Welcome to the official website of Internet Forum of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria, under the spiritual leadership of his eminence, Sayyid Ibraheem Ya'qoub Zakzaky(H).
Thousands in FREE ZAKZAKY Protest in Northern Nigeria
Today Sunday 21/02/16 a peaceful FREE ZAKZAKY protest was held in major cities across Northern Nigeria.
Reports reaching us from Potiskum, the commercial city of Yobe state, Nigeria said the protesters were on major streets of the town demanding the release of Shaikh Ibraheem Zakzaky, who is being detained by the federal government since December 2015.
In Kano, another commercial centre of the region, the protesters went round the major streets of the city chanting the slogan FREE ZAKZAKY in English and Hausa languages.
A similar protest which was held in the morning in Gombe, the capital of Gombe state ended peacefully.
Thousands of protesters went round Sokoto town highlighting the merciless killings the Nigerian army did when it attacked the Islamic Movement in Zaria.
In Kaduna the protest was held along Nnamdi Azikiwe western bypass, and was attended by muslim brothers and sisters in their thousands.
A similar protest was staged in Zaria where the army killed over a thousand defenceless people and it was attended by many brothers and sisters of the Islamic Movement chanting the slogan "We demand justice now".
The story is the same in Bauchi, where thousands thronged the major streets of the town calling for freedom of those detained because of the army's onslaught against the Islamic Movement.
In Lafia, the capital of Nassarawa state, thousands also participated in the peaceful protest calling for the release of Sheikh Zakzaky and other hundreds now languishing in detention centres.
In Yola the capital of Adamawa state a contingent of the army arrived at the scene of the protest, but the protesters were focussed on their peaceful procession, thereby aborting any willful attack by the soldiers.
Daura, the hometown of President Buhari was not immune to the protest, thousands marched through the streets calling on their son to release Sheikh Zakzaky.

WE SHALL NOT RELENT IN SEEING SHAIKH IBRAHEEM ZAKZAKY (H) RIGHTS IS UPHELD!
The continued Friday #Free Zakzaky# rally like in many cities in the world was also held in Kano Nigeria at Fagge Friday mosque, Friday 11th Jimadal Thani 1437 (February 19th, 2016) with those in attendance demanding the leader of the Islamic movement in Nigeria released unconditionally for no crime committed but held unlawfully by the Nigerian government for more than 65days.
WE ARE DEMANDING FOR THE UNCONDITIONAL RELEASE OF OUR LEADER SHAIKH IBRAHEEM YAQUOB EL ZAKZAKY (H)
Academic forum of the Islamic movement (AFIM) in Kano city today Thursday evening February 18th, 2016 held a rally calling for the unconditional release of the leader of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria His Eminence Shaikh Ibraheem Yaquob El Zakzaky (H) who since the Zaria December 12-14th massacre has been held in detention with no due reason, despite the unjust bullet injuries, destruction of properties and inhuman killing of his followers.
The rally consisting of students from primary to tertiary levels was held at Elderado Junction of Sani Abacha way close to College of Arts Science and Remedial Studies, Kano raising placards and pictures with written demands of theirs and distributing rally releases to passersby.
In the name of the most exalted; Who promised to preserve and protect the original source of Islamic teachings no matter the changes in human race, environment and diverse ideologies.
Since after the bloodthirsty Nigerian military's raid on the peaceful members of the Islamic movement in Nigeria a peaceful protest demanding the release of Sheikh Zakzaky (H) and other detainees is going across the country and social media as well.
Students of Academic Forum of the Islamic Movement (AFIMN) A.B.U Zaria are among the several millions that conduct this peaceful protest and have released article concerning the carnage. Yeah! Students are well known of respecting humanity, they strongly sympathise with us and are against this brutal massacre.
Association of Muslim Scientist (AMS), an affiliation of Muslim Students Society in the Academia are now releasing articles concerning this issue. They are pleading that "people should not sympathise with us; as we are infidels" and that the article we released is just to lure people to our ideology. But that didn't work as students still sympathise with us.
Our Solicitors denied access to Sheikh Zakzaky recently
Following the invitation for memorandum to be submitted to the Judicial Commission of Inquiry established by the Kaduna state government as contained in a letter received by the Islamic Movement in Nigeria on the 2nd of February 2016, it is pertinent to note that all efforts towards meeting to the request might be jeopardized by the refusal to allow access to the revered leader of the Movement, his Eminence Sheikh Ibraheem Zakzaky.
On February 8, 2016 Solicitors of the Islamic Movement wrote a letter to the Inspector General of Police requesting to meet the leader of the Islamic Movement Sheikh Ibraheem Yaqoub Zakzaky, however up to this moment they were not given access to him.
In his position as the sole custodian of the Movement, the need to meet Sheikh Ibraheem Zakzaky for guidance on the right steps to take in the current situation cannot be overemphasized. Unfortunately, all efforts to meet with Sheikh Ibraheem Zakzaky as demanded by the Movement have been refused by the authorities who are illegally abducting him and refusing him any visitation.
In view of this, the Islamic Movement in Nigeria is insisting that it must get the express permission and authorization of its leader Shaikh Ibraheem Zakzaky before it will take a decision on whether to submit a memorandum to the Judicial Commission of Inquiry. This is in view of the fact that Shaikh Ibraheem Zakzaky is the leader of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria. He is also the spokesperson of the Movement as well as the custodian of its properties
Considering the magnitude of the events that took place in Zaria between the 12th and 14th day of December 2015 and the subsequent events in Kaduna State, the members of the Islamic Movement of Nigeria are of the firm view that their team of lawyers must see their leader and get instructions and proper briefings from him before the period for the submission of Memorandum elapses.
The Chief Magistrate 1, Ibrahim Taiwo Road Kaduna must be investigated
We deem it necessary and expedient to once again address the issue of our members that are presently detained in the Kaduna convict Prison and awaiting trial. We decided to address the issue a second time based on the illegalities that have attended their detention and the unconstitutional and procedural breaches that have attended the cognizance by the Chief Magistrate 1, Ibrahim Taiwo Road, Awaal Umar.
