Why El-Rufai is at war with IMN

By Abdulmumin Giwa
A lot of people wonder why the Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai is engaging in an all-out war against Islamic Movement in Nigeria (IMN) and its revered leader Sheikh Ibraheem Zakzaky. The reason is not far-fetched.
It would easily be recalled that El-Rufai condemned the Goodluck Jonathan’s administration for killing the three sons of the IMN leader in an attack on the IMN where 34 members were killed by the Nigerian Army. He was quick at going to the Sheikh’s Gyallesu residence in Zaria to condole him.
It even caused a dent on his political image on the side of his now newly found allies the Wahabi inclined Izala sect of whom Boko Haram is an offshoot, who accused him of becoming a Shiite. He had to go on radio to explain that he condoled a fellow Muslim on humanitarian grounds and that he was not Shiite.
At that time he never saw anything wrong with the IMN and its leadership because indeed nothing is ever wrong with them. At that time the Izala clerics were fully funded by the Jonathan’s administration to help campaign for him. They were even beneficiaries of the Dasukigate where they got N500 million.
They even published posters of El-Rufai shaking hands with Sheikh Zakzaky claiming that El-Rufai was coming with a Shiite agenda just to sway public opinion against him. But the blind APC change trend didn’t allow their propaganda against him to be effective. But a lot of those Izala sectarians did not vote for him but more IMN members went to vote in his favor for showing concern with the plight of their leader.
On assuming power, for reasons best known to the Wahhabi APC government, they decided to clampdown on the IMN with the intention of killing the Leader, dispersing the members and banning the IMN. This operation was strongly supported and planned by the global imperialists that brought the APC to power. That even explains the romance between the Buhari regime and John Kerry of America who visited Buhari before elections, attended the swearing-in, visited northern Nigeria, received Buhari in the US and also Buhari’s financial contribution to Hillary Clinton’s political ambition.
I am still on course, this team of Americans in a romance with the Nigerian regime are the same team along with the Saudi regime that are founding and funding terrorist organizations that include ISIS, DAESH, Al-Qaeda, Taliban and Boko Haram. There is nothing hidden about this and their activities in Syria, Bahrain, Yemen and even in Nigeria.
With their influence and control over the Nigerian regime they connected them to the international club where the Nigerian President confidently displayed himself as a Wahhabi agent serving the interest of Saudi Arabian monarchy. He hosted their world conference, he was visited by high leveled delegation along with their Nigerian agents from the Izala sect, they took President Buhari to Saudi Arabia and opened the gates of the Ka’abah for him and even presented him with a piece of cloth from the Ka’bah.
For this the president was ready to kill anybody that identifies with Shiite faith in Nigeria and so they plotted the Zaria massacre. The plot actually failed because the IMN leader they killed did not die and it became a problem for them trying to cover up genocide.
The Izala sect went closer to El-Rufai to exploit the situation to buy him over. The Saudis were willing to part with millions of Dollars for any northern Nigerian governor that would buy into their plot of eliminating the Shiites they see as a threat to their influence and interest in Nigeria.
On the side of the Izala and the Wahhabi regime of Saudi Arabia it was a very big problem for them how Shiite Islam was gaining grounds due to exodus of people from Sunni to Shiah Islam. They have funded the Izala to spread hate against the Shiites and division among Muslims in the country in general.
They used some relief foundations in funding the clerics most notably the Islamic International Relief Organization, IIRO. This organization was banned under the suspicion that it was providing funds to terrorists. It built several Izala schools and mosques in the country as part of its activities in the country.
The Izala had declared all other Muslims that don’t follow their ideas as infidels and polytheist. They have records of religious crises with the Christians in Nigeria especially in Kaduna and Jos in particular. A thing never engaged in by Shiites. In fact the extension of brotherhood and humanity to Christians by the Shiites is always condemned by the Izala.
The IMN to them is generally seen as the umbrella of Shiite Islam and if they successfully bring it down they have finished with Shiites and Shiism in Nigeria.
Already on the international scene the Saudis are allies with America and Israel who are all self-appointed enemies of the Islamic Republic of Iran. America, Israel and Saudi Arabia see the IMN as a threat to their interests. The growth of IMN to them is a growing Iranian influence and so they must join forces together to eliminate it. That was why the Zaria massacre never attracted any mainstream international media reports. Because it was all part of the plot to play it low.
With his ambition of wanting to become Nigeria’s president, El-Rufai found an opportunity in joining the team full time to be able to be anointed by the team as the next Nigerian President.
The Saudis were said to have promised funding El-Rufai’s 2019 presidential campaign with millions of petro-dollars if he could bring an end to Shiites. They have also displayed this by bribing the governors with millions of dollars as they did to the Malaysian president to help disperse the Shiites.
He is now faced with crimes against humanity at the International Criminal Court (ICC) for his role of mass buying 347 IMN members in violation of the Geneva Convention, Kaduna state laws and religious laws where many people were even buried alive. He has to make all possible efforts to ensure he blackmails the IMN to justify the crimes they committed against it.
He is now busy concocting lies and fabrications against the IMN accusing it of training a military, being a threat to Nigeria’s sovereignty, and not recognizing constituted authorities without even presenting any facts or evidence.
El-Rufai has funded a lot of provocative activities to push the IMN into violence but the movement had resisted, including attacking IMN members in communities in Kaduna, killing them and looting their property, burning their residences, demolishing their schools and health centers all with the hope that they react in violence. He started by banning the IMN in the state and spreading official hate speeches against the IMN. He is now happy with his newly found Wahabi Izala faith that he even went to apologize to for teargasing them during a leadership fracas they had some Fridays ago.
As a state governor the same lies he propagate against the IMN are the same lies members of his Wahabi Izala sect are propagating around but without presenting any proof or facts.
El-Rufai is so deeply confident of his funds for his 2019 presidential ambition from Saudi Arabia that he is now engaging his mentors by abusing and insulting people like former president Atiku Abubakar that brought him to limelight and Olusegun Obasanjo that made him the FCT minister. Both of them now describe him as a betrayer, a pathological liar and an opportunist.
These are simply some of the reasons why Nasir El-Rufai is in an all-out war with the IMN. But actually it will not succeed because the Saudis are fast running bankrupt being a mono-economy that depends solely on petro-dollars. The US has squeezed them so tight that they have made a whopping $30b dollar from arms purchase for its war in Syria and Yemen.
Saudi Arabia has been spending so much funding terrorism and war across the globe that it had fallen into recession. It has now reverted to using Gregorian calendar to raise more funds from workers’ salaries from the differences in days between the lunar calendar and the Gregorian calendar. Workers are now protesting non-payment of salaries in Saudi Arabia as well. Definitely El-Rufai will not succeed in his fight against the IMN as he is possibly going to end his life in jail for crimes against humanity as ICC is set to investigate him and others.

