Lawyers to the detained leader of the Islamic Movement of Nigeria, Ibraheem El-Zakzaky, have attributed their absence at a Judicial Commission of Inquiry instituted by the Kaduna State government to the commission’s inability to facilitate access to their client.
In a statement Monday signed by Festus Okoye on behalf of Mr. El-Zakzaky’s legal team, the lawyers said the Kaduna State government had already made up its mind to frame charges of culpable homicide, rioting, unlawful assembly, possession of charms and unlawful restraint against 251 members of the Islamic Movement of Nigeria.
Governor Nasir El-Rufai, in January, set up a judicial commission of inquiry to probe a violent clash between the Islamic Movement in Nigeria and the Nigerian army one month earlier.
The clash left hundreds of members of the shi’ite sect dead and many more injured, while over 250 were clamped in detention, including their leader, Mr. El-Zakzaky.
On Friday, the Commission submitted its findings to Mr. El-Rufai, without the Islamic group’s participation.
In their statement, Mr. Okoye said it was disingenuous for the Commission’s chairman, Mohammed Garba, to claim he was not aware of the reasons for their withdrawal from further participation in the commission’s proceedings.
On the 8th and 9th of March this year, according to Mr. Okoye, the lawyers met with the Inspector General of Police and Director General of the Department of State Services for authorization to enable Mr. El-Zakzaky attend proceedings.
By March 14, and with the lawyers still denied access to their client, the Commission issued a statement noting that the Islamic group “has been represented by Counsel and is satisfied that the said Counsel has been properly briefed by the IMN to appear before us,” Mr. Okoye said.
The statement further noted that the legal team did not have the locus to give evidence on behalf of a client it did not have access to.
“The Legal Team of the Islamic Movement (IMN) on the instructions of the Leader of the Islamic Movement has since activated other constitutional and legal avenues of redress and will continue to use the instrumentality of the law to see that justice is done and that due process and the rule of law continues to be the guiding principle of our democracy.”

By Abdulmumin Giwa
The case between Sheikh Ibraheem Zakzaky and the State Security Service SSS, Nigerian Police and the Attorney General of Federation slated for hearing today at the Federal High Court in Abuja has further been shifted to 20th of Septembers 2016 by the court.
Addressing the court, the Court 6 judge, Justice Kolwale said the that he fixed today for hearing in the case base on an earlier assumption that the end of legal year vacation will commence on the 15th of July but was later changed to 11th of July.
Counsel to Sheikh Zakzaky headed by Femi Falana SAN asked for a date to be fixed for hearing within the vacation period to which the Judge declined saying he could only fix a date with the consent of both parties in the case and the defense counsel is absent.
Responding to questions from newsmen after the session Falana stated that there is no such thing as out of court settlement and called for the immediate and unconditional release of his client.
He stated that his client was attacked by the Army in his residence, killed three of his sons, shot him and his wife severally, burned down his house and took him away asking what is there to be settled?
A similar procedure was adopted for the case of the wife of the leader of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria IMN, Malama Zeenat Ibrahim versus the same defendants for which the same date was fixed for hearing.
FREE SHAIKH ZAKZAKY (H) MASS RALLY HELD IN KANO
Thousands have attended the mass #Free Shaikh Zakzaky (H)# rally on 15th July, 2016 at Fagge Friday prayer mosque in central Kano city, Nigeria.
Participants held #Free Shaikh Zakzaky# posters and chanting various Free Zakzaky slogans and poem and Mal Sunusi AbdulKadir Koki was the guest speaker at the occasion.
In his speech Mal Sunusi reviewed the atrocities of the Nigerian led
Government on Shaikh Ibraheem Zakzaky (H) and his followers in the last Zaria 12th-14th December, 2015 killing 1000+ with about 200 held in various prisons custody. He also narrated the History of Nierian Army brutality on the Nigerian Citizens from the beginings of their establishment as they were trained their Colonial Masters.
The Holy Qur’an and historical records has narrated the various
atrocities of rulers during the life time of Prophets, the last being
during the live time of our Noble Prophet and even during the live
time of his Khalifa which till today we are witness of the present day atrocities stated Mal Sunusi. He reassured victory belongs to the righteous believers who he encouraged to remain steadfast.
Mal Sunusi also voiced out the followers of Shaikh Zakzaky (H) shall remain resolute and fight for justice within various legal means amongst which include prayers to the only Creator worthy of worship, conductance’s of various peaceful protest march and rallies, and also judicial means.
He again voiced out that followers will continue to uphold various
Islamic activities that they are known to hold and remain resolute and stand firm.
He reminded those in authority to remember every human being shall account for what he has done in this world and forms of atrocities and justice will never go unaccounted for. He still reecho the call #Free Zakzaky (H)# unconditionally.
#JUDICIALCOMMISSIONOFINQUIRY
One of the complainants that appeared on the floor was Dr. Khalid Secretary General of Jama'atu Nasril Islam and in his complaints he presented a picture advancing that members of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria do not recognize the government of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and in proving his point he pointed to a Photo of the members of the Islamic Movement in procession on annual Quds Day carrying various banners condemning the Zionist who occupied the state of Palestine and even carrying the Flag of Palestine to show there solidarity with the people of Palestine; but the Dr. claimed that it is the "Flag of Iran", they recognize Iran only;. although everybody in the commission was seeing it vividly!
Evidently many were ashamed of this gesture by PhD Holder and a Secretary General of Jamaatu Nasril Islam(!?)!
It is very penitent to see even the elites amongst the enemies of IMN; cannot differentiate the flag of Palestine from the flag of Iran!???!!??
What more of there common uneducated followers, fanatics and local thugs!?!?!?
#JUDIIALCOMMISSIONOFINQUIRY
Colonel Sani Kuka Sheka claimed that the soldiers of the Nigerian Army didn't kill any one in Zaria on 12-14 December, 2015, and when he was shown pictures showing multiple number of dead bodies laid by the roadside , on the brink of a gutter in gyallesu quarters, just by the residence of Sheikh Ibrahim Zakzaky(H) before demolition; colonel Kuka Sheka replied that all these deaths was as result of stampede not from a gun fired by Nigerian Army(!?)
A LIAR HAS A SHORT MEMORY
Fortunately or Unfortunately ; Lt. Genral T. Y. Buratai the CoAS, claimed that they killed only 7 Shi'ites" when NHRC summoned him to it's office in February; even then the officers of the commission requested that where are the corpses of the 7 Shiites you claimed to have killed? ,the CoAS stood there dumbfounded (!?)!
Nigerians should pay back to Sheikh Zakzaky
By Abdulmumin Giwa
How would you rate Nigerian leaders with the following:
With the level of loyalty and obedience to the leadership of Sheikh Ibraheem Zakzaky, Nigeria is seen to be saved from a turmoil that would have sent millions to refugee camps in neighboring countries.
Imagine the level of oppression and tyranny meted on the Leader of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria, his family and followers, killing, torturing, raping, burning alive, burying in mass graves, demolition of properties and illegal detention, and yet in his absence and incommunicado, they remained obedient and focused on their leader's non-violent policy.
What would have happened if they acted the other way and decide to die, would Nigeria be the same today? Definitely no, because even the foolish Nigerian leaders that perpetrated the crime against humanity would be seeking shelter abroad after destroying the country with their unpatriotic actions.
This is indeed worthy of commendation, Hail Zakzaky!, Hail Zakzaky! Hail Zakzaky! Because, with all the madness, brutality and incivility displayed by Nigerian government and its Army, members of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria have refused to be instigated into violence despite all efforts by the government and its Army to engage them. i wonder how irresponsible a government would be to want to instigate its citizens into violence by all means to satisfy some foreign interests?
What would have Nigeria turned into by now if the followers of Sheikh Zakzaky were not as obedient and loyal to him? Definitely those that claimed Nigeria would become ungovernable would have succeed, their dream would have been fulfilled.
But thanks to Sheikh Zakzaky who has the people at heart and could swallow all atrocities to save their lives and provide them with hope and a better future for their children and their children's children.
Definitely, this Saint of a man, Sheikh Ibraheem Zakzaky deserves beyond a standing ovation and a bow form Nigerians. He deserves their loyalty and obedience.
There is no point of comparison between him and the traitors, deceivers and liars called Nigerian leaders because his patriotism, love and care for Nigeria and Nigerians is incomparable.
Nigeria and Nigerians deserve better leadership and God Almighty has pointed at Sheikh Zakzaky for them, if they but knew.