1. On the 17th day of December 2015 the Nigerian Police Force prepared a First Information Report In relation to some of our members in their custody. The first of the First Information Report KMD/188X/15 had a total of 34 suspects. The second of the First Information Report KMD/189X/15 had a total of 79 suspects. The third of the First Information Report KMD/190X/15 had a total of 90 suspects. The Fourth of the First Information Report KMD/191X/15 had a total of 10 suspects mostly those arrested in Kaduna on the 16th day of December 2015. The fifth First Information Report KMD/204X/15 had a total of 49 suspects.
2. The Nigerian Police Force did not take any of these suspects to the Chief Magistrate Court for cognizance/prosecution and the Chief Magistrate 1, Ibrahim Taiwo Road, Awaal Umar did not demand to see any of suspects before he signed their remand warrant and they were taken to prison directly from the various police formations where they were detained. The Chief Magistrate knew what he did was illegal and unconstitutional
3. It was on the basis of this procedural irregularity and illegality that prompted the same Chief Magistrate to sit inside the premises of the Kaduna Convict prison to regularize what is patently an illegal arraignment and detention of the suspects and this he thought he has done on the 10th day of February 2016.
4. That based on the irregular arraignment, the Chief Magistrate could not explain how four of our members found themselves inside the Kaduna Convict prison when their names were not in all the First information Reports. These are Nasiru Umar, Auwal Abubakar, Ibrahim Abdulhamid and Zaharadden Abdulaziz. Rather than arrest this illegality, the Chief Magistrate ordered the Police to capture and add their names to any of the First Information Reports.
5. We are also at a loss why the Chief Magistrate will adjourn a simple bail application argued before him to the 29th of March 2016 on the basis of an illegal directive he claimed he received from the Judicial Commission of inquiry not to release any of the suspects on bail pending the conclusion of their sitting.
#Zaria_Massacre:Why Governors of Northern Nigeria went to #SaudiArabia?
On 12th & 13th December, 2015, the Nigerian Army launched a coordinated & pre-planned attacks on the peaceful Islamic Movement of Nigeria ( IMN ) killing 1000+ defenseless & unarmed Nigerians. After the brutal massacre, the Nigerian Army burnt some of the bodies and buried the rest in mass graves to bury the evidences. Nigerians called for the Nigerian government to establish an independent, credible and impartial judicial commission of inquiry to investigate the Zaria massacre. But the Nigerian government declined to do that despite the huge loss of human lives and massive reports of gross human rights violations by the Nigerian Army.

BURATAI'S CONVOY WAS BLOCKED IN ABUJA ON SUNDAY 07/02/16
A lot of those who don't sympathise with brothers of the Islamic Movement who were gunned downed by the army in Zaria do quickly point accusing fingers to the Movement, saying 'why should you barricade the road of a whole General?' We always say to them it is not because the road was blocked that the army opened fire on armless civilians, rather it was a premeditated plan to exterminate the Movement.
And I think what happened on Sunday 07/02/16 is a pointer to our claim that the Nigerian army put on the garb of a JIHADI OUTFIT OF THE LIKES OF ISIS in attacking tne islamic Movement.
The General, Buratai ofcourse, drove along Obafemi Awolowo way, Abuja that Sunday morning around 9:15am with amoured convoy that some even claim pass that of Buhari the president, and met a barricade mounted as usual by the MOUNT OF FIRE CHURCH.
The convoy quickly took a diversion and went on with its journey. This wasn't in the news ostensibly because the General this time around did the right thing - accomodate the excess of neighbors in as much as it is not an everyday affair. NOBODY WOULD HAVE BEEN KILLED IN ZARIA HAD THE ARMY GENERAL BEHAVED THE WAY HE DID IN ABUJA SUNDAY 07/02/16
Some were even saying, had he retreated in Zaria, he would have shamed his uniform, but did he disgrace his uniform that Sunday? He is still the COAS we know. All well meaning Nigerians should by now be asking the Nigerian army whose script it acted upon when it murdered 1000+ muslim civilians in Zaria?
TRUMP UP CHARGES AGAINST BROTHERS OF THE ISLAMIC MOVEMENT IN COURT.
Yesterday a Magistrate Court that sat in Kaduna Central Prison read out some charges against the 191 brothers of the Islamic Movement that were languishing in jail for the past two months. Among the charges were illegal assembly, causing bodily harm, public disturbances and possession of firearms.The Islamic Movement objects to the way and manner the court had its first sitting in prison. The court ought to have offered the general public its reason for the unusual sitting in prison, but it did not. For the court to hide under the guise of ‘security reasons’ for it’s sitting in prison is a travesty of justice, since justice as they say, should not only be done, but seen to be done.We object to the trial becoming a secret trial because under the law, trial of the charges against the brothers of the Islamic Movement should be held in an open court where the public can witness it. What happened yesterday in Kaduna Prison is akin to a secret trial where the public was denied entry to the court proceedings. But more worrisome to us is the charge of possession of firearms labeled against the brothers. The prosecutor even said a large cache of arms was recovered from some of the brothers that had to be taken to Lagos for expert analysis. We believe this is a trumped-up charge brought up against the IMN.It is pertinent to note that had the brothers been in possession of any weapon, the story of the massacre carried out by the Army in Zaria would have been an entirely different thing. There would have been large casualties on the side of the attacking army as well but there isn't.
(1)There are enemy infiltrators on prowl, anybody that tell you he has access to weapons/explosives & will get them for you is an enemy infiltrator. Any body that insinuate Armed struggle to you is an enemy infiltrator. Report such persons quickly to the Leadership, this is very important!
The world have realized that IMN is unarmed & have no military wing, the Nigerian government & it's imperialist masters are desperate to link IMN with arms to cover their massacre of 1000+ defenseless Nigerians. They sent their agents to infiltrate the IMN to spread such ideas so that they will parade them with arms. We should be alert & be on guard on this. The #FreeZakzaky campaign is peaceful & will continue to be peaceful, that is the call of our Leader.
(2)The Nigerian government sponsored a meeting of neo - Wahhabi groups & some Islamic NGOs last Wednesday in Kaduna. One of their resolutions was to be attacking our peaceful protest to make it violent. Our Nigerian oppressors are not comfortable with our peaceful posture as that had destroyed their demonization of us as been "violent". The peaceful protest should continue but we should be on guard to these machinations.
