Islamic cleric, Ahmad Gumi, has reacted to the killing of Abu-Bilal al-Minuki, identified as the second-in-command of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria worldwide, by American forces in collaboration with the Nigerian military.
Gumi, in a Facebook post on Saturday, described the fight against terrorism as a religious obligation but criticised the involvement of those he accused of shedding innocent blood.
“It’s a religious obligation to annihilate terrorists, but not with Beelzebub and hands stained with the blood of innocent men, women, and children,” the cleric wrote.