#Zaria_Massacre:Decision by #IMN to boycott the kangaroo commission right & correct:
The kangaroo Judicial Commission of Inquiry that was set up by the Kaduna state government to investigate the brutal #Zaria_Massacre started its sitting today without participation of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria ( IMN ). The IMN had decided to boycott that kangaroo commission that was created to justify the Brutal slaughter of 1000 defenseless & unarmed Nigerians in Zaria by the Nigerian Army.
It is important to note that those who masterminded and executed the brutal slaughter of 1000 men, women, #children and the aged in Zaria are the same people who created and constituted that kangaroo commission. Where in the world has a murderer preside over his own case of murder! These wicked and evil people murdered 1000 defenseless & unarmed Nigerian civilians and they now want to preside over the case!!!!
The IMN will only participate in a credible, independent and impartial Commission that is populated by credible Nigerians and Human Rights activists. But the kangaroo commission that is populated by die-hard Wahhabis who have #ShiaGenocide as a Global agenda and retired military officers who have vested interest to protect their compromised institution with never do justice to the victims of the Zaria massacre.
The media aid to the leading opposition party in Nigeria recently in a Tweet described the Nigerian President #Buhari as an Animal for boasting on National Television of killing 1000 defenseless & unarmed Shia Muslims. To my understanding that is an understament, the masterminds and executors of the brutal Zaria massacre are worst than Animals. To equate these bloodthirsty war criminals with Animals is a degradation of the position of Animals as creatures created by God.
The silence of the so-called international community to the brutal slaughter of 1000 civilians in just two days is a big shame to the cause of humanity, justice and human rights. Yet these Western powers that arroganted to themselves the position of “international community” layed claim to be the flagbearers of #Human_Rights. Which violations of human rights is worst than for a wicked and inhuman bloodthirsty tyrant to unleashed heavily-armed soldiers on defenseless & unarmed civilians?
But we are students of history and the Truth of the brutal #Zaria_Massacre will be unmasked one day for all to see. And the mass graves where the Nigerian tyrant buried the victims of the Zaria massacre will be unearth and the remains of the Martyrs return to their families for proper Islamic burial.

Falana to DSS: Release Zakzaky within 24 hours
By Joseph Jibueze,
Activist-lawyer Femi Falana (SAN) has demanded the unconditional release of leader of the Islamic Movement of Nigeria (IMN) Sheik Ibraheem Zakzaky and his wife, Hajia Zeenat Ibraheem from unlawful detention.
In an April 5 letter to the Director-General, Department of State Services (DSS), Falana said his clients were denied access to their family and doctors since their arrest.
Falana said last December 12, thousands of armed soldiers allegedly unleashed violent attacks on IMN members in Zaria, Kaduna State on the orders of the Chief of Army Staff, General Tukur Buratai who claimed that the unarmed civilians wanted to assassinate him.
The lawyer said although his clients were not at the scene of the attack, the rampaging troops invaded their residence at Wali Street, Zaria last December 14.
“The troops set the building ablaze and killed three of our clients’ children in their presence and thereby subjected them to untold mental agony.
“Thereafter, the armed soldiers shot our clients several times. As a result of the brutal attack Sheik Zakzaky lost his left eye while doctors are currently battling to save the right one.
“While in custody, both of them have gone through many surgical operations to extract bullets from their bodies,” Falana wrote.
To compound the physical pain and mental anguish his clients were subject to, Falana said the police and the DSS have held them incommunicado for over three months.
He recalled that during a similar attack in 2014 allegedly by a detachment of the Army, three of Zakzaky’s children were also killed without any lawful justification.
Falana said the report of the fact finding Commission of Enquiry set up by the government was yet to be released, while the military personnel who allegedly killed his clients’ children and other unarmed civilians have not been brought to justice.
Some of the victims who survived the deadly attacks, Falana said, have been charged with culpable homicide and sundry offences by the Kaduna State Government.
“Notwithstanding that such criminal charges are pending at the Kaduna High Court, the Kaduna State Government has set up a judicial Commission of Enquiry to investigate the same subject matter.
“Even though our clients have not been told that they breached any law, they have been denied access to their lawyers, personal physicians and family members for over three months.
“Our clients were only permitted to meet with us last Friday after several requests made by us had been turned without any legal basis.
“In the light of the foregoing, our clients and members of the IMN have resolved not to participate in the proceedings of the said Judicial Commission of Enquiry in any manner whatsoever and howsoever.
“Finally, we hereby demand for the immediate and unconditional release of our clients from illegal detention within 24 hours of the receipt of this letter,” Falana said.

Press statement
WE REJECT ANY KIDNAP IN OUR NAME
Our attention has been drawn to a false, unsubstantiated and mischievous claim, that looks more like a planned operation aimed at painting the Islamic Movement in Nigeria (IMN) black, of some “intelligence” report that the IMN may plan kidnap of military officers for ransom for the release of our revered leader, His Eminence Sheikh Ibraheem Zakzaky.
Typically, this was followed by the alleged kidnap of an Army officer in Kaduna with the Nigerian Army issuing statement calling on the public to give information that would lead to the arrest of the perpetrators. Soon, some media outlets were quick to quote these malicious sources linking the IMN with the alleged kidnap.
It is obvious that the government and its Army are going further with their plans of campaign of calumny and false propaganda against the Movement ranging from smear documentaries on Television networks, advertorials in daily newspapers, sponsoring fake non-governmental organizations and engagement of some very dubious characters to malign the IMN and its leadership, to engaging in organized crimes and attributing same to the Movement.
We wish to categorically state here that the Islamic Movement in Nigeria under the leadership of His Eminence, Sheikh Ibraheem Zakzaky has never, is not and will never engage in any form of crime to meet any of its objectives. Crime and criminal activities are fundamentally sinful and are not in our character.
The Islamic Movement knows that due to official administrative ineptitude and official negligence of constituted authority, a lot of crimes including kidnapping are prevalent in the country. As a religious body, the IMN condemns and preaches against all forms of crime. Therefore, it is virtually illogical and unreasonable for anyone to presume that the IMN would turn around to engage in such acts of immorality. The IMN is a peaceful mass Movement, with enlightened and responsible members. For close to four decades now, it has conducted its activities in the most civilized manner and cannot in any way be derailed from that golden track record. IMN will therefore never be lured or diverted into any form of crime or violence.
We are forced to believe that the government and its Army are resorting to these vicious campaigns in desperation. They wish not only to bury their crimes against humanity, but also to justify the bestiality they meted on the innocent unarmed members of the Movement between 12th and 14th of December 2015, including burning IMN members alive, sexual mutilation and harassment of women, as well as abduction and illegal detention of members including the leader of the Movement, besides killing over 1000 unarmed citizens.
IMN has followed due processes in dealing with this injustice by the government on its members and leader. It is pertinent to reiterate that this will be sustained. This peaceful campaign for justice and fairness using lawful means of seeking redress will not be distracted. This should be clear from the way IMN handled the Commission of Inquiry set up by the Kaduna state government, making things public at every stage. The same can be said in the way it took its campaign and case before the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague.
Finally, we would like to use this platform to echo our call on the government and its Army to own up to their crimes and release the revered leader of the Movement Sheikh Ibraheem Zakzaky and other members unconditionally.

