Controversial activist lawyer, Deji Adeyanju, has taken a swipe at Islamic scholar, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi, following the death of Iranian Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Khamenei.
Adeyanju described Gumi as a terrorist sympathizer after the latter described Khamenei as a “lucky soul” following his demise.
Recall that 86-year-old Khamenei was killed on Saturday, February 28, after a joint strike by Israel and the United States.
The airstrike was part of a large-scale operation in the heart of Tehran.
Reacting, Gumi described the deceased Iran’s Supreme Leader as “a lucky soul” who “died in jihad.”
Gumi said Khamenei died “in jihad against killers of innocent children and women in Gaza and elsewhere.”
He added that Khamenei’s blood “will fuel the change in the ummah,” noting that the Iranian leader stood firmly for justice and didn’t hide in bunkers.
However, Adeyanju wrote on X: “Gumi and other terrorist sympathizers in Nigeria are crying, the demon of Iran is gone.
“Iran makes too much noise for such a weak and defenseless country. Why is their airspace so weak like this? US announced it will attack Iran and still they couldn’t stop all these explosions.
“Why was it so easy for US and Israel to kill the demon of Iran? And why do Israel and US have easy access to Iranian airspace to be attacking them at will after all the noise Iran makes all the time?”
