El-Zakzaky Explodes: Reveals How the US Is Behind Boko Haram, ISIS and Nigeria's Insecurity Crisis

Nigeria's security conversation took a dramatic turn on Wednesday after the Leader of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria (IMN), Sheikh Ibraheem El-Zakzaky, accused the United States of creating and funding some of the world's deadliest terror groups, including Boko Haram, ISIS, and the Islamic State of West Africa Province (ISWAP).

In a now-viral video circulating across social media, El-Zakzaky alleged that the U.S., working with powerful political actors within Nigeria, is deeply involved in the insecurity ravaging the country. The cleric insisted that the security crisis did not emerge naturally but was "engineered by politicians in powerÔÇØ who allegedly benefit from instability.

El-Zakzaky questioned how individuals previously known as cattle rearers could suddenly possess sophisticated weapons, including armoured vehicles hidden deep inside forest settlements. According to him, such heavy equipment cannot appear "from the earth,ÔÇØ suggesting the involvement of high-level authorities.

He argued that the Nigerian government has the immediate capacity to eliminate insecurity if it truly desires, but has refused to do so because of vested political and economic interests.

Going further, the IMN leader accused the U.S. of openly admitting that it would use terrorism as a strategy to dominate Africa, claiming that the same foreign forces pretend to offer help while allegedly exploiting countries rich in natural resources such as gold, oil, and gas.

El-Zakzaky concluded by warning Nigerians to be vigilant, insisting that the involvement of foreign actors and local politicians in the nation's security chaos explains why killings persist despite heavy military spending.

The comments have sparked widespread debate, with analysts calling for clarity from the federal government, while others describe the cleric's allegations as explosive and worthy of investigation.