(3)I noticed some youths sharing disfigured photoshoped images of the Nigerian tyrant, this is against the teachings of Sheikh Zakzaky. During the Charlie Hebdo incidence he strongly condemned such things. Please let's concentrate on Ideas & facts in all our campaigns. And no use of abusive words, that is not among the character of a Mu'mineen.
(4)Every trial comes with lessons, we should work hard to improve our relashionship with Allah especially in our aamals, duas & the Night prayers. And we should avoid unnecessary argument with those who show hostilities towards us, they are brainwashed & contaminated by #Wahhabism.
Shi’ite killings: The Nigerian Army as state assassins
By Abimbola Adelakun
The Nigerian Army, as a matter of urgency, needs to be restrained from prostituting military might to tyranny. Within a fortnight, the Nigerian forces have killed a number of people in circumstances that – barring a proper investigation – are describable as assassinations. During the pro-Biafran protests in the South-East, nine Nigerian citizens were reportedly killed by the Joint Military Task Force who – more or less-accused them of recalcitrance.
Typical of enraged protesters, they were said to have laid a siege to the Niger Bridge causing a traffic snarl. Up till now, nobody has, unsurprisingly, answered for their deaths.
On Saturday, the Nigerian Army attacked members of the Islamic Movement of Nigeria led by Sheik Ibrahim El-Zakzaky for blocking the road too. They also accused the group, an Islamic sect, of attempting to kill the Chief of Army Staff, Tukur Buratai. Many people are dead as a result of that attack and the Army, it seems, is trying too hard to justify the brutal force unleashed on those people.
It is with utter dismay and unfeigned consternation that I wish to succinctly albeit humbly, express my displeasure and disappointment at your constant ridiculing of your countrymen and your obvious disdain of them.
Your derogation of their personae before the international community has sadly become an embarrassing characteristic of your maladministration, and by extension exposes the insecurity and low esteem you have of yourself.
Isn't it sad, Mr President, that you cower behind the tattered cloak of blames to hide your inefficiency?
There's an adage that says that when you point a finger at someone, the remaining four fingers point back at you.
Whoever comes to equity should come with clean hands.
This rule of nature, you have failed!
Mr President, in light of your recent character defaming statement before the international community, I'm forced to remind you of your disgraceful and crime tainted antecedents.
I humbly ask Mr President, between you and I, who is a criminal?
---Who crated Umaru Dikko with the help of an Israeli anaesthesiologist and attempted to smuggle him into Nigeria, but was caught at Heathrow Airport?
---In 1984, under whose watch did the Emir of Gwandu enter into Nigeria with 53 suitcases whose contents where unknown till date, after the borders were closed?
---Who married a 9 year old as a wife?
Between us, who is a paedophile and who is guilty of child abuse?
---Why did a trustee member of PTF, Captain Usman Jibril resign under your chairmanship?
---Who gave his brother-in-law's company, Ahmed Salihijo, contract to take decisions for PTF under his chairmanship?
Who employed his relatives as PTF consultants?
---What happened to our $2.8 billion (currently valued at over N650 billion) under your watch as PTF chairman?
How did our money disappear under your watch till date?
---Can you give sound reasons for your reluctance to probe Halliburton scandal?
I assume that when you said Nigerians are criminals, that included your wife?
Could it be that you suffer selective amnesia in your anti-graft war with regards to Halliburton scandal because your wife is implicated?
---Who lied about his certificate?
Where is your certificate Mr President?
---Who had only 150 cows and N1 million, yet bought presidential form of N27 million?
---Who declared assets of only 150 cows and N1 million before elections, and after elections, declared assets of N30 million in U.B.A and a palatial home in Abuja valued at N2 billion?
---Can you give account of your stewardship and missing monies when you were NNPC chairman?
---Who declared Nigeria broke, yet budgeted billions of Naira for purchase of new vehicles for Aso Rock?
---Who declared Nigeria broke and promised economic diversification, yet signed the release of N40 billion for oil exploration in the north?
---Under whose watch did our budget go missing?
---Who presented a budget that failed integrity test in the legislative house?
Mr President, can a person of this questionable antecedents claim to be a saint?
Isn't it a shame that a person with such embarrassing and disgraceful portmanteau is a president?
What moral justification does a president with such repugnant, repulsive and abhorrent pedigree have to point fingers at regular hardworking Nigerians and call them criminals?
THE NIGERIAN GOVERNMENT SHOULD CONCENTRATE ON FIGHTING BOKOHARAM & SHOULD STOP KILLING DEFENSELESS NIGERIANS:
The trigger happy #Nigerian_Army killed 6 peaceful pro-#Biafra protesters. This is an Unnecessary escalation that will bring much harm if not checked. The Nigerian government should value the lives of all Nigerians, a government that kill its people is a rogue one. All Human lives are valuable.
Recently the Nigerian Army killed 1000+ defenseless & unarmed #Shia_Muslims in Zaria, & burnt some of them alive & buried some in mass graves. The silence of the Nigerian government to this genocide means they approved it & they are behind it.
Update From Kaduna Convict Prison As Kaduna State Government Deploy Military Forces, Take a Siege of the Prison Premises: As brothers and sisters of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria are up-to-date regarding the 185 detainees of brothers in Kaduna convict Prison, it is today, Wednesday, 10th of February, 2016, the Kaduna state Government mandated the ministry of justice to conduct judgement of the detained brothers.

WHO IS INVESTIGATING THE MASS GRAVES FOUND IN KADUNA?
AFRICA BY NEWSRESCUE FEBRUARY 9, 2016
Mass graves were reported found in Kaduna, location of the recent military action against the Islamic Movement.
On February 6th “activists” found a mass burial ground at Mando Kaduna cemetery along the Birnin Gwari road near Hajj camp, that had been ploughed by caterpillars.
They said it contained some of the bodies of movement victims that had been killed by what has been regarded as an overhanded military “honour killing” reaction.
When mass graves are found, it is a humanitarian alarm and trigger for immediate investigation. But frankly, who will investigate these mass graves when the suspected perpetrators are the State and Nigerian army?