Today the Islamic Movement held a press conference on the persecution it suffered since the beginning of the first month of the Islamic calendar to date. Below is the statement read by Shaikh Abdulhamid Bello.

SERIAL VIOLATION OF OUR RIGHTS CONTINUE WITH STATE-SPONSORED HATE, VIOLENCE AND REPRESSION
Good day Ladies and Gentlemen of the press.

Background:
Since the gruesome premeditated attack on the Islamic Movement in Nigeria (IMN) by the Army in December last year, we have never had it so bad, where our right to life as citizens of Nigeria is trampled upon like during this year’s Ashura season. We had a premonition of what was to come, when a devilish scheme to brutalize us was exposed earlier. The purported ban of our activities by governor El-Rufai was meant to be a trigger for the planned attacks. It indeed instigated the murder and destruction of properties of our members. Some blood thirsty Izala/Salafi preachers saw the opportunity to pour their venomous hate messages against the Movement and now even back it up with state-sanctioned attacks.

Ashura attacks:
Soon after, our members attending the mourning sessions held at the Islamic Centre in Kaduna were the first to suffer molestation in the hands of security forces as they were intercepted on their way, arrested and charged to court. But it was much worse at the time the attacks became full blown.

By the tenth of Muharram 1438, members trooped out en masse to mourn the martyrdom of Imam Husain (AS) as it is the practice within the Islamic world. First signs of the scope of the attack on us came from Funtua, Katsina state, when heavily armed policemen, in broad daylight, opened fire on the peaceful march. That resulted in the premeditated killing of ten members on the spot. Several others sustained varying degrees of injuries, including women and children. To aggravate the situation, the police arrested 36, including underage people. Soon thereafter, the pattern of attack was almost simultaneously replicated in Kaduna, Sokoto, Kano and Jos.

