Gunmen killed dozens, possibly over 100, in Woro and Nuku villages on February 4, razing homes and looting amid a wave of violence across Nigerian states. Posts paired old photos of Gumi with bandits to claim he conditioned peace on Kwara embracing Sharia penal codes, but no video, audio, statement, or coverage from major outlets confirms it—his X account stays silent on the topic. Kwara already has Sharia courts for Muslim personal matters under Nigeria's constitution, yet the unverified rumor has split opinions, with calls for Gumi's arrest and fears of religious divides as leaders like Governor AbdulRazaq seek federal help.

Key Takeaway

Amid fresh bandit horrors in Kwara villages, social media posts falsely pinned a shocking demand on Sheikh Ahmad Gumi: adopt full Sharia law for peace.