How Nigeria’s Military Killed My 4 Children In One Night – ABU Lecturer by Jazzlite: 12:33am
Jesus Christ was killed according to the biblical narration. How did his mother take it? She left things to God. Prophets of God were killed in the past. All the children of Prophet Mohammed were killed. They referred everything to divine justice. We have overcome it. We have left everything to God
By Ben Agande
For Dr Waziri Isa Gwantu, December 13, 2015 will ever remain a dark day for the remaining days of his life. That was the day he lost four of his children— three boys and a girl; all university undergraduates during the tragic encounter between members of the Nigerian Army and the Shiites Islamic sect in Zaria. According to Nigerian security sources, while on his way to pay a courtesy visit to the Emir of Zaria, the convoy of the Chief of Army staff ran into a road block mounted by members of the Shiite sect along Sokoto road. All entreaties made to members of the sect to allow the army chief pass fell on deaf ears.
•Dr Waziri Isa Gwantu
•Dr Waziri Isa Gwantu
One thing led to the other and at the end of the encounter, over many members of the sect were reportedly killed. The army claimed that they were first attacked by members of the sect, a claim disputed by the sect who alleged that the act was premeditated by government to decimate members of the sect in the country. The kaduna state government has since set up a committee to investigate the matter.
But for Dr Waziri, no matter the outcome of the panel set up by government, the ultimate verdict on what happened and who is culpable would be determined by God on the day of judgment. When Saturday Vanguard traced him to Zaria and eventually Nassarawa state when he had gone after the ugly incidence, we found a man who was utterly devastated by the loss of four children in one fell swoop. At a point during the interview, he almost gave in to his emotions but found solace in his religion which preaches that nothing can happen to any man except it is sanctioned by God.
Narrating the events that led to the black Saturday, Dr Waziri said there was no premonition that something ominous was lurking in the corner when he drove his children to the Shiite headquarters along Sokoto road to perform the Malud ceremony on the First day of the month of the birth of prophet Muhammad.
According to him, “it was the first day of the month which our prophet, Mohammed was born so we usually organize Maulud Programme on the first day of the month. On that very day, I took my children in my car to the venue Of the Programme. But on getting to a certain point, I heard gun shots and the roads were blocked.
I asked and was told that there was a misunderstanding between the military and the Shiites. I wasn’t surprised hearing this because six months before then, our sheikh had informed us that he got security reports that the military was trying to perfect a scenario where they would tell the world that the military was attacked by the Shiites and then use that as an excuse to descend on every member of the movement.
Bearing that in mind, I decided to take the children to the Sheikh’s house thinking that would be a safe place to stay until the crisis subsided after which we would then go back for the Programme. I dropped them and went back to the house at about 5pm leaving an instruction that when the Sheikh is ready for the Programme, they should call me”.
But when the call eventually came from one of his sons at about 10pm, it was not to report that the sheikh, (El Zakzaky) was ready for the programme but that one of his sons had been shot by the army at the residence of the leader of the Shiite in Nigeria. The first instinct as a father was to rush to where his son was shot but he was told by the son that all the roads leading to the sheikh’s residence had been blocked by the army. While still weighing his options, another of his son called to informed him that the army were pointing their guns at him.
“One hour later, he called me to say he had been shot in the leg. I could hear gun shots in the back ground. At about 1 am, l got another call but this time from my daughter to inform me that she was shot on her belly. She was crying and I couldn’t go to help them because the roads leading to the residence was blocked.
“On the following day, my eldest son called to tell me that there were corpses everywhere and he was among the few surviving souls in the place. I encouraged him to keep praying and as we were talking, he informed me that they were approaching him with guns and that he isn’t sure his father will get to speak with him again . Shortly after, the line went off. He was also killed.
“The one that first called me on Saturday night told me that he was dying because of the loss of so much blood. I was devastated because I could not go to help them. I called Reverend Father Matthew Kukah to appeal to government to stop the killing in Zaria. I also called Reverend Hayap in Kaduna and reported to him what was going on” he lamented.
Reacting to the allegations that the Shiites provoked the military by first attacking them which drew the ire of the military, Dr Waziri said the allegation was meant to give a dog a bad name in order to hang it. According to him,the Shiites do not believe in violence as it is against the dictate of Islam. He wondered why people who accused the Shiites of keeping weapons were not able to produce one single victim among the security forces that were said to have been attacked.
“We don’t believe in weapons. We don’t believe in killing. We are not ISIS or Boko Haram who call themselves Sunnis” he fumed. He said what was most painful was the fact that as the only graduate in his family, he believed that he would train his children to become useful citizens that would contribute to the development of the country. He did not only lose them but he also did not have the dignity of praying for and giving them a befitting burial as they were all allegedly burnt and given mass burial by the army.
•The four children killed
•The four children killed
“What is even more painful is that after killing these children, they denied us access to their corpses so that we could pray for them and bury them appropriately. They were buried in mass graves. What offense have we committed to deserve this kind of oppression? Even Boko Haram that are known to be the worst killers in the world are not treated this way” he cried.
Though devastated by the death of his four children, Dr Waziri said he and his wife have taken solace in the fact that even prophets were killed for what they believed in. “Jesus Christ was killed according to the biblical narration. How did his mother take it? She left things to God. Prophets of God were killed in the past. All the children of Prophet Mohammed were killed. They referred everything to divine justice. We have overcome it. We have left everything to God”
And for the government and the security services, Dr Waziri have a defiant message for them: “I have fourteen children so the government still has ten more to kill. If they think that killing will kill an ideology, they are in for surprise” he said
On the 6th of February, 1997 I visited my sister Amina and I saw her on praying mat in an unusual mood.I asked her what was wrong? I categorically remembered these statements from her – “I think I’m about to have a baby, can you help me up, and tell our mother I'm about to blessed ”.
She was taken to hospital and after couple of minutes 45, 50+ I can’t remember exactly but it was not up to an hour I was told that my sister gave birth to male twins – I was so happy looking at them smiling, one will smile, later on one will cry the other will smile, one will yell and the other will sleep.
My sister was happy together with her husband and our mother, father and our maternal grandmother Dada was there singing for them “Hasan na Husaini magada Girma, Hasan na Husaini tsuntsaye masu fiffiken tashi” in Hausa language. Meaning Hasan and Husain are descendants of bravery, Hasan and Husain are birds that can fly.
I remember my father mentioned these words to Amina, my sister in English “Twice as much to love, two blessings from above”.
Today 6/02/2016 is the 19th Birthday of these beloved nephews of mine- Hasan and Husain both just stepped into University. But, I cannot see them because both of them were innocently massacred by the Nigerian Army under the command of Lt. General Y.T Burutai on the 13th of December 2015.
