeria

Controversial Islamic cleric, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi, has alleged that some groups in Nigeria’s Middle Belt are staging fake mass burials by burying empty coffins to promote what he described as a false narrative of Christian genocide in the country.

Gumi made the claim in a post on his verified Facebook page while reacting to criticism over his stay in Turkey amid renewed international focus on alleged persecution of Christians in Nigeria.

His comments came in response to former United States President Donald Trump’s recent statement suggesting that Christians are being killed in large numbers in Nigeria.

Quoting a message he claimed was from a medical doctor, Gumi wrote:

“Do you know that some Middle Belt Christian groups are now staging fake mass killings?
They are burying empty coffins and recording the process as if real victims were killed, just to push the narrative of a Christian genocide. This is desperation at its peak. A disgrace.”

He accused those behind the alleged act of manipulating information to incite hatred and attract international sympathy.

Dismissing reports that he fled Nigeria to avoid possible United States military intervention, the Kaduna-based preacher stated that his trip to Turkey was planned long before Trump’s comments.

“I got my Turkish visa on 16 October 2025, and Trump’s irresponsible tweet lying about Christian genocide in Nigeria was on 1 November 2025,” he wrote. “Trump has no power over us. It is just your sick mind bowing down to him in worship.”

Gumi further described the genocide allegations as part of a deliberate attempt to discredit Islam and attack the enforcement of Sharia law in northern Nigeria.

He urged President Bola Tinubu to take diplomatic action against Trump’s comments, calling them a direct affront to Nigeria’s sovereignty.

“President Tinubu should summon the United States ambassador. They either retract their threats or we sever diplomatic ties with this irresponsible regime,” he declared.

The cleric also called on the Nigerian government to strengthen relations with other countries, arguing that the world is no longer unipolar and that Nigeria has friends elsewhere who respect its sovereignty.

As of press time, neither the United States Embassy in Abuja nor the Nigerian government had issued an official response to Gumi’s statements.