GEN. BURATAI OUGHT TO HAVE BEEN RETIRED SINCE JANUARY!
By Emeka Umeagbalasi, Board Chairman International Society for Civil Liberties & the Rule of Law
Mobile Line: +2348174090052
Lt Gen Turkur Buratai (COAS) was born on 24th of November 1960 at Buratai town in Biu Local Government Area of Borno State. He was enlisted into the Nigerian Army via the Nigerian Defense Academy on 3rd of January 1981 as a member of 29 Regular Combatant Course 29 (29 RC) where he obtained a National Certificate in Education (NCE). He became a Second Lieutenant on 17th of December 1983 after. By Nigeria’s Public Service Rule (2008:28-29), the compulsory retirement age for all grades in the service shall be 60 years or 35 years of pensionable service whichever is earlier. The Rule further states that no officer shall be allowed to remain in service after attaining the retirement age of 60 years of punishable service whichever is earlier and that provision of (i) and (ii) of the rule is without prejudice to prevailing requirements for judicial officers and academic staffs of universities who retire at 70 and 65 years respectively.
Going by this rule, Lt Gen Turkur Buratai ought to have retired on 3rd of January 2016 on completion of 35 years of service. Generally, the minimum age for enlisting into the Nigerian Armed Forces is put at 18 years old for voluntary service and at 60 years or after putting in 35 years of service according to the Federal Civil Service Rule. In other countries, such as the United States, military officers are expected to put a minimum of 20 years of service and a maximum of 30 years, according to the department of defense directive. An officer can be enlisted in the force at the age of 17. In Britain, officers are enlisted into the force at the age of 16 and are expected to put in at least 18 years of service. In Africa, Ghana enlists officers at the age of 18 and retires officers at 50 years while in South Africa, officers stay in active service until they are 60 years and could be enlisted at the age of 18 (Source: Vanguard, December 28, 2012).
However, there is the Harmonized Terms and Condition of Services Officers (HTACOS), 2012 (Revised). HTACOS was intended to make retirement age in the military (army, navy and air force) different from other personnel or public servants of the Federal Government. The HTACOS was also meant to scrap the years of service of 35 years of service and fully embraced the age on rank bracket. This means that as long as officers and men of the Nigerian military pass the necessary promotion board examinations, they would not be retired just because they have served 35 years. But that will now depend on their Run- Out -Date (ROD). But the HTACOS was further designed to start with the 36th Course (C36) and their equivalents and above. The 36th Course members were the first set to start full degree programs at the Nigerian Defence Academy (NDA). Before then, Courses 1 to 35 (including Lt Gen Buratai’s Course 29) studied and graduated with the National Certificate in Education (NCE) from the NDA. This means that while Course 36 and above will benefit from all the provisions of the HTACOS, their seniors, Courses 1 to 35, will not have the full benefits. Course 17 is the oldest still in service (source: Guardian, October 8, 2012).
From the foregoing analysis, Lt Gen Turkur Buratai having been excluded from HTACOS of 2012 on account of his belonging to Course 29 of NDA; ought to have been retired statutorily since 3rd of January 2016 after attaining the mandatory 35 years of service in the Nigerian Army having been enlisted into the Nigerian Army as a cadet officer on 3rd of January 1981. We are fully aware that the Buhari administration’s affront to rule of law and due process has risen to an apogee and may most likely continue in the case of the COAS; by retaining him against the laws of the land as he has always done. But we want to put it on record and consciousness of all Nigerians and members of the international community and Lt Gen Turkur Buratai himself that the end of his dark era is speedily nearing when he will inescapably answer for his “regime atrocities” (killing of 705 Shiite and over 80 IPOB activists, among others, in conjunction with retiring IGP Solomon Arase). That is to say that someday soonest, he will hang his khaki and join the civil populace.
It is true that the Federation of Nigeria is still paying billions of naira compensations from international court verdicts for Obasanjo’s atrocities in Odi and Zakibiam in early 2000s, but himself and those he ordered to commit such crimes against humanity somehow walk freely till date because some international mechanisms now in place such as ICC and UN special crimes courts were yet to be in force them. The ICC Statute, for instance, came into force 1st July 2002; two years after the Odi and Zakibiam massacres and it does not have retroactive criminal jurisdictions. The worst retirement life is that under which the retiree cocoons himself or herself and sneaks in and out of countries and places where he or she visits because of monumental “regime atrocities” committed while in office. Regional and international fugitiveness or criminal indictment or pursuit to account for atrocity crimes is worse than criminal conviction and sentencing. The fate of the likes of Omar Hassan El-Bashir of Sudan and his atrocious “Janjaweed” commander (Sheik Musa Hilal) in Darfur and his Minister in charge of Humanitarian Affairs & Darfur (Ahmad Muhammad Harun) is a clear case in point.
I dont know the exact word i should use to describe the attitude of Nigerian Salafists. When their soldiers Massacred us, they rose in jubilation and elation. When we said we were treated unjustly, they said what was done to us was justified, bringing various spurious arguments in the process. When they set up a kangaroo committee filling it with die hard salafists as a Jury, we argued that such a gathering would never do justice to us, since the very Governor who set up the commission is complicit and participant in massacring us. He buldozed all the buildings including the cemetary belonging to us, and ordered fire to be opened upon peaceful demonstration demanding the release of our leader. How can this hypocrite set up a commission which would indict him? But they insisted we have to attend. We said to them, we agreed to attend predicated upon letting our lawyers seeing our leader for consultation, since He is the one representing us all. They said they will make sure that the lawyers are permitted to see our leader. 5 times the lawyers tried to see him, 5 times the Salafists went back on their words. Consequently, we reached a decision to pull out of this charade, for charade it is, without even the subtlety to conceal it. We took our case to the ICC through a human right group, all of a sudden, the Salafi government and its supporters are hollaring and bleating that we are wrong to do that. With some fanatics even saying we have acted treasonably. It came to light then that a vicious circle is being woven against us. They want to wipe us off, and also force us to both help them and thank them for it. This, indeed, is a thing of astounding proportion. On Allah we rely in Him we trust and submit our affairs.
PRESS CONFERENCE BY LAWYERS OF THE IMN
APPEARANCE AND REPRESANTATION OF THE ISLAMIC MOVMENT (IMN) IN NIGERIA BEFORE THE JUDICIAL COMMISSION OF INQUIRY
Introduction
We are constrained to address this press conference to correct impressions, misrepresentations, distortions and misunderstanding relating to our role in representing the leader of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria and the Islamic Movement in Judicial Commission of Inquiry set up by the Kaduna State Government. We also consider it imperative to put issues in their proper context and perspective and allow the Nigerian people to be the sole determinants of the issues in contention. This we consider as imperative considering insinuations and misrepresentations of our position relating to our appearance for the Islamic Movement in Nigeria and Sheik Ibraheem Zakzaky before the Judicial Commission of Inquiry.
Zaria between the 12th and 14th December 2015
It is now a matter of common knowledge that between Saturday 12th and Monday 14th December 2015 there were clashes between the Nigerian Military and the Islamic Movement in Nigeria. This resulted in deaths, maiming, and destruction of properties of the members of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria. Between the 12th and 14th day of December 2016, the Nigerian Military laid siege in the house of the leader of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria Sheikh Ibraheem Zakzaky. He and his wife Zeenat were shot severally and they sustained severe and life threatening injuries. Subsequently, the Nigerian Army informed the Nigerian public that they took both of them into custody. The Nigerian Army later informed the Nigerian people that the leader of the Islamic Movement and the wife have been handed over to the Nigerian Police Force.
The Judicial Commission of Inquiry.
Presumably, as a result of the events that took place in Zaria between the 12th and 14th December 2015, the Kaduna State Government inaugurated a Judicial Commission of Inquiry on the 29th day of January 2016 with 13 terms of reference and headed by a Justice of the Court of Appeal.
Our Appearance before the Judicial Commission
On the 2nd day of February 2016, the Judicial Commission of Inquiry established by the Kaduna State Government informed the Islamic Movement in Nigeria that it would hold its Public Sitting on Monday, 22nd February, 2016. The Commission invited the Islamic Movement in Nigeria to submit written Memorandum/da(both in soft and hard copies) on the terms of reference given to the Commission. The Islamic Movement in Nigeria received the said letter on the 5th day of February 2016.
On the 8th day of February 2016 the letter was referred to the Legal Team of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria and we wrote to the Inspector General of Police intimating him of the fact that “the Islamic Movement in Nigeria is insisting that it must get the express permission and authorization of its leader Sheik Ibrahim Zak Zaky before it will take a decision on whether to appear before the Judicial Commission of Inquiry. This is in view of the fact that Sheik Ibrahim Zak Zaky 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.”
In the said letter we also informed the Inspector General of Police that “considering the magnitude of the events that took place in Zaria between the 12th and 14th day of December 2016 and the subsequent events in Kaduna State, the members of the Islamic Movement in 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”
On the 8th day of February 2016 we met with the Inspector General of Police and on the 8th and 9th day of February 2016 we met with the Director General of the Department of State Services that were said to have custody of the leader of the Islamic Movement and his wife Zeenat. The meeting did not produce results and the Legal team could not see the leader of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria.
On the 11th day of February 2016 we wrote to the Secretary of the Judicial Commission of Inquiry and averred that “The lead counsel to Shaikh Ibraheem Zakzaky and the Islamic Movement in Nigeria, Femi Falana, SAN and all the counsel engaged for the purpose of the Judicial Commission of Inquiry regret to inform you that we are not in a position to submit memorandum/da on behalf of the leader of the Islamic Movement and the Islamic Movement in Nigeria. This is predicated on the fact that we have no access to and have been denied access to the leader of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria who is the leader of the Movement as well as its spokesperson and custodian of its properties. We applied to see the leader of the Movement and made frantic efforts to be allowed access to him to no avail. Find attached to this letter request to the Inspector General of Police in that regard. We are therefore unable to submit any form of Memorandum/da on behalf of the leader of the Movement and the Islamic Movement in Nigeria”.
On the 19th day of February 2016 we again met with the Director General of the Department of State Services. It was agreed that we will see the leader of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria on Wednesday the 24th day of February 2016. We kept the appointment and did not see the leader of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria. On the same 24th day of February 2016, a member of the Legal Team, Maxwell Kyon Esq appeared before the Judicial Commission and clearly stated that the legal team appeared out of respect to the Commission considering the fact that we are yet to meet with and conference with the leader of the Movement and cannot in the circumstances provide meaningful representation and or put up any meaningful appearance. It was on the basis of this that the judicial commission adjourned and instructed Counsel to the Commission to assist in facilitating access to the leader of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria and adjourned to Monday the 29th day of February for report on the said facilitation and visit. On the 29th day of February 2016 Maxwell Kyon appeared before the Commission and informed the Commission that nobody has seen the leader of the Movement and that the facilitation has not yielded any positive result.
On the 9th day of March 2016 Festus Okoye and Maxwell Kyon appeared before the Commission and gave a detailed exposition of the efforts that the Legal Team made and continues to make to be granted access to the leader of the Islamic Movement. It was on the basis of this that the Commission directed that Counsel to the Commission should liaise with the Attorney general of the Federation and the Attorney General of Kaduna State to facilitate access to the leader of the Movement.
On the 7th day of March, 2016 the Commission wrote to the Attorney General of the Federation and that of Kaduna State. The Commission served copies of the said letters on the Legal Team on the 8thn day of March 2016. In paragraph 3 and 4 of the said letter the Commission stated that the Attorney General of the Federation may “wish to note however, that the other principal party, the Islamic Movement in Nigeria(IMN) has not submitted any, on the ground that the Counsel to the IMN Messers Femi Falana Sam and Festus Okoye Esq alleged that the Department of State Services(DSS) that is holding the leader of the IMN, Mallam Ibrahim Yakubu El-Zakzaky inspite of several efforts, denied them access to the leader hence, their inability to prepare and submit any Memorandum to the Commission. This position was reiterated at the Commission's proceedings of Monday, 7th March, 2016”. In paragraphs 4 of the said letter, the Secretary to the Commission stated that “Also the Senior Counsel to the Commission Yusuf Ali SAN applied to the Commission that the hon. Attorney General and Commissioner of Justice be kindly requested to collaborate and facilitate the accessibility of the team of Lawyers representing the IMN and the Commission to see the detained leader of the IMN between now and Friday 11th March, 2016. Also the Learned Counsel to the Commission has been mandated to report back at the next sitting of the Commission scheduled for Monday, 14th March, 2016”.
The Events of the 14th March 2016
On the 14th day of March 2016 the Counsel to the Commission reported that they had written to the Attorney General of the Federation and the Attorney General of Kaduna State but they had difficulties in getting the Attorney General to act on the said letter.
Unfortunately, the Secretary to the Commission Dr Bala Babaji issued a Press Statement after the Commissions sitting on March 14, 2016 and stated that the Commission has taken the following decisions. “The Commission notes that IMN has been represented by Counsel and is satisfied that the said Counsel has been properly briefed by the IMN to appear before us. The Commission has strived hard to afford all parties to be fairly represented and treated with justice and fairness in all its deliberations. The Commission intends to proceed with its deliberations on Monday, March 21, 2016 by taking the Memorandum submitted by the Army. The Commission will furthermore issue to the public its schedule of appearances and presentations in due course. Counsel to the IMN are to submit their memorandum no later than March 21, 2016”.
The Issues
From the inception of the Commission, we made it clear that we appeared out of respect to the Commission. We also made it clear that Sheikh Ibraheem Zakzaky is the leader of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria as well as its spokesperson and custodian of its properties. We therefore consider it out of place for the Commission to turn around and claim that it is satisfied that the team of lawyers has been properly briefed by the Islamic Movement in Nigeria. What the Commission has done and seeks to do is to graft the team of lawyers to a brief in which they are yet to have any form of briefing from the leader of the Islamic Movement and his wife that have been in the custody of the security agencies since the 14thn day of December 2105. We believe it is unethical and professional wrong to pretend to be representing a client and the wife that have been held by the government and have not been seen in public.
The Commission is aware and the Nigerian people are aware and our jurisprudence is clear that any person detained on suspicion of having committed a criminal offence is presumed innocent and such a person shall be brought before a court of law within a reasonable time and if he is not tried within a period of two months from the date of his arrest or detention in the case of a person who is in custody or is not entitled to bail he shall (without prejudice to any further proceedings that may be brought against him) be released either unconditionally or upon such conditions as are reasonably necessary to ensure that he appears for trial at a later date. This fundamental constitutional right has been denied the leader of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria and his wife. No explanation has been offered for this fundamental constitutional breach.
Moreover, the Islamic Movement in Nigeria has fundamental issues with some members of the Judicial Commission and believes that their membership of the Commission is in furtherance of a pre determined agenda to ban, decimate and or emasculate the Movement. Some members of the Commission hold very strong public views against the Movement and their views are in the public domain. It will therefore amount to wishful thinking to expect a member that has canvassed the banning of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria and the closure of its schools to become a changed lover of the policies and programs of the Movement on mere membership of the Commission. These members accepted to serve because they have scores to settle with the Movement. The expectation is that these members ought to on their own decline their membership of the Commission.
It is also our firm view that justice is rooted in confidence and it is incongruous for us to continue to appear before the Commission that was fully aware that we have been denied access to the leader of the Movement and still went ahead to command that we should file a Memorandum and continue to appear before them whether we have access to the leader of the Movement or not.
We cannot in good conscience continue to represent a client whose whereabouts is shrouded in secrecy and in mystery. We cannot in good conscience continue to pretend to represent a client that we are not sure of his state of health considering the fact that he was shot severally by the Nigerian Military before he was taken away. We cannot in good conscience continue to represent a client that we are not aware whether he is alive or dead.
Furthermore, it is self evident that clause g and h in the Commissions terms of reference of the Commission are self serving and has nothing to do with the overall intendment of the Commission. The determination of the evolution of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria, its legal status, organization, structure, membership, growth, assets, resources, culture and practices have nothing to do with the events that took place in Zaria between the 12th and 14th of December 2016. The Kaduna State Government should also go ahead to determine the legal status and evolution of the Nigerian military. Those that set up the Commission are aware that the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999(as amended) guarantees freedom of association and no government is permitted abridge the said rights. We believe that the said clause was inserted in a desperate move to find justification for the banning of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria.
Our Position
1. The Legal Team of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria will not be used and will not allow itself to be used to legitimize a pre determined position and agenda against the Leader of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria and the Islamic Movement in Nigeria.
2. The Legal Team thought it could lend its support to the Movement to tell the Nigerian public and the international community its own version of the events of the 12th to 14th of December 2015 but all efforts aimed at getting proper briefing from the leader of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria met a brick wall.
3. The Legal Team has resolved that in the light of the realities of lack of access, briefing and representation for the Movement, the most honorable thing to do is to withdraw completely from appearance before the Commission in whatever form and manner and to cease any form of representation in whatever form or manner for the Movement.
4. The Islamic Movement in Nigeria believes that the Nigerian people are entitled to know the truth of what happened in Zaria and Kaduna and will explore alternative means and avenues of letting the Nigerian people know the truth of what happened.