Lt. Col Usman Kukasheka said the COAS Burutai was blocked at Husainiyya Bakiyyatullah and at that time brothers and sisters had converged at Husaniyya to celebrate the Birthday Anniversary of our beloved Prophet Muhammad(S).
If COAS was blocked at Husainiyyah as Kukasheka stated, Allah knows the ‘behind- the- scene’ of that blockage but, Lt. Col. Usman Kukasheka, MY NEPHEWS WERE AT GYALLESU MILES AWAY FROM HUSAINIYYA BAKIYYATULLAH how comes they were massacred and burnt at Gyellesu? Was there another road blockage as well?
Happy birthday to you my massacred nephews my heart bleeds for you .
We demand Justice.
Allah will never let blood thirsty monsters to live in peace.

“Yes, they have guns and can kill people, as they have killer instinct in them. They should however know that gun does not rule. They should ponder over their continuous failures, and realize that there is a Supreme Force that rules over everything”.

cemetery along the Birnin Gwari road near Hajj camp in Kaduna state and over 1,000 Shiites Muslims of Nigeria who were allegedly massacred by the Army have been buried there.
As president Buhari Adamu keeps mute on Dalori's recent bloodbath and the twin bomb blast in Adamawa.
It is worrisome to Nigerians particularly those in the northern part of the country on how their saint is pitilessly treating them.
It was a daylight massacre just like that of Zaria a month ago, and no fewer than 80 people lost their lives during the deadly attack at Dalori village, outskirts of Maiduguri by the (so called) Boko Haram suspected terrorist.
Recently Released Video Of The #Zaria_Massacre (Burnt Sheikh Zakzaky's Residence)
Nigerians are horrified to see the latest video on #Zaria_Massacre with burnt dead bodies everywhere in the residence of the Nigerian Islamic scholar Sheikh Ibraheem #Zakzaky & the Leader of the Islamic Movement of Nigeria ( IMN ). The same massacre occurred at the Hussainiyyah (Islamic center) where the #Nigerian_Army bombed civilians with Rocket Propelled Grenades (RPG). That was why the Kaduna state Governor Elrufai quickly demolished the Hussainiyyah to destroy all evidences there.
We said it from the beginning that it was not a clash between the Shiites & the #Nigerian_Army. It was a merciless brutal massacre by the Nigerian Army against defenseless Nigerians. They killed #children, women & the aged, & they killed most of the injured. That was why they quickly bury all the corpes in mass graves to bury the evidences.
Nigerian Govt sponsoring fake Human Rights groups to bury the war crimes of the #Zaria_Massacre:
After the brutal Zaria massacre by the Nigerian Army that killed 1000+ defenseless & unarmed Nigerians, the Nigerian government via the Nigerian Army launched a campaign of Calumny & dis - information to twist the facts & demonize the peaceful Islamic Movement of Nigeria ( IMN ) under the leadership of His Eminence Sheikh Ibrahim Zakzaky. Unfortunately for them Nigerians saw through their propaganda & called for an independent & credible commission to probe the Zaria massacre.
The Nigerian government in order to deceive Nigerians again formed a kangaroo commission via the Kaduna state government that is populated by die-hard Salafis who have ShiaGenocide as a Global agenda and retired military officers who have vested interest. How can such a compromised commission that do not have a single member from the active & vocal Nigerian human rights community be just in investigating the Zaria massacre?
The Nigerian government not done with that is now sponsoring fake Human Rights groups to poisoned the minds of Nigerians & create scapegoats & distractions for the Zaria massacre. One of those fake Human rights group that was sponsored by the Nigerian government is a faceless group called "Coalition of Human Rights & pro-Democracy Based civil society organization" led by one Ibrahim Abubakar. This faceless group recently sponsored a piece calling for the Nigerian government to report Iran to the #UN & to expel the Iranian Ambassador to Nigeria Mr.Saeed Koozechi for "interfering in Nigerian internal affairs".
It is important to note that it was not only Iran that condemned the inhuman Zaria massacre by the Nigerian Army, all human rights organizations the world over strongly condemned that brutal massacre. Even the #US government that rewarded the Nigerian Army with 24 used vehicles immediately after the Zaria massacre called for independent probe to the massacre.
Iran's condemnation of the #Zaria massacre is not based on sectarian consideration, Iran has condemned similar occurances in others countries in the past. Today there is no voice stronger than #Iran in condemning the massacres of defenseless #Palestinians by the #Israeli regime. Majority of Palestinians are #Sunni Muslims.
Recently after the Saudi regime murdered the peaceful scholar & human rights campaigner, #SheikhNimr, the Saudi regime had a face-up with Iran that resulted in that regime breaking ties with Iran. The Saudi regime bribed some Banana Republics & failed states like #Somalia to break ties with Iran. This faceless group want Nigeria to follow the footsteps of these Banana Republics & break ties with Iran.
The biggest case of fraud today is not $2.1b, its $30b…
The $30 Federal budget as proposed is simply fraudulent, these is just no way else to put it.
I had written earlier about the absence of the Education budget on the website of the Budget Office, yes there is a link to the Education budget, but click on it, it takes you to the Defense Budget, so in effect the education is “missing”. Undeterred I looked at the Consolidated Budget to find the Education budget, I wish I did not.
This budget was termed and advertised as a “zero-based” budget, unfortunately, this budget is a fraud, anyone who approves or signs this budget is complicit.
Let me give you a few examples in this ‘missing” education budget, Federal Government College Garki has a cost N400,237 repeated 20 times…20 times! local transport, books, security, maintenance, etc etc etc, all the same cost for N400,237
ELRUFAI EXHIBITING HIS SALAFIST SENTIMENT AGAIN. AFTER KILLING SHIAS NOW ABUSING CHRISTIANS
CAN blasts El-Rufai over alleged comment on Jesus Christ
…urges FG, JNI to call him to order
BY JOSEPH ERUNKE
ABUJA—The Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, Wednesday, described recent statement linked to former Federal Capital Territory Minister, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, on Jesus Christ, as not only reckless but also indicative of deep-seated moral bankcruptcy.
El-Rufai had tweeted on January 28, that “if Jesus criticises Jonathan’s government, Maku, Abati or Okupe will say that he slept with Mary Magdalene”.