In Kaduna, the Ashura procession was concluded peacefully. However, a contingent of security agents disguised as hoodlums ambushed members on their way home. This was followed by an organized attack on the Islamic Centre in the Tudun wada neighborhood, leading to the murder of 3 people, in the most gruesome manner. The video clip of that brutal murder went viral on the social media. Looting and wanton destruction of properties belonging to our members ensued and finally the centre was completely razed by sponsored thugs, under the watchful eyes of the security forces.

Jos, the Plateau state capital became a theatre of war against the Movement as well. Armed soldiers arbitrarily arrested women and children clad in black attire, a symbol of the Ashura mourning on their way for Ashura mourning procession. This was followed by the unleashing of terror by combined team of soldiers, policemen and street urchins on our members, burning the Jos Islamic Centre and looting valuable properties. Although no life was lost in the melee, the police and the soldiers at the scene displayed brazen disregard for life and property. A total of 46 members, including nursing mothers, pregnant woman and many underage children were arrested. Bail was denied by the police until recently after spending close to forty days behind bars. The precedence that the Movement has never been involved in the myriads of crises in the state notwithstanding, Governor Lalong, who was nowhere near banning the various armed tribal groups that have denied Plateau its peace for over a decade, suddenly surfaced in the media and imitated his Kaduna state counterpart, with an arbitrary and unjustified ban order on the Movement.

In Kano, the Ashura procession had ended peacefully before security agents masquerading as youth vanguard attacked people as they went their various ways. Three people were instantly murdered and many others sustained injuries. Over fifty members of the Islamic Movement, mostly women and children, were paradoxically arrested, arraigned before magistrate courts and remanded in prison custody.

In all the attacks of Ashura, certain pattern emerged that showed the centrality of planning and execution. The plot was schemed by the Nigerian security forces. In all towns where killings, destruction and arson took place, it followed the same pattern. Security forces had disguised as miscreants to unleash havoc. Both security personnel and thugs were ferried in official police vans. After the mayhem they unleashed, they proceeded to pounce on mostly women and children to arrest and detain. None of the miscreants was arrested and there has not been a single policeman or soldier identified in the attack that was arrested or punished for any of these atrocities. All these leave none in doubt that cleansing of Shiah and all members of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria is now an official federal government policy.

Attacks on Arbaeen Trek:
Not satisfied with the blood they spilled during Ashura, security agents again plotted against the Arbaeen symbolic trek. The plot was again leaked and exposed, but being an official government program, nobody could call the government to order. On Monday 14 November 2016, a combined forces of military and police attacked a peaceful trek from Kano on their way to Zaria. At least a hundred people were lost to police bullets, and their corpses carted away to unknown locations. It is feared that they may have also been buried in mass graves in a similar manner they did in Zaria last December.

Desperate to cover their atrocities, the police are engaged in concocting stories. IGP comes out to brazenly lie about the glaring attack. This Kano massacre was done in broad daylight. There were many independent witnesses including non-Muslims who witnessed what had happened. Pictures and video clips of the trek before and after the police brutal attacks are also additional evidence that we weren’t armed at all (we have never been). We tried to avoid their attempts at disruption when we started the trek from outside the metropolis. We were trekking away from Kano towards Zaria and we didn’t obstruct traffic. It was the heavily armed police that scattered the hitherto orderly, peaceful and solemn procession. There was simply no justification for the police attack that unjustifiably shot indiscriminately, killing men, women and children, including an eight month old infant.

Not even in any of the pictures of our shot colleagues felled by police bullets did we see any with weapon by his/her side. There is no doubt that had we been armed, they would have shown pictures and video clips of us with the weapons. All we have seen are crude attempts to plant weapons on our members. This too we had much earlier alerted the public on the nefarious plot. The public is well aware that we never use weapons. Gone are the days when anyone, no matter his status or position, can just use the instruments of the State to just give a dog a bad name in order to hang it.