#Zaria_Massacre : We are not terrorists, we are the destroyers & nemesis of terrorism.
A Canadian Blogger and Activist recently saw a disturbing poll that said "one in every five Nigerian Muslim supports #ISIS". A 2015 poll by the Pew Research Center found that about one Nigerian Muslim in five is favorably inclined toward the so-called Islamic State. The Canadian Blogger contacted me for confirmation & I told her that the poll is correct.
The Saudi-sponsored #Wahhabism in #Nigeria started making headway in Nigeria in the mid-70s with Saudi petro-dollars flooding Nigeria to promote the deviant, terrorism - enabled and extremely intolerant Wahhabi sect. With the prevalence of Wahhabism especially in Northern Nigeria, it was just a matter of time for the emergence of a Wahhabi - inspired murderous terrorism in the name of #Islam and that came with the #BokoHaram insurgency.
The present Nigerian government is today infiltrated and dominated by these Wahhabi elements who have more allegiance to the Saudi Wahhabi regime than to the Nigerian nation. The Nigerian President Buhari appointed die-hard Wahhabi/Salafis to key positions in his government especially in the military and security sections and the brutal #Zaria_Massacre of defenseless & unarmed #Shia_Muslims in Zaria that killed 1000+ Nigerians was a product of this Wahhabi ascendancy in Nigeria. And the dragging of Nigeria into the anti-Shia Saudi-led coalition by Nigerian President Buhari with no due consultations with relevant stakeholders is another product of the Wahhabi ascendancy in Nigeria.
Who clashed with Who?
.
In its attempt to mislead Nigerians and the world on its crime against humanity, the Nigerian government is making all efforts to tag the the unfortunate and unforgettable massacre of Islamic Movement members by the Army in Zaria as a Clash between IMN and the Army. this concept has been sponsored into the media language to the extent that many media outlets are spreading this deception.
More so, a mild campaign is in the move to sway public understanding in its favor by blaming the IMN for not making any presentation before the committee set up by the Kaduna state government. By this it is hypocritically trying to show the public that the Movement is jeopardizing the efforts of the commission,
.
There are two important things to note here, firstly, there was no such thing as a clash between the Nigerian Army and the Shi'ites at any time in Zaria. What happened was a pre-planned massacre of the Shi'ite by the Nigerian government and its Army.
.
At the end of the pogrom, no fewer than 350 Shi'ites were brutally killed according to the Human Rights Watch. The Shi'ites came up with a list of about 750 names and profiles of persons it declared missing.believing many to have been killed and others abducted and kept in illegal detention by the Army including the leader Sheiikh Zakzaky.
One of the survivors of #Zaria_Massacre with almost his body burnt.On which crime this innocent child be given such inhumane treatment by the Nigerian Army?
.
Our consolation is that the Almighty God is aware of it and every living mortal must meet Him and account his deeds.
#Nigeria:The gross injustice against Sheikh Ibraheem Zakzaky & IMN
The brutal #Zaria_Massacre by the Nigerian Army that killed 1000+ defenseless & unarmed Nigerians will just not go away as the masterminds and perpetrators had hoped. They buried and burnt the dead bodies of their victims and they wished that we all also buried and burnt their memories from our hearts and minds, how naive are these people!
It is on record that the Islamic Movement in Nigerian (IMN) have been peaceful and have never killed or harmed a single person. The fact that they refused to be armed was not a choice imposed on them by any external factor, it was a choice that His Eminence Sheikh Ibraheem #Zakzaky willingly made to remain peaceful and he has repeated that on countless occasions.
What World Muslim Leader discussed with Buhari before his phone was stolen
The phone belonging to Secretary General of the Muslim World League, Dr. Abdullah bin Abdulmohsen Al-Turki was reportedly stolen on friday.
The muslim leader who was in Abuja Nigeria for the Islamic International Conference was received by President Muhammadu Buhari at the presidential villa alongside the mecca based MWL delegation ahead of the conference.
During the meeting, Buhari confirmed the strong relations binding Nigeria with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and lauded the efforts exerted by the Kingdom, led by the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz al Saud to unite the ranks of Muslims and its generous services for Islam and Muslims everywhere.
In his response, the Al-Turki suggested the formation of a supreme Islamic council to coordinate the activities of the various Islamic associations in Nigeria which adopt moderation and accept dialogue and cooperation.
Al-Turki also announced the welcome of MWL to receive in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia moderate Islamic organizations in Nigeria.
Later in the day, Al-Turki led the Juma’at prayer at the National Mosque on Friday and it was shortly after the service that he discovered his handset had been stolen.
The NATION reports that this incident, which has greatly embarrassed security agencies, is currently being investigated.
Pick Pockets in the Nigerian national mosque?
Yeah, one of the dignitaries scholar from KSA to attend the recent Assembly and conference meant for reformation of Muslim creeds and Methods of Tackling Terrorism and it's eradication"; Dr. Abdullah bn Abdul suddenly lost his cell phone after leading the Friday Congregational prayers right when he was shaking hands with dignitaries on the front row!?!?
Is this report actually, true!?!?!?
It's Sad and Shameful!
PRESS STATEMENT
SHEIKH ZAKZAKY MUST BE GRANTED ACCESS TO HIS LAWYERS
Today 14-03-16, the judicial commission of inquiry on the gruesome killings perpetrated by the Nigerian army in Zaria, sitting in Kaduna has for the fifth time adjourned its sittings to next week Monday being the 21st day of March 2016, promising to go ahead with proceedings, even if the Leader of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria, Sheikh Ibraheem Zakzaky is not granted access to his lawyers. The Commission also directed the Lawyers to the Islamic Movement in Nigeria who were present in the sitting to prepare a written memo before then and file in the Commissions registry.
We find this directive perplexing and contrary to the directive of the Commission at the last sitting on the 7th day of March 2016. What will our Lawyers submit to the Commission if our leader is denied his fundamental human right of access to his lawyers for proper and professional briefing?
We wish to remind the Commission that Sheikh Ibraheem Zakzaky was attacked in his house for two days, wherein his 3 children were murdered in cold blood, his wife shot, he himself wounded by bullets in six different places, his senior sister roasted alive including some women, hundreds of his followers killed by gunshots, his house demolished with the rubble cleared, his Islamic centre bulldozed and cleared also, and his mothers grave desecrated along with that of his children. If the public is not allowed to hear his own side of the story, whose story will do justice to the terms of reference, given to the Commission?
We find it strange that the Commission that is aware that the Nigerian Military and the Department of State Services (DSS) are holding the leader, spokesperson and custodian of the properties of the Movement hostage will go ahead to issue such an order. We thought that the Commission will insist that the security agencies should obey its order and grant access to the lawyers of the Movement to see him. What impact will the Commission make if its orders are not obeyed by the security services? We are of the view that the Commission must establish its independence by enforcing its order and directive rather than threatening to go ahead with its supposed assignment when the leader of one of the parties and his wife are held in solitary confinement.
Whosoever advised the Commission to continue with its proceeding does not wish the Commission well, because whatever it will eventually submit to those that set it up will lack credibility in the eyes of well meaning Nigerians and the world in general if it cannot secure access to one of the parties in the conflict.
While we will be glad if the legal rights of our leader are restored, we still reiterate our earlier demand that we will not work with the Commission of Inquiry unless he is released after more than ninety days incarceration.
IHRC
PRESS RELEASE - Nigeria: Prosecution of Sheikh Zakzaky is a perversion of natural justice
IHRC is appalled by the filing of a civil lawsuit in Nigeria demanding the immediate arrest and prosecution of the leader of the country's Islamic Movement, Sheikh Ibraheem Zakzaky along with his wife Zeenat.
The lawsuit has been filed with the federal court in the capital Abuja by Danbaba Gyang, secretary general of the Lawyers Alliance for Defence of Democracy in Nigeria.
Mr Gyang wants the court to determine that the couple incited public unrest by members of the movement during December's violence in Zaria in which at least a thousand of the movement's supporters were killed.
Even by the macabre twists of Nigerian politics IHRC finds the lawsuit perverse in that by all accounts the Sheikh and his family, and supporters of the Islamic Movement, were victims of an unprovoked and apparently pre-planned massacre by the country's military.