Addressing newsmen on the issue, CAN warned El-Rufai that “if he persists in such matters and making such divisive commentaries, he must prepare himself for a very forceful and vigorous reaction from the Church and the Christian community in Nigeria”.
Re:Abdullahi Mahadi's Memo To The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC)
My attention was drawn to a Memo by Prof.Abdullahi Mahadi, the former VC of ABU, Zaria, to the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) on the recent #Zaria_Massacre.
This is the content of the Memo:
"While I was Director Arewa House, Kaduna a team of Iranians called on me one morning in 1992 to request that I be a facilitator for their penetration of Northern Nigeria. I flatly refused. They are taking advantage of the pervasive spread of corruption and poverty in the country. They are giving poverty - stricken Nigerians money in order to convert them into Shiism. It is money rather than organizational ability of Ibrahim Al-Zakazaky to recruit people into Shiism that is swelling the population of the Shiites in Nigeria. They reinforce the crude use of money with the unlimited capacity of the Shiites to deceive, tell lies and indoctrinate. Iran is is desparately trying to establish a foothold in Africa. Ibrahim Al - Zakzaky is their willing tool and chief agent. Iran is trying to revive the power of Persian Empire of one thousand years ago on a new World stage. Iranian leaders know that Nigeria is the key to their African project. I believe Iran is pumping a lot of money into Nigeria for this reason.
Thousands of youth in Kano city, Nigeria, came out in a protest march, solidarity and call for the unconditional release of Shaikh Ibraheem Yaquob El Zakzaky (H) today, Wednesday 25th Rabiul Thani, 1437 (3/2/2016).
The protest march organized by Youths of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria started from the Old Kano city Central Mosque at around 4pm and pass through some major streets in Kano that include Kasuwar Rimi, Kofar Nasarawa, Zaria Road, Zoo road and ended at Shoprite (Former KanoTrade fair Complex).
The protesters were denouncing the atrocities of Zaria massacre on 12-14 December, 2015 of the Nigerian Army in which Shaikh Ibraheem Zakzaky (H) was injured with gun shoots as well as his wife Malama Zeenat Ibraheem and his followers, apart from the killing of armless about 1000 followers of Shaikh Zakzaky (H) in which there are 3 biological sons of his.
They called for the unconditional release of Shaikh Zakzaky (H), his
followers some of whom are their Parents, Brothers and Sisters. Also the release of those held illegally by the army and security outfits, the return of the dead bodies they have killed and compensation on all
destroyed properties.
Many onlookers sympathized with the Islamic Movement and calling for the heeding to the Islamic movement demand for justice.
The protest march ended with a closing speech of the demands of the Islamic movement on the Zaria 12-14th December, 2015 massacre, and closing prayers.
Lets proceed to #ICC on the #Zaria_Massacre:
In my opinion I think it is high time that we submit the case of the Zaria massacre to the International Criminal Court (ICC). From the antics & body languages of these Nigerian leaders I do not think they will give justice to those 1000+ defenseless Nigerians that were brutally killed by the Nigerian Army, nor will they give justice to Nigerian women who were deliberately shot in their private parts & their breasts stabbed with rifle bayonets. By deliberately targeting their reproductive organs the genocidal intention is clear.
PRESIDENT BUHARI THE VANQUISH, CITIZEN BUHARI JEGA THE VICTOR
By Abdallah Muhammad MakamaSecretary, Shi’ibi Abi Talib Islamic OrganizationJabi, Abuja.Much has been said, and much is yet to be said about the Zaria December pogrom, as is usual with events of such magnitude when most of the participants, actors and spectators are either deceased or in outmost shock, fear, incapacitation, incarceration, , and or restrictions what is only available is always less than the fraction of the real event, all or most will only be uncovered by posterity when the face value of such events has metamorphosed into history, by then it has already lost its taste, worth and importance and liable to debate, distortions and alterations. No thanks to “his Excellency” Governor Nasir El-Rufai’s sordid contribution of demolishing and defacing any available alibi that can lead to their culpability in committing the crime.You normally hear a Victor and vanquish when there are party(s) and in some situations accessory(s) whereby one party(s) triumphs or outwit the other in a battle to the attainment supremacy. But the situation of Shaheed Muhammad Bello Buhari Jega and President Muhammadu Buhari Daura is dissimilar being that Buhari Jega is an ardent and passionate supporter of Muhammadu Buhari, in which he invested his time, energy and intellect for the realization of Muhammadu Buhari’s victory at the polls.
THE JUDICIAL COMMISSION INAUGURATED BY KADUNA STATE GOVERNMENT WILL NOT BE FAIR TO US
Today the Kaduna state government of Nasiru Elrufa’i inaugurated the Judicial Commission of Inquiry into the army’s onslaught on the Islamic Movement in Nigeria last month. Before now we have written a petition against the commission and its composition, which unfortunately is not addressed by the state government.
The Islamic Movement believes the Commission looks more like an “Commission of Indictment” rather than a “Commission of Inquiry” because of the following indisputable facts:
1. Some identified members of the Commission have vested interests against the Movement in particular and the Shi’a in general. Thus, by Law, they are automatically disqualified from participating or serving in the Commission.
2. Kaduna State Government has demonstrated bias and made pre-matured conclusions against the Movement even before setting up the Commission.
3. The Nigerian Army, ably represented in the Commission too, has vested interests with the level of serious and grievous allegations of massacre, illegal detention, rape, arson and willful destruction of properties against it.
4. The Movement is not represented in the membership of the Commission.
5. The composition of the Commission has no local or international human and humanitarian rights groups.
In view of the above, the fairness, independence and impartiality of the Commission as required by Section 36 of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, the provisions of the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights Cap A9, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria, 2004 and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights are in doubt. The rules of natural justice require, inter alia, that where likelihood of bias can reasonably be inferred or discovered whether directly or indirectly from the surrounding circumstances, then fair hearing is not observed. This is because justice should not only be done but it must be manifestly and undoubtedly be seen to have been done.
Based on the above, we still insist that:
A) The Commission as constituted lacks both legal and moral standing to inquire into the “clashes” that happened between the Nigerian Army and members of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria on 12th -14th December, 2014 at Zaria for lack of fairness, independence and impartiality.
B) An independent judicial commission of inquiry with the supervisions and observation of international community be set up instead, to inquire into the Zaria incident of December 12-14th 2015.