Federal government is responsible for all the acts of terror against the Movement
All these unfortunate incidents are not independent of one another; they are part of a coordinated plan to exterminate the Islamic Movement, which was started on the 12th of December 2015. The escalation of terror against the Movement in the recent past months is not unconnected with the broader goals of the Federal government to exterminate the Movement. The Arbaeen trek would have shown the futility of their actions in the past had they allowed the gathering and that would have sent some signals to their paymasters. Knowing that our Arbaeen gathering in Zaria is one of the largest in this part of West Africa, they dream of scuttling it.

We have noted with satisfaction that an increasing number of independent groups and individuals are boldly calling the government to do justice in our case. We appreciate their concerns and quest for truth and justice as they remind the Federal government that we too are humans and citizens deserving protection. We also acknowledge with contentment recent assurances in the ICC Report on Preliminary Examination Activities for 2016, in which it indicated that it is examining possibility that Zaria massacre and its aftermath involved crimes against humanity under the Rome Statute.

Conclusion:
The Islamic Movement in Nigeria hereby calls on the general public to be mindful of the shameless disregard to civilian lives and properties exhibited by Buhari administration, and to unequivocally condemn it in its entirety. It is time to call Buhari and his cohorts to order. They should be reminded that they were not voted into office to kill those they harbour religious enmity towards. The life and properties of all citizens are sacrosanct as sanctioned by all sane laws.

Finally, we will like to reiterate our demand for the unconditional release of our leader, Sheikh Ibraheem Zakzaky, his wife and all those being detained illegally since the Army massacre in Zaria last year. We also call for the release of all those unjustifiably detained since the pogrom started. We restate our call for the release of all corpses of our martyrs, buried in mass graves in Kaduna and Kano, so as to give them a befitting burial.

