Editor's note: President Donald Trump of the United States of America, during a joint press briefing with his Nigerian counterpart, President Muhammadu Buhari, at the Rose Garden of the White House, had condemned the killings of Christians in some parts of Nigeria. But in this opinion by Dr Abubakar Mahmud Gumi, the respected Islamic scholar and Alkali (judge) of Gummi says herdsmen killings are not only limited to Christians but also to Muslims who are of Fulani extraction.

Who then cry for Nigerian Muslims or even Islam? In a far strange land, a democratically elected president of a supposedly secular state, the promoter of democracy is crying only for the Nigerian Christians the victims of communal and ethnic clashes that were on going for decades. Fulani Herdsmen are not fighting for Islam or ethnic afflictions, they attack Fulani also.

I being a direct target of Boko Haram in 2012, and also before then, a victims ‘war against terrorism’ in 2010 in a foreign land, knows better what all these ‘strange’ phenomena means in reality to the grand plan to emasculate Muslims and destroy the Islamic creed. That is in a nutshell the real target.

In 2012, I was not attacked by the ragtag foot soldiers of the Boko Haram nor their disciples; I was attacked by a sophisticated intelligence covering its self under the dark shadow of the dread organization which can never be qualified as a sect or denomination of Islam. They were and still are just ignorant or half baked stooges of a higher intelligence. There was no way, then, that the military leaders of that time were not the least complacent in the intrigue.