C) The leader of the Islamic Movement, Sheikh Ibraheem Yaqoub Zakzaky should be released from custody, even as at the time of writing this statement neither his family nor lawyers have met him wherever he is being detained.
SIGNED BY
IBRAHIM MUSA
President of the Media Forum of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria
Iran's Ambassador to Nigeria Saeed Kouzechi urged Abuja to release Leader of the Islamic Movement of Nigeria Sheikh Ibraheem Zakzaky, terming his detention as illegal and unfair.
Iran says Sheikh Zakzaky's detention is not in consonance with the Nigerian constitution, noting that his release would heal the wounds and damage inflicted on his followers, according to the Nigerian daily Punch.
Speaking to reporters in Abuja on Tuesday, Kouzechi said the Nigerian government should compensate for the damage on those who suffered losses during the bloody clash between the Shiite movement followers and the Army in Zaria, Kaduna State.
He described the Islamic Movement of Nigeria as a peaceful religious group that has no connection to extremism, while calling for a probe into the incident as well as fair prosecution of those involved.
“The Shiite is a small minority group in Nigeria. They engage in peaceful religious activities and they are not harmful to anyone. We have never heard of unrest and extremism from the Shiite followers in Nigeria," Kouzechi said.
“The Zaria incident is unfortunate and regrettable. We hope the investigation and prosecution will be fair and transparent. We hope the government will assist those who suffered financial losses in the incident," he added.
“We don’t believe the continued detention of Zakzaky is legal or fair, he shouldn’t be kept for long. We look forward to seeing his release and his wife soon. The Shiites are Nigerians too and they have rights like other citizens. The government shouldnt not pour fuel on fire. Recognizing the rights of minorities is kewy to social development,” Kouzechi said.
In relevant remarks earlier this month, Badia Ibraheem Zakzaky, daughter of Sheikh Zakzaky, expressed deep concern about her parents' fate after they were wounded and detained by the army last December.
"I don’t have any news on the fate and health conditions of my parents after the Zaria disaster," Badia said, adding that the fate of nearly 800 people of the Zaria region who were killed or arrested by the army forces is still unknown.
The army attacked two religious centers of the country's Shiite community on December 12, killing hundreds of defenseless civilians. Later on December 13, the military arrested Sheikh Zakzaky and his wife after raiding thier house and killing three of his sons, assistants and followers.
Members of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria have demanded setting up of a judicial commission of inquiry to probe the killings of their colleagues in Zaria on December 12 and 13, during a meeting with House of Representatives panel.
Thye have also demanded the unconditional release of their leader Sheikh Zakzaky and his wife.

As usual, since the Zaria massacre, I used to send messages to our brothers and sisters, so today, I would like to use this opportunity to once again condole with all the people who have fallen victim to this barbaric crime committed by the Nigerian army, that has affected hundreds of families, and continues to do so to this day.
May God accept the dead as martyrs, give them strength and perseverance, and a speedy recovery to the injured.
I would also like to thank the large number of people in their millions around the world who have not only shown sympathy and kindness but also acted in numerous ways in support of our plight.
I would however like to draw the attention of the members of the Islamic movement to certain important issues regarding the current adversity we are going through, there is need for all of us to excercise caution when it comes to our utterances and actions, when it comes to spreading our messages on social media. There are certain salient issues that require a great deal of introspection. We should not under any circumstance spread messages that are capable of flaming the embers of violence in the society. It is imperative to weigh in the impacts of what one is about to write even if the message is relevant to our activism, as every member movement must realize that he is a defacto ambassador of the movement to the world.
This means that every thing we choose to write can and would most likely be taken as the opinion of the millions of our brothers and sisters, rather than the emotional out burst of a single person. And could be twisted by the enemies who are more than happy to perpetuate the negative light in which they our enemies are trying to paint us.
I would like to therefore reiterate that the Islamic Movement in Nigeria is a nonviolent movement, whose message is one of change for the better. We should under no circumstances be found resorting to spreading messages of hatred or intolerance.

S/W Shi’ite members ask FG for ElZakzaky’s unconditional release, compensation for the slain

S/W Shi’ite members ask FG for ElZakzaky’s unconditional release, compensation for the slain
By; Bayo Akamo, Ibadan.
Members of the Islamic Movement In Nigeria, under the umbrella of Shi’ite Movement in the South West Nigeria has asked the Federal Government to release Mallam Ibrahim Elzakzaky without any condition attached.
The Shit’te members at a press conference in Ibadan, through their spokesperson and the South West Coordinator, , Mallam Muftau Zakariyah also demanded compensation for all the 2,000 Shi’ite members who were allegedly massacred during a clash with the military in Zaria recently as well as all the movement’s property that were destroyed.
According to Mallam Zakariyah, Shi’tte members “are innocent of all the allegations by the military,” saying, ”COAS is our servant, he has no right to order the killing of our followers. We demand formal apology from the Nigerian Army. We demand Payment for all movement property that has been destroyed”.
Addressing the media amidst shouts of “Allahu Akbar” from the Shi’ite members from across the South west states that stormed Ibadan for the press conference, Zakariyah declared that his followers numbering millions
all over the country were not ready for any violence.
“We demand that Mallam Zakzaky be released unconditionally. We demand payment for all movement property that has been destroyed. We demand compensation for all two thousand that have been killed. We demand formal apology from the Nigerian army. Today it is Zakzaky, who will it be tomorrow? This is the time to speak out,” he said.
Describing the military action on Shi’ite members as unjust, inhuman and crime against humanity, he alleged the Nigerian Army of being “the
prosecutor, the jury and the executioner”. He said the composition of the panel set up by the Kaduna state government on the matter was faulty,
saying, the likes of Chief Femi Falana, Professor Ishaq Akintola of the
Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) and other human rights should have
been included for the panel to attract any credibility.
Keep making noise, please don't stop. Your nuisance is of paramount importance. Nevertheless, the noise you are busy making will only propagate the cause of the Islamic movement in Nigeria. Many more will understand us and accept the ideology. Say it aloud again, we are not a sect members, call us the Islamic movement in Nigeria, period!
For your information, this conspiracy has two dimensions with two contending interests. The west interest is to crush anything with freedom struggle or anti-Israeli movement without any other consideration. While for the Saudi Wahabi regime, they are against shi'ah as a sect. The two giants share something in common, Islamic movement as a target.