The many lies of Nig govt on massacre of IMN members

By Abdulmumin Giwa
It is definitely clear to the world that members of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria have on several occasions played victims to unprovoked attacks by Nigerian government and her security agents.
Any time they feel like testing the capacity of their troops they clampdown on IMN member and kill as many as they wish even as they clearly and fearfully run for dear life when attacked by Boko Haram or Niger Delta militants.
They are more gallant and skilled when killing Shiites but when they are faced by militants elsewhere they run away. Yes, the Shiites are unarmed and made up of unsuspecting worshipers including women, children and the aged. They are a very soft target for murder and wanton killings.
They exploit some of the Shiites principles of not attacking people in the name of vengeance, not taking arms and not stating any form of violence. You can comfortably come-kill-and-go of them and nothing will happen because they don’t even have guns. If it were Boko Haram or Niger Delta militants the soldiers and police dare recklessly attack them like that.
The Nigerian government has made killing of Shiites a regular affair even as they just engage in killing them without any provocation and is known to everybody. But still, due cowardice and hypocrisy they invent and fabricate lies to justify the killings.
Yes cowardice, because if they are truly gallant they will say we just killed them so what? Nobody will raise an eyebrow because the world is watching and they know what you are doing is extra-judicial killing and are aware that you always fabricate lies to cover up for your crimes.
The government, military and police agencies know they are liars, they know that people know that what they are saying are lies and yet they continue to tell lies as if telling lies is always the condition for any attack they make.
Everyone could recall how the COAS went to the National Human Right Commission after murdering over 1000 IMN members in Zaria in 2015 to claim that he killed only seven. Even as people knew it was a lie nobody said anything. But when the Human Rights Watch and especially the Amnesty International preempted their crimes they were forced to reveal that they buried 347 in a mass grave at night to hide the crime. If what they are doing is in the interest of government, why do they have to fabricate lies and be making cover ups. They should simply come out and say we just killed them.
Even in Kaduna state during the Zaria massacre when Governor El-Rufai unveiled his hatred for IMN and its leader he said a lot of unsubstantiated things. He joined hands with the Nigerian Army to demolish properties of the IMN. When it appeared to him that the documents of the properties were intact he had to lie to convince the public why he did it. He said he demolished them because they would cause an environmental threat to residences of the affected areas because of the way the soldiers shattered the places.
They were horrific and served as evidences of using excessive strength on civilians by the Nigerian Army that is doing all possible to hide its crimes and pretend they did not happen. He demolished them all. These claims of his can serve for Hussainiyya, Darur Rahma and the residence of Sheikh Ibraheem Zakzaky. But he also demolished the Fudiyya Islamic Center at Danmagaji and the tomb of Sheikh Zakzaky’s mother in Zaria city that were not targets of Army attacks. This proved that it was an agenda. In hhis own case there are just too many lies.
The Amnesty International in its report said the Army cordoned off the places they attacked and washed off blood stains and picked up bombs and bullet shells to hide the crime.
They lie so much in such a way that they didn’t even have to coordinate the lies and what every one of them says will contradict what the other will say.
Just imagine the contradictions between what the IG of Police said and what the Kano state police commissioner said on the mass killing of IMN Arbaeen trekkers in Kano. The CP is saying that the IMN members harassed people, broke car windscreens and seized a gun from a policeman to kill a policeman.
He never showed any car they smashed or the harassed members of the public injured by IMN. What happened took place in broad daylight and people saw a mobile policeman killed a policeman. Nobody would tell whether it was deliberate or by mistake but here he is framing the IMN. Just imagine policemen shooting and then somebody walks up to them seized a gun from one of them and killed just a policeman. Does this make sense? A very foolish lie indeed. The policeman killed was by a friendly bullet and everyone saw it.
On the other hand the IG in his own public statement claimed that the IMN was armed to the teeth and was planning to take over the highway. He never waited to study what it will look like when he fabricated that. There are thousands of still pictures and videos of the entire incident from take-off of the symbolic trek to the brutal attack by police which are now on Youtube and other social media.
No single person could be sighted in those pictures and videos carrying any type of weapon whatsoever. The trekkers assembled in broad daylight in the presence of the public and commenced their trek along the side walk. Traffic was flowing and everyone was doing his business. In fact the trek had gone far peacefully until the police came attacking. Onlookers were surprised as to what was happening because there was no reason or any provocation for any attack. No single person was carrying anything apart from Free Zakzaky posters and flags of Imam Hussain AS. Now that the IG says “IMN members were armed to the teeth”, what does he think those that saw what happened among members of the public will take him for? A shameless liar of course, this is the danger.
I know the Vice President only naturally responded based on the lies he was also told to further help propagate. He said that the IMN members attacked and killed a policeman and the police have to defend themselves whereas nothing of such happened. This he might not understand is only appending his signature to the unprovoked killing of innocent Nigerians.
To even add salt to injury, they have abducted about 87 IMN members most of them with bullet injuries and dumped them at the Kano police headquarters torturing them to accept that they were armed when they were arrested. The bad thing about doing evil is that it tortures you and leaves you restless especially when you kill human beings with no justifiable reason.
There are close to a hundred dead bodies with them and are probably considering giving most of them a mass burial to adjust their lies that only a few were killed. Hence they have refused to hand over the dead bodies. They earlier deposited some of them at the morgue in Murtala Hospital Kano and later went and took them away. They are now keeping dead bodies and the injured with them.
Wonderful, this is how democratic Buhari’s APC government is, murder, lies, cowardice, hypocrisy, tyranny, deception, mischief….
Lastly, assuming the IMN members actually block roads, the job of the police is not to kill them for that and also not to also stop them from their worship activities but to make sure they do it by the side walk and not on the road. This is the job of the police if at all they care to do it. One is left to wonder what provoked the incessant killings of innocent human beings for the crime of walking on a public road.
Anyway, the life loss is not going for nothing because the IMN is gaining more and more sympathy, support and strength. More and more people are now opting for the IMN thanks to the government tyranny. More and more people now understand that the government is unfolding a sponsored project from its masters abroad to kill IMN members in the name of killing Shiites. It exposes the weakness of the government that is working just like a puppet. Where is Nigeria heading to? Killing, killing, killing, blood, blood, blood until they get drowned by the blood they spill, that is the path of the Buhari-led Wahhabi/APC government.