GEN. BURATAI WHY DID YOU KILL OUR FATHERS?
The 15 babies in this picture are some of the babies born to some of the wives of those killed by the Nigerian army in Zaria on 12/12/15.
Gen. Buratai is believed to have given the order of shoot at sight on the armless muslims who were at Husainiyya Islamic centre on that fateful day that triggered the pogrom by the army on the Islamic Movement that saw the death of 1000+ civilians.
These babies who were born within a month after the incident might surely one day ask why Gen. Buratai ordered for the death of their fathers on that day instead of following the due process of the law by inviting the police to arrest those who allegedly blocked his way?
Probably when the General told NHC in Abuja that his soldiers killed only 7 people, he thought there won't be any evidence to prove him wrong, but these innocent babies are enough testimonies to the fact that he lied to the whole world.
We call on the people of conscience to seek for justice in this unwarranted killings done by the Nigerian army. If today you are not a victim, who knows you might be next!
The Children of the Decease, those who were Fathers killer by Burari and those who their Parents were Imprisoned by Mr Buhari after Zaria Massacre held a Prayes Session on Friday at Fagge's Friday Mosque. They Pray for the Unconditional release of Sheikh Zakzaky and his Followres that is thier Parent and Prays for Allah to avenge for their Parents who were Brutally killed without any Justifiable reasons.
"The Islamic Movement in Nigeria has been in existence for over 38 years and does not have any records of attacking anybody anywhere or any building even
as it had been a victim of attacks to which it had never retaliated including the killing of 34 of its members by the Nigerian Army in 2014 among who were 3 biological sons of the leader, Sheikh Ibraheem Zakzaky."
"The IMN is not a terrorist organization as they want to depict. It is rather a peaceful Movement calling for the establishment of fairness and justice to all irrespective of religion, region or tribe. Even as the Nigerian government and its Army killing machine can be identified with brutal killings that include burning people alive as do the Boko Haram, the Islamic Movement is identified with saving lives and property during tribal and religious clashes in the country. Hence the government should look inwards and see who actually is the terrorist."
Why Is The #AIT Leading The Smear Campaign Against IMN & Shia Islam in #Nigeria? I received this reply from Chief Raymond Dokpesi, the founder of the African Independent Television ( AIT ), A Nigerian - based media outfit. He wrote as a rejoinder to me piece "RE:Campaign Against Shiite Extremism Launched In Lagos" I have just seen an article written by you where you were responding to Nigerians United Against Terrorism.Specifically you stated that "The fact that it was African Independent Television (AIT),a privately-owned media outfit that is notorious in sponsoring smear campaigns,that broadcasted the launch shows that it was sponsored." Dear Mr Elbinawi I happen to be the founder of AIT though I am now a pensioner.Can you please advise me on the smear campaigns that AIT has notoriously sponsored? Are you sure of your facts?Has this same AIT not given your sect the opportunity to state your own side of the story at various times? When the Zaria killings took place recently did AIT not report all the sides to enable the Nigerian public understand the issues & challenges?Did you mean that the news item/event was sponsored by AIT?Please educate me. Below is my reply to Chief Raymond Dokpesi: "Conscience is an open wound, only Truth can heal it." -Sheikh Uthman Ibn Fodio ( ra ) Dear Chief, I received your reply to my piece "RE: Campaign Against Shiite Extremism Launched In Lagos" where I mentioned the leading role that your AIT is playing in the ongoing smear campaign of calumny and demonization against the peaceful Islamic Movement of Nigeria ( IMN ) and Shia Islam in #Nigeria. It is common knowledge to all Nigerians the notorious role that AIT played in the last elections where it led smear campaigns against some leading personalities of the then APC opposition party that was unprecedented in the history of Nigeria. Unfortunately for AIT the opposition APC won the Presidential election and the rest is history. With all due respect to you as an African Chief and an elder of your Church, your claim that AIT gave IMN the opportunity to state it's case after the brutal massacre that killed 1000+ defenseless & unarmed Nigerians in Zaria is not true. For your information after the Zaria massacre one of the staffs of AIT arranged a program at Abuja AIT _KAKAKI program where a member of IMN was invited and a political platform program for some few minutes at your Radio Ray Power on the same day. This is only what AIT did and cannot be compared to the countless hours that AIT gave the Nigerian Army to state it's lies on the Zaria massacre to the Nigerian public. After this AIT has been notorious on the smear campaigns against IMN & Shia Islam in Nigeria. The exact opposite can be said of the Channels TV which is also an independent TV network in Nigeria just like the AIT. Channels TV has given IMN adequate opportunity to state it's case to Nigerians, they interviewed IMN leaders, they interviewed IMN lawyers and all their reports on the Zaria massacre were balanced and objective. Dear Chief, we know that you have a pending 2.1 billion Naira corruption case in a Nigerian court and the Nigerian government that executed the brutal Zaria massacre might be using that to blackmail you into furthering their evil agenda against IMN & Shia Islam in Nigeria. We also know that AIT is currently having financial problems and AIT have find it difficult to meet its financial obligations including unable to pay it's staff salaries. The attraction to Saudi petro-dollars that funded the brutal slaughter of 1000+ defenseless Nigerians in Zaria is a possibility. And it is common knowledge in Nigeria that AIT is the most pro-#Israeli media outfit in Nigeria and we have credible information of AIT past close collaboration with the Israeli Embassy in Nigeria. Dear Chief, in today's international relations and diplomacy the Saudi and Israeli regimes had formed a close alliance against #Iran and Shia Islam. With the ongoing smear campaigns by AIT against IMN & Shia Islam in Nigeria, is the AIT the media arm of the Saudi - Israeli alliance agenda in Nigeria? The most recent AIT - sponsored smear campaigns against IMN & Shia Islam in Nigeria is wicked, evil and the peak of cruelty that must be condemned by all people of conscience. That is the evil agenda of trying to link the peaceful IMN and the murderous #BokoHaram insurgency. For your information #BokoHaram is the most deadliest terrorist group in the whole world and to link such a murderous terrorist outfit with IMN that has been peaceful for more than 37 years is malicious, wicked and product of the most evil minds. BokoHaram had killed more than 30,000 innocent Nigerians, it has killed 1000s in Chad, Niger and Cameroon. The BokoHaram insurgency has displaced more than 2 million Nigerians from their homes and has abducted 1000s of Nigerian women and girls as sex-slaves. How can your AIT linked such monumental evil to IMN and Shia Islam? Chief Raymond Dokpesi what have we done to you and your AIT to deserve such gross injustice against us? Dear Chief, for your information the teachings of Shia Islam have its roots from the pure teachings and guidance of the pure Households of our Prophet Muhammad ( sa ). It is impossible in such a school of thought to produce a Abubakar Shekau, a Osama bin Laden, a Abubakar al Baghdadi, a Muhammad Buhari, a Tukur Burutai or a Nasir Elrufai. It is impossible to produce bloodthirsty savages who mercilessly kill the innocent to further an evil agenda. The brutal #Zaria_Massacre by the Nigerian Army was undoubtedly a war crime, all the crimes and atrocities that you know BokoHaram has committed, the Nigerian Army committed more in the brutal slaughter of defenseless Nigerians in Zaria. In the Zaria massacre the Nigerian Army burnt Nigerians alive in the residence of Sheikh #Zakzaky, they raped the sisters of IMN then killed them but one of them survived after she was raped and shot multiple times. The Nigerian Army shot sisters of IMN in their private parts & stabbed them in their breasts with rifle bayonets. I have never heard of BokoHaram thugs committed such crime but the Nigerian Army committed that heinous crime against innocent Nigerian women. Dear Chief, finally I will like to address your conscience as first a human then a practicing Christian and a Nigerian. Do you think that the ongoing smear campaign against IMN & Shia Islam in Nigeria by the AIT that you founded is righteous and just? I end this piece, warm regards to your family!