You are busy shouting, seeking for Nigerian government’s recognition. While the fact is that Nigerian government is just a stooge serving the interest of Saudi Arabia, and Israelis puppet on the other hand.
Every Nigerian is a target in this case. No matter hard you try to clean yourself, they will never allow you to live peacefully. The west needs our wealth and resources. And by that, it means we must play the role of slaves. It is not a sectarian problem.
Continue praying for them to crush us, when they are done with us, get ready for your turn. And believe me you; it wouldn't be favourable when it comes to you, because it is coming with thousands of surprises.
For the hearts that shows sympathy, thank you very much. May Allah reward you all and ease all calamities of this nature on you.
But for the jubilating Wahabi sect members, western arrogant are not your type. They have a ready-made plan for you and it is very crude. Get a piece of paper and write it down, I'm the source.
And for the shi'ittes noise makers, you will never get a place as the enemy friends. The Wahabi's wouldn't accept you, unless if you convert to Wahabism and Takfiri ideology. Spend hundreds of hours making unnecessary noise in the Radio stations and television, it will change nothing. And that will never dent the image of the Islamic movement in Nigeria.
You will die with your jealousy. I pray for the noisemakers to live long and see the outcomes of their nuisance. Sheikh Zakzaky will be released as a hero, the only standing and trusted leader. You will witness how million more will pay allegiance to him, for he is the only solution to the problems of Nigeria.
Keep making noise, please don't stop. Your nuisance is of paramount importance. Nevertheless, the noise you are busy making will only propagate the cause of the Islamic movement in Nigeria. Many more will understand us and accept the ideology. Say it aloud again, we are not a sect members, call us the Islamic movement in Nigeria, period!
The Nigerian Army shot sisters of IMN in their most private parts & stabbed them in their breasts with bayonets in the Zaria massacre:
I went to Zaria to be interviewed by a Journalist from a major daily Nigerian Newspaper about the Zaria massacre. Before I arrived the Journalist was taken to the Ahmadu Bello University Teaching Hospital, Zaria, where some injured victims of the brutal Zaria massacre by the Nigerian Army are recuperating.
Wahhabism is the ideology that inspired all murderous terrorism in the name of Islam. All Wahhabis have terrorist tendencies, the only difference is that the degree of this tendencies differ from one level to another. If you remove Wahhabi teachings from Sunni Islam there will no terrorism in the name of Islam. The Wahhabi contamination of Sunni Islam is the root cause and source of the murderous terrorism that we see today.
It is Wahhabism that legalised the blood of the innocent and encourage massacres and mass killings of civilians. There is no inclination in Islam that will inspire heavily-armed terrorists to go to a university and kill innocent students and their teachers except Wahhabism.
This is the main reason why Western imperialism and Global Zionism are closely allied to the Saudi regime that promote Wahhabism among Sunni Muslims. Wahhabism does all the dirty jobs for the New World Order, from been the incubator for producing bloodthirsty murderous terrorists to causing hate and division among Muslims.
Remove Wahhabism from Sunni Islam & there will be no terrorism in the name of Islam, to simply put it.
We are the Members of the Academic Forum of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria under the leadership of Sheikh Ibrahim Yaqub Zakzaky (H). We are here today in front of your Headquarters in Abuja on this day 19th January 2016, on the occasion of commemorating the 40th day of the genocide that took place in Zaria on the 12th and 13th December 2015 which led to massacre of over 1000 of our brothers and sisters.
Press TV has interviewed Kevin Barrett, editor of Veterans Today in Madison, to discuss the deadly attacks by Nigerian forces against Shia Muslims in the northern city of Zaria last month.
The following is a rough transcription of the interview.
Press TV: What part of the massacre that took place last month with so many people being killed at the hands of the Nigerian army, what part of it do you think was appropriate as the Nigerian army chief put it?
They attack hotels and universities all over the world and call it a religious duty worthy of emulation. Yet they hold a lopsided view that the trouble that rocks Islam nowadays is not their terrorist activities but Shias.
.
They bomb mosques and churches, they displace thousands of people yearly, they kidnapp hapless women and children and indoctrinate them into suicide bombings which kill in droves, maim in scores and destroy in magnitude, yet they blame Shias for the current rise in terrorism.
.
They rape and enslave women after they slaughter their husbands, they deny women of right to any form of education, they deprive them of right to drive cars, they think women are solely created to satiate their sexual appetite. Yet they blame Shias for giving Islam a bad image.
.
Their mosques are a cesspit of radicalism, their preachings are laced with hatred, their followers' minds are programmed to hate whoever disagrees with their version of Islam, they hate Christians and Shias to the extent that they wish them deaths and suffering for eternity. Yet they think Shias are causative factors of the problems that surround Islam.
.
They create states within states. They seized a large swath of land in Syria and turn into the most hellish place to live on earth. They once seized Afghanistan and made it the most dangerous place on earth for women. They seized part of Iraq and turn it into a purgatory where dead bodies pile up the streets, where thousands of people are massacred and buried in mass graves. They once seized northern Mali and embarked upon the destruction of shrines and antique edifices. They once seized part of northern Nigeria and banned any form of Western education and they are currently terrorising Somalia, Libya, Egypt, Pakistan and Kenya all in the name of Islam, the religion of peace. But despite the dirty manifestations of their dreaded creed, despite the universal hatred their ideology has incurred to Islam, they still think Shias are the problems.
The First Revelation to Prophet Muhammad (sa) was: "Read by the name of your Lord" (96:1). This means the first word of Revelation was "Read". This shows the importance Islam attach to knowledge and education.
But unfortunately today the Wahhabi contamination of Sunni Islam have produced murderous terrorists who attacked Universities and schools killing students and their teachers and chanting "Allahu Akbar"!
Today Muslims are the most backward nations among all communities, in Nigeria more than 80% of children out of school are Muslims from Northern Nigeria. And more than 50% of children out of school in the world are Muslims from Northern Nigeria.
Yet we have bloodthirsty savages who kill people for going to schools. They want darkness and ignorance to continue as knowledge is light and progress.
Calling together all brothers and sisters who are interacting with social Networks to a single platform in order to conform with the accepted ideology of the movement in spreading the message of the movement through the internet.