Even in Kaduna state during the Zaria massacre when Governor El-Rufai unveiled his hatred for IMN and its leader he said a lot of unsubstantiated things. He joined hands with the Nigerian Army to demolish properties of the IMN. When it appeared to him that the documents of the properties were intact he had to lie to convince the public why he did it. He said he demolished them because they would cause an environmental threat to residences of the affected areas because of the way the soldiers shattered the places.
They were horrific and served as evidences of using excessive strength on civilians by the Nigerian Army that is doing all possible to hide its crimes and pretend they did not happen. He demolished them all. These claims of his can serve for Hussainiyya, Darur Rahma and the residence of Sheikh Ibraheem Zakzaky. But he also demolished the Fudiyya Islamic Center at Danmagaji and the tomb of Sheikh Zakzaky’s mother in Zaria city that were not targets of Army attacks. This proved that it was an agenda. In hhis own case there are just too many lies.
The Amnesty International in its report said the Army cordoned off the places they attacked and washed off blood stains and picked up bombs and bullet shells to hide the crime.
They lie so much in such a way that they didn’t even have to coordinate the lies and what every one of them says will contradict what the other will say.
Just imagine the contradictions between what the IG of Police said and what the Kano state police commissioner said on the mass killing of IMN Arbaeen trekkers in Kano. The CP is saying that the IMN members harassed people, broke car windscreens and seized a gun from a policeman to kill a policeman.
He never showed any car they smashed or the harassed members of the public injured by IMN. What happened took place in broad daylight and people saw a mobile policeman killed a policeman. Nobody would tell whether it was deliberate or by mistake but here he is framing the IMN. Just imagine policemen shooting and then somebody walks up to them seized a gun from one of them and killed just a policeman. Does this make sense? A very foolish lie indeed. The policeman killed was by a friendly bullet and everyone saw it.
On the other hand the IG in his own public statement claimed that the IMN was armed to the teeth and was planning to take over the highway. He never waited to study what it will look like when he fabricated that. There are thousands of still pictures and videos of the entire incident from take-off of the symbolic trek to the brutal attack by police which are now on Youtube and other social media.
No single person could be sighted in those pictures and videos carrying any type of weapon whatsoever. The trekkers assembled in broad daylight in the presence of the public and commenced their trek along the side walk. Traffic was flowing and everyone was doing his business. In fact the trek had gone far peacefully until the police came attacking. Onlookers were surprised as to what was happening because there was no reason or any provocation for any attack. No single person was carrying anything apart from Free Zakzaky posters and flags of Imam Hussain AS. Now that the IG says “IMN members were armed to the teeth”, what does he think those that saw what happened among members of the public will take him for? A shameless liar of course, this is the danger.
I know the Vice President only naturally responded based on the lies he was also told to further help propagate. He said that the IMN members attacked and killed a policeman and the police have to defend themselves whereas nothing of such happened. This he might not understand is only appending his signature to the unprovoked killing of innocent Nigerians.
To even add salt to injury, they have abducted about 87 IMN members most of them with bullet injuries and dumped them at the Kano police headquarters torturing them to accept that they were armed when they were arrested. The bad thing about doing evil is that it tortures you and leaves you restless especially when you kill human beings with no justifiable reason.
There are close to a hundred dead bodies with them and are probably considering giving most of them a mass burial to adjust their lies that only a few were killed. Hence they have refused to hand over the dead bodies. They earlier deposited some of them at the morgue in Murtala Hospital Kano and later went and took them away. They are now keeping dead bodies and the injured with them.
Wonderful, this is how democratic Buhari’s APC government is, murder, lies, cowardice, hypocrisy, tyranny, deception, mischief….
Lastly, assuming the IMN members actually block roads, the job of the police is not to kill them for that and also not to also stop them from their worship activities but to make sure they do it by the side walk and not on the road. This is the job of the police if at all they care to do it. One is left to wonder what provoked the incessant killings of innocent human beings for the crime of walking on a public road.
Anyway, the life loss is not going for nothing because the IMN is gaining more and more sympathy, support and strength. More and more people are now opting for the IMN thanks to the government tyranny. More and more people now understand that the government is unfolding a sponsored project from its masters abroad to kill IMN members in the name of killing Shiites. It exposes the weakness of the government that is working just like a puppet. Where is Nigeria heading to? Killing, killing, killing, blood, blood, blood until they get drowned by the blood they spill, that is the path of the Buhari-led Wahhabi/APC government.