A CALL FOR THE SAKE OF SHEIKH AL ZAKZAKY
By Dany Mabsout
Where has Sheikh Ibrahim al Zakzaky disappeared? And how can someone of the caliber of Sheikh al Zakzaky with so many followers disappear ? Even for me who have never met the venerable Sheikh , i cannot believe what happened until now . When Sheikh al Zakzaky came to Beirut in July , to attend the meetings of the Scholars for the Resistance , i headed to his hotel to greet him but was not successful in meeting him. I was told that he comes back late at night after finishing his meetings within the conference that was held in Beirut in support of the Resistance . i was under the impression that Sheikh al Zakzaky wanted to use every minute of his time to have things done .
Even though i failed in meeting him, i felt very much close the presence of Sheikh al Zakzaky, especially after i followed the program on al Manar TV that hosted him . It is then that i understood why Sheikh al Zakzaky had so many supporters and followers, and i felt admiration for his eminence . Sheikh al Zakzaky speech was direct and sincere . He stated facts the way they were without adding anything , just the plane truth . I was somehow fascinated and so was the journalist who hosted him on al Manar . In few minutes i learned so much about Nigeria and Boko Haram, just from the answers that Sheikh al Zakzaki gave . He gave in a nutshell a whole picture of the situation.
After the Zaria massacres- this December- that left all breathless , i had hoped that soon the fate of the venerable Sheikh would be revealed, and that people would get to know what has happened to him and that it was a matter of days . But this has not happened yet . and i was wrong in my expectations.
Nigeria must be strange country , and seems to be totally exposed, and losing control over its territory and under the mercy of its enemies . Infiltration must be very deep and the country seems to be disintegrating with the enemy having direct access to the army and probably to many other institutions within the country . This is most frightening because the disappearance of al Zakzaky cannot be explained , and the incapacity of his followers to see him or learn something about him raises many questions, and the capacity of the government to get away with this crime is most strange .
We wish the best for the venerable struggling Sheikh who has lost all his sons and many of his followers . We are not afraid that the faith of Sheikh al Zakzaky be shaken but we worry about his fate and the fate of the country where all this is happening.

