Controversial Islamic cleric, Sheikh Ahmad Abubakar Mahmud Gumi, has claimed that the alleged presence of Israel’s intelligence agency, Mossad, in Nigeria may be a clandestine plot to murder Muslim leaders in the country.
In a statement on his Facebook page, Gumi referenced the death of former military Head of State, General Sani Abacha, alleging he was poisoned on the night he hosted the late Palestinian leader, Yasir Arafat, in Abuja.
The cleric wrote: “Mossad in Abuja!? One should expect the clandestine murder of muslim leaders in Nigeria soon.
“Abacha was poisoned the night he welcomed Yasir Arafat into Nigeria.
“How can this genocidal apartheid government has a footing in Nigeria?
“President Tinubu is ill adviced because it will cost him a lot more than he may gain.”
Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia authorities have arrested and detained a Kano woman, Maryam Hussaini-Abdullahi, after a bag containing Marijuana was allegedly mismatched with her luggage by Ethiopian Airlines.
Mrs Abdullahi had left Nigeria on August 6 alongside her husband, Abdullahi Baffa, to perform a lesser Hajj.
She was detained in Makkah after the police linked a strange “Ghana must go” sack to her name.
Speaking to Daily Nigerian, her husband accused the airline of adding the strange bag to his wife’s luggage without her consent.
Baffa said he alongside his wife had travelled with only one bag each, which were duly cleared before their departure from Malam Aminu Kano International Airport, adding that he was shocked that upon arrival in Jiddah, they could not find their luggage.
“Our flight was connected through Addis Ababa, and we arrived at Jiddah on 7th August. We scaled all the screening processes without any hassle.
“But when we arrived, our luggage was missing, and I reported it to the luggage claim desk.
“They gave us a complaint form to fill, and an acknowledged copy was returned to us. They also told us to expect feedback within 48 hours.
“But I protested, explaining to them that we had no spare clothes, but they insisted that was the procedure,” he said.
Baffa said they proceeded to Madinah and bought new clothes and other essentials, but after eight days he received a call that one of the bags was ready for collection in Jeddah, but he declined and requested it be sent back to Nigeria.
However, things took a dramatic turn when they returned to Madinah to catch their return flight to Nigeria on Thursday via the same airline.
He said, “It was at that point that I was informed that my wife has been restricted, and she can’t travel with me.
“When we arrived for departure, Ethiopian Airlines cleared my passport but said my wife had been blocked from travelling.
“When I enquired about the reason, the immigration officers referred us to the Rihab Centre in Makkah.
“And because Thursdays are not working days in the Kingdom, we couldn’t go. So I approached the Nigerian Consulate in Madinah and reported the incident.
“The head of the consulate made contacts to find out; he was briefed on the situation. He was very nice to us and even attached a staff member of the consulate to accompany us.
“So when we arrived at the investigation office in Makkah on Sunday, we were told in the presence of the consulate staff that my wife’s name was linked to a bag containing suspicious items.”
He said security operatives compared her luggage tags with the impounded bag but found no match, adding that “the bag was tagged with her name, and the police attached her pictures to the bag – but luckily the number on the bag was different from the one issued to us by the airline. But they insisted on detaining pending further investigations.”
“When I went to visit her in the cell, she told me the operatives showed her a Ghana-must-go sack containing wrapped items.
“But the items were totally strange to us. Because she had no connection whatsoever to the bag and its content. My wife is completely innocent,” Baffa said.
