Sheikh Gumi Denies Taking Businessman’s Wife, Says ‘I’m Protecting Her From Abuse’

Islamic cleric and prominent public commentator, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi, has denied allegations that he “snatched” the wife of a Kaduna-based businessman, insisting that his involvement in the matter was aimed at protecting the woman from alleged abuse.
Gumi reportedly reacted to claims circulating on social media and in some reports suggesting that he was involved in taking the woman away from her husband.
The cleric dismissed the allegation, maintaining that the situation had been misrepresented and that his actions were motivated by concern for the woman’s welfare.
According to Gumi, the woman was allegedly experiencing problems in her marriage and had sought assistance. He said his role was not to take another man’s wife but to ensure that she was protected from what he described as abusive treatment.
The controversy has generated reactions online, with members of the public seeking clarification over the circumstances surrounding the woman’s relationship with her husband and Gumi’s involvement.
Gumi’s denial comes amid growing public discussion about domestic disputes, the protection of women experiencing abuse, and the role religious leaders should play when they are approached for help in marital matters.
The cleric maintained that he had no intention of interfering improperly in the marriage, stressing that his concern was the safety and wellbeing of the woman involved.
The allegations and Gumi’s response have continued to attract attention, while further details about the dispute remain subject to clarification from the parties directly involved.