THE NEW MEDIA PROPAGANDA WAR AGAINST THE ISLAMIC MOVEMENT
In the aftermath of the genocidal attack on the Islamic Movement in Zaria by the Nigerian army we have witnessed a series of media propaganda attack orchestrated by those behind the military attack. The first one being the video released by the army trying to assert that the army’s chief of staff convoy was stopped on a highway. Not satisfied with that edited and fabricated video they released they widened the media frontier and drag NTA into airing a commercial trying to paint the Islamic Movement as a terrorist organization.
Not long after that, write ups, advertorials casting the Islamic Movement and its Leader, Sheikh Ibraheem Zakzaky in bad light, began springing up in various national newspapers.
And now recently some organizations, who were hitherto unknown to the general public started springing up, with one claiming it is fighting Iranian hegemony into Nigerian territory via the Islamic Movement; with another one early this week calling itself Nigerians United Against Extremism claiming “Shiites are mere common criminals.”
We will not like to join issues with the foot soldiers of those hell bent on wiping out the Islamic Movement in Nigeria, but rather with their Local and International Sponsors. First they should know that it is too late for them to paint the Islamic Movement as extremists, violent and a threat to the corporate existence of Nigeria, simply because we are not anonymous. We are well known in our communities as peaceful law abiding citizens of this country of our birth. In fact our leader has a letter of commendation from Kaduna state government as a harbinger of peace in the state and the nation in general. Even when he was incarcerated by the late military dictator Gen. Abacha, a court of law discharge and acquitted him of all the charges brought against him in 1998. These latter day activists are just turning themselves into laughing stock before the public.
Secondly it is rather absurd for the faceless sponsors of those articles and Organizations against the Islamic Movement to think that they can succeed in portraying us as enemies of our Christian brothers. We believe that the real Christians with whom we live peacefully in our communities know that we not only extend our hand of friendship to them, but do protect them from communal strife in the past.
And indeed the Islamic Movement will forever be grateful to the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), other Christian organizations too numerous to mention here and also Igbo societal groups,Yoruba Societal groups as well as other ethnic groups, just to mention but a few, for the condolence messages they sent to us after the vicious attack by the army upon armless members of the Islamic movement.
The recent revelation made by the news website called NewsRescue.com that its reporter has been approached with a ‘kola’ of N12,000 to cover that show of shame displayed by the group Nigerians United Against Extremism in Lagos, is a pointer to the fact that these so called groups against Shia are mere hired thugs devoid of any sense of humanity with them. We appeal to these foot soldiers not to sell their conscience for mere pittance, because Christianity and Islam both teach the belief in the hereafter where all will be accountable before God the creator of the universe.
We will like to once again re-state our commitment to following all peaceful avenues in seeing that justice is done to the Islamic Movement in the face of the unwarranted killing of its defenseless 1000+ members in the most gruesome manner.

Buratai: Campaign Against 10 million Shia Offers NewsRescue N12,000 To Publish Agenda
A latest well sponsored campaign against Shia minority Muslims in Nigeria has just offered NewsRescue the sum of N12,000 to publish its propaganda messages against the 10 million minority Muslim sector of Nigeria.
Speaking to a certain Mr. Jude Feranmi in Lagos, the contriver of the platform, a NewsRescue author was just offered the sum and told that the organisation is paying out similar sums to all blogs who are willing to promote its message.
The message, “No to Shiite extremism” has been broadcast by the AIT and was also on Vanguard and other Nigerian editorials.
Jude’s group in its unusually tailored message is campaigning to stop Nigeria’s millions of Shia Muslims who lost 1000 members in a brutal government action last December to “not take up arms against the state.”
Women of IMN are the most courageous in the world:
If the women of #Palestine are the bravest women in the world then the women of the Islamic Movement of Nigeria ( IMN ) are the most courageous women in world.
On #InternationalWomensDay2016 I salute the courage and dedication of the women of #IMN. In the brutal #Zaria_Massacre where the Nigerian government via the Nigerian Army slaughtered 1000+ defenseless & unarmed #Shia_Muslims in Zaria, the women of #IMN were raped then killed, they were burnt alive, they were shot in their private parts & stabbed in their breasts with rifle bayonets yet they remained standing & resisting! #IWD2016 #WD2016 #InternationalWomensDay

Blind fellowship should not be used to refer to the followers Sheikh Zakzaky because his near - four decades of active preaching has never killed any person, but a blind flower is such a bigot who claims to be a Muslim but end up supporting the killing of his fellow Muslims just because they do not share the same creed. A blind follower is such a Muslim who glorifies the terrorism of IS, Taliban but hypocritically distances himself from Boko Haram here at home. A blind follower is such a Muslim whose hagiographic allegiance to Buhari makes him regard any critic of Buhari as an infidel. A real blind follower is who defends the detention of Zakzaky, wife and hundreds of his followers, and still regards Buhari as an embodiment of justice and human rights. A blind follower is he who claims to be a Muslim but hates Shias more than he hates Israelis. A blind follower is he who brands Zakzaky a terrorist but glorifies Osama bn Laden as a man of God, a freedom fighter and jihadist. A blind follower is he who fails to distinguish Sunnism, a path that promotes unity and Salafism, a path that advocates violence and cruelty. A blind follower is that religiously pusillanimous wanker who hails Saudi Arabia despite the destruction of the Islamic world with its venomous Wahabist virus, but still labels Iran as a terrorist country just because it is not in tune with the New World Order.
All about Buhari?
.
Buhari as many people regard him, is a change our country craved for years, but without any digression and unnecessary casuistry, this old man is seemingly here to actualize the US' renewed prediction that our country may not survive the next 50 years. Look at the way he brazenly drags our religiously and culturally heterogeneous country into the Middle East politics by making a dramatic U-turn to join the Saudi-led coalition against terrorism. A country that is hell bent on destroying the fabrics of Islam through its subtle funding of terrorist cells all over the world, a country that infects Pakistan, Afghanistan and Somalia with Salafist virus thereby turning them into failed states in a matter of decades. It is Saudi Arabia, in its futile efforts to fend off phantom threats from Iran, that has become so involved in the destruction of Libya, Syria and Iraq. Islam is at war with itself, Muslims kill and massacre one another more than the numbers of Muslims killed by the Americans and Israelis all because Saudi Arabia has been instrumental in dividing the Muslim world into warring factions. The future of northern Nigeria already hangs in the balance, with our youths going to Saudi Arabia to study a deviant version of Islam and get back to disturb our peace here at home, I am afraid our turbulent reality is far from over. Buhari has implicated Shias for the massacre of their own people, his politics of alienation has rekindled the rise of Biafra agitation in the South East and militants in Niger Delta, his pro-Northern appointments has evoked anti-Hausa sentiments in the Yoruba land, a sentiment that resulted in the deaths of hundreds of Hausas. Buhari's reluctance to condemn the terrorist activities of his kinsmen Fulani for the massacre of hundreds of Christians is a testimony to our harbouring suspicion that he only wants to drag our country into a mire. These troubles are just a presage of chaos. Our economic is already in tatters, poverty is crippling and turning millions into hapless vagrants, it is not my desire to prognosticate an impending calamity for our future, with Buhari in charge, I am afraid Nigeria may never be the same again.

Zaria Massacre:
Tribute to Shaheed Mujaheed Isah Waziri
The December 12/13 Zaria massacre will ever remain a black day in the hearts of students of Ahmadu Bello University Zaria (ABU) and in the hearts of the peaceful members of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria (IMN) and ofcourse in the heart of every sympathetic individual who cares for values and respect humanity.
Mujaheed Isah Waziri is among the 1000+ innocent Shi'a Muslims brutally attacked by the despotic Nigerian military during their carnage on the peaceful members of the IMN led by their Chief of staff Tukur Burutai. Though, the actual cause of the brutal massacre is not yet said, the military till date failed to convince the world on this merciless massacre; all their excuses to cover the carnage appears inhumane, barbaric, pre-planned and despotic.
Students in ABU are condoling with us over the whereabout of this great hero. He was the Class representative of 300 level geography. His classmates declare him as someone very responsible who always put their needs before his, cares for their well fare, ensures peaceful and conducive environment in the class. "We can never have another Mujaheed Waziri ever, " they said crying. Till this write up they did not nominate another class Rep, who will take over from him because of how they respect him.
I overheard many students talking about his good conduct. He is a comrade, popular and friendly. I always smile when I overhear something like this.
He is among the leading members of the Academic Forum of the Islamic Movement (AFIMN) ABU Zaria chapter. He has a well planned future on how to boost Sheikh Zakzaky's Da'awah. He planned on AFIMN ABU Chapter paying an honorary visit to Pastor Yohanna Buru of Kaduna state, visit to the Christians of the academia in order to improve the human brotherhood between us, visit to Fudiyyah Zaria and even organising debate and quiz competition among them.
I saw him last in Husainiyyah Baqiyatullah on the day of commomerating the martyrdom of the holy prophet (SAWW). I even passed without recognizing him. He called my name and I turned back, we exchange pleasantries and gists about the school and about our upcoming activities in the campus. The very last words he uttered to me smiling are "Include us in your prayers please Najeeb" By then he was drawing "Tasbaha" on his hand. I smiled back and said "likewise my guy. " we shaked hands, not knowing that may be the last time I can meet him!
Since after the brutal massacre, Mujaheed's whereabout is still unknown but he was at the residence of Sheikh Zakzaky in Gyallesu during the carnage. He phoned last with his father telling him that he don't think they will be able to see each other again, as there were only few of them remaining in Gyallesu by then. Is he among those burnt in Sheikh Zakzaky's residence? Is he among those given mass burial? Is he among those in detention and being tutored at military's barrack? Only He, the exalted; knows the best!
Peace be upon you the day you were born, the day you are martyred and the day you will be raised alive my guy! We really miss you!!!

