Sheikh Ahmad Gumi, a well-known Islamic scholar, has refuted a widely circulated rumor that he claimed the United States attacked him on Nigerian territory.
Gumi characterized the news as wholly untrue in a post on his verified Facebook page, claiming that he never made such a claim and never thought it was conceivable.
He clarified that a speech he gave at a mosque, in which he discussed a previous security danger connected to Boko Haram, was probably the source of confusion.
Gumi only described how he was told that Boko Haram intended to murder him in August of 2012.
He said that the attempt was thwarted when a device the attackers were carrying detonated close to his home, killing them.
He is today safe and living in harmony with his family, the clergyman said, free from intimidation or fear.
Additionally, he urged the media outlets that published the article to retract the story and offer an apology to the public.
