Islamic scholar Dr. Ahmad Abubakar Mahmud Gumi has called on the Federal Government of Nigeria to immediately halt all military cooperation with the United States. This appeal follows reports of airstrikes targeting ISIS terrorist elements in Nigeria.
Dr. Gumi emphasized the need for Nigeria to reconsider its partnerships in combating terrorism, citing concerns over the sovereignty and safety of the nation. The scholar warned that continued military collaboration with foreign forces could have negative consequences for the country's security and political independence.
The call comes amid rising tensions in regions affected by ISIS activities, where local communities have reported increased airstrikes attributed to international military operations. Analysts note that the request by Dr. Gumi could influence Nigeria's strategic defense policies in the coming months.
Authorities have yet to respond officially to the appeal, and it remains unclear whether the Federal Government will revise its military agreements with the United States following these events.