Nigerian government suppressing IMN members

By Abdulmumin Giwa
Since the peaceful Free Sheikh Zakzaky protest by the Academic Forum of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria (AFIMN) in Abuja last week, it has become pertinent to address the observations made by the organizers.
The National Human Right Commission (NHRC) was condemned by the protesters for refusing to take any actions on the demands of the IMN after several protests in front of the NHRC while the same commission was quick to respond to the complaints of the Chief of Army Staff (COAS) who claimed that he was targeted for assassination by the IMN in December 2015 in Zaria.
The NHRC was quick at establishing an inquiry into his claims but failed to heed the calls by the IMN for the release of its leader Sheikh Ibraheem Zakzaky whose fundamental human right is violated as he is kept in illegal detention for now over 11 months.
Sheikh Zakzaky was attacked in his house by the Nigerian Army and shot severally, he lost the left eye and the motor function of his left arm, his wife was shot severally in the womb, three of his biological sons killed brutally, his elder sister and others in the house burned alive and the residence burned down and subsequently demolished by governor El-rufai. Finally he was abducted and detained illegally.
The NHRC was not interested in all these violations and extra-judicial acts committed by the Nigerian government and its Army even as the victims have complained several times before it but was interested in favoring the COAS.
This segregation extends widely. Soldiers, police and hired thugs conveyed in security vehicle were seen beating IMN members in and throwing them in the back of their vehicles chanting anti-Shi’ite slogans and taken to prison custody with fabricated charges in court. Yet the police hypocritically say they were protecting the IMN members from attack whereas they are the attackers.
The security men and hired thugs go round looting property and killing IMN members and when they go to complain to the police they get arrested and detained for complaining. In Jos in particular, two IMN members went to complain to the police when they saw some of their looted items on sale in a local market and the police simply arrested them and took them to prison saying they were hunting for IMN members. They never bothered to go after the property thereby signing and approving the looting of IMN members’ properties.
In Kaduna state the governor deceptively said he had ordered the arrest of the thugs that looted and killed IMN members but they are still around and no one is being arrested. Moreover most of them were policemen dressed like thugs so one wonders who will be arrested.
There was also the case of an Area Court Judge in Kaduna bragging in court that IMN members have no rights and should be hunted like rats. An IMN member was charged to his court by one of those who attacked the Kaduna IMN center and killed two IMN members claiming that the IMN member was a threat to him. Without any further investigation the judge was already biased and denying the IMN member bail. He too is now in prison.
Another IMN member was arrested by police in Kaduna for making calls with his cell phone close to where they were. They checked his phone and saw pictures of Sheikh Zakzaky and they arraigned him before court, he is now in prison.
That was also how a vendor was arrested because he was in possession of Al-Mizan newspaper of the IMN, a registered paper with an Nigerian Union of Journalists chapel, and was rushed to court and sentenced to four years imprisonment or an option of N80,000 (eighty thousand) and four months in jail. He too is now in prison.
Minors, injured persons, pregnant and nursing mothers have been jailed in Jos and Kaduna for being IMN members and in some cases for simply dressing in black. Some of them are now still in prison.
The government is supporting these acts of suppression and abuse of fundamental human rights against IMN members and also using state funds and facilities to facilitate them.
This is anarchy and a display of misrule in a democratic dispensation. Those in power use state resources against a religious understanding they see to be rivaling their own religious belief. They contradict their own oath of office to be fair and just to all.
Definitely as the APC turns into a Wahhabi/Salafi movement implementing a sectarian agenda more and more Nigerians are threatened.
The Wahabis have mentioned it in several places that when they finished with the Shiites they will then deal with the Christians. At least they have a standing record of religious crises in Nigeria and the fierce terrorist Boko Haram is their offshoot. This is a very dangerous trend.
It is nothing done behind the scene because all Nigerians have seen how President Buhari has hosted Wahhabi terror breeders from Saudi Arabia on several occasions.
It is now the duty of every right-thinking person to rise against percussion and minority cleansing of IMN members by the Nigerian government. It is a clear threat to peace and harmony of the citizenry. Obedience to law and order as well as the constitution should be an-everybody affair to start by the Nigerian government.
The human rights image of the Nigerian government is highly discouraging. Nigerian government has a record of extra-judicial killings, abuse of fundamental human rights, disobedience to court orders and violation of national and international laws.
This APC government appears to be more like a government of thugs who operate dictatorially with utter disregard to the law and yet hypocritically claims that it is fighting corruption and enforcing law and order. Imagine the Nigerian government sponsoring thugs to attack and loot citizens because they see them as rivals in faith understanding. This is very unbecoming of a government. `