THE ISLAMIC MOVEMENT IN NIGERIA IS NOT HOLDING THE JUDICIAL COMMISSION OF INQUIRY TO RANSOM
Sequel to the recent declaration by the Islamic Movement in Nigeria, IMN calling for the unconditional release of the revered leader of the Movement, his Eminence Sheikh Ibraheem Zakzaky to lead the Movement to the Judicial Commission of Inquiry (JCI), counsel to the Commission, Yunus Ustaz Usman accused the IMN of “holding the Commission to ransom” claiming that the IMN “has other stakeholders that it can rely on if it is not able to secure a meeting with El-Zakzaky”
The IMN views the statement made by Yunus Ustaz Usman as capable of grossly misleading the general public on who actually is stalling proceedings in order to achieve an already clear set agenda of indicting the Movement.
The IMN made it clear from the onset that his Eminence Sheikh Ibraheem Zakzaky is , the leader, spokesman and custodian of its properties and that it will be unjust, unfair and against the tenets of the rule of law and due process for the leader to be held incommunicado and a Judicial Commission of Inquiry will be sitting to determine the fate of the Movement he leads, the extent of destruction meted to its properties, the number of its members extra judicially executed, missing and or in prison custody.
Youth Forum of the Islamic Movement Organized Nation Wide Protest against the Continued Detention of Sheikh Zakzaky and his Followers who were held incommunicado by the Military after Zaria Massacre by Nigerian Army under the Command of Mr Muhammad Buhari Adamu.
They Carried Banners and Posters of the Free Zakzaky and the picture the Victims of Zaria Massacre which Attracted alot of People to it. The People used the Comdemn the Army and the Stand taken by Mr Buhari Adamu the President of Nigeria.
The Youth Passed through the Major Street of Kano Old City like Koki, Kwanar Dala, Makwalla and so on and ended the Procession at Gwammaja Quarters Biside Center of Democracy Mumbayya House.
Alhaji Ado leader of Youth Forum Kano Chapter called on the Federal Goverment to Immediately Release Shiekh Zakzaky and Followers without any Condition and also release the Bodies of our Brothers and Sisters Killed by the Military and Withheld the Bodies.
Nigerian government sponsoring protest to the Iranian Embassy on #Zaria_Massacre:
After killing 1000+ defenseless & unarmed #Shia_Muslims in Zaria, the oppressive & tyrannical Nigerian regime sponsored paid Advertorials in major Nigerian media outlets against IMN & Shia Islam but majority of Nigerians rejected it's fraudulent propaganda and called for independent and credible probe. The Nigerian regime failed to do that and established a kangaroo commission of inquiry via the Kaduna State Government and populated it with die-hard Salafis who have #ShiaGenocide as an agenda.
After failing to make Nigerians forget the brutal Zaria massacre, the Nigerian regime has now resorted to cheap exploitation of National sentiment by sponsoring faceless groups & Wahhabi clerics to the Iranian Embassy in Abuja to protest what they claimed "Iranian interference in #Nigeria" and calling for the expulsion of the Iranian Ambassador to Nigeria Mr. Saeed Koozechi.
The Nigerian regime is desperate to bury its war crimes like all bloodthirsty regimes that kill innocent civilians. They want the world to forget about their slaughter of 1000+ Nigerians, but people with conscience have refused to forget and be silent. Nigerians especially the vocal social media activists have continued to remind the world that 1000+ Nigerians were brutally killed and their dead bodies dumped in mass graves.
The #IMN does not depend on the existence of an Iranian Embassy in Nigeria for its programs and activities, the IMN is an organization with a National spread that has millions of members within and outside Nigeria. #Iran is a great nation that side with all the world oppressed, in any part of the world that the oppressed screamed then the voice of support from Iran will be heard.
The wicked and evil Nigerian rulers killed 1000+ Nigerians in less than 48 hours and buried them in mass graves to bury the evidences. They are so wicked in their wickedness that they forgot that those they murdered have loved ones, friends, neighbors and family relations. Now these shameless war criminals are accusing the innocent Iran for doing what is right and just in condemning the brutal and inhuman massacre of 1000+ Nigerians.
And it was not only Iran that condemned that brutal massacre, all human rights groups within and outside Nigeria strongly condemned the massacre and call for independent probe. Most of them outside Nigeria went further to sent their special representatives to Nigeria for data collection on the brutal Zaria massacre.
I said this in the past and I will say it again that there has never been any tyrant and oppressors in histotry that has succeeded in encapsulating a massacre and the Nigerian President Buhari will not be the first exception. One day, God willing, whether we are alive or not those mass graves will be unearth and their remains will be shown to the world.

PRESS RELEASE
WE REJECT ANY FALSE FLAG ATTACK IN OUR NAME
Our attention has been drawn to a report by some online media sites captioned: Alert: Shiites Threaten Mass Revolt Nationwide. The report insinuated that the Islamic Movement of Nigeria under the leadership of Sheikh Ibraheem Yaqoub Zakzaky is planning a revenge mission for the killings done to it by the army in Zaria. The story was predicated on an extracted part of a speech by a member of the Islamic Movement in Kano, which was taken out of context.
We hereby categorically deny that there is any plan to ‘hit back at the army and other symbols of authority’ as claimed by the report. This is only a ploy to start series of false flag operations whereby attacks will be staged somewhere and these will be attributed to the Islamic Movement as a ‘revenge attacks’. It will be recalled that security operatives have for long had a history of planning such attacks, especially when all efforts to justify their atrocities fail woefully. Similar plots were exposed soon after the daylight cold-blooded murder of 34 members of IMN in 2014. It must be made clear however that any such attacks, now or in the future, is not by the Movement or its members as we wish to reiterate that the Islamic Movement in Nigeria has never ever even contemplated taking up arms or use of violence as a means to achieving our aims. We remain committed to our non-violent ways of extending our message of fairness and justice to all irrespective of sect or religion.
There has never been a single occasion when the Islamic Movement in Nigeria under the leadership of his Eminence Sheikh Ibraheem Zakzaky ever threaten the peace and stability of Nigeria or engaged in any form of violence throughout its 38 years of existence. We have always been the victims of those who are opposed to justice because of our insistence that due process of law should be followed by those in authority.
For the benefit of doubts, we restate that we will never be distracted by anyone and no amount of provocation or incitement would make the IMN ever engage in any form of violent activity.
Our leader Shaikh Zakzaky has said it many times in his discourses that the large following the Movement enjoys among the Nigerian people is not due to the use of arms by the Islamic Movement, but rather by its adherence to truth and justice for all irrespective of religion, tribe and region.
It seems those that wrote the story assume that the Islamic Movement in Nigeria operates like some terrorist groups created by the enemies of Islam, who release video clips in dissemination of its message. Such lousy ways are not our modus operandi and we are not anonymous. We have been living as peaceful Muslims for almost four decades and so it is myopic for anybody to attribute violence to us.
The Islamic Movement is still focused on its demand for the unconditional release of Shaikh Zakzaky and all those in detention sequel to the genocidal attack perpetrated by the army against the Islamic Movement in Zaria.

Buhari Should Have Performed Umrah in Zaria, not in Makkah!
By: AbdulHussein Khadimul Qa'eem
The holy Prophet Muhammad (May Allah's blessings be upon him and his holy progeny) made a very important declaration that I assume if President Muhammadu Buhari had heard it, he would not have left Nigeria to perform umrah in Makkah. Rather he would have performed umrah in Zaria! By no chance are we equating Makkah and Zaria, nor do we claim Zaria to be holy. But the President has failed the essence of Islam and the words of the Prophet (s) as the life of believers were desecrated. It is the actions or inaction of the President that has made it requisite for him to go on "pilgrimage" to Zaria before going on pilgrimage to Makkah!
In "Targhib wa’ l-Tarhib" of Imam al-Mundhiri, 3/276, the following hadith is narrated from `Abd Allah ibn `Amr ibn al-`As that the holy Prophet Muhamnad (s) said:
“I saw the Messenger of Allah (saw) performing tawaf around the Holy Ka`ba saying to it: ‘how pure and good you are! how pure and good your fragrance is! how great and exalted you are! and how great and exalted your sanctity is! But by Him in Whose hand is Muhammad’s soul, the sanctity of a believer’s blood and property in the sight of Allah is greater than your sanctity!’“
It is of no avail or benefit for man to uphold the sanctity of the holy Ka'bah while the blood of Muslim believers is shed by those who take command from him. For Allah (may His name be exalted) to accept any act of ibadah from His servant, that servant must be just. Allah (swt) had said in Surat al-Israa that "he who kills an innocent soul it is as if he has killed the whole of humanity".
Dear Mr. President, for your umrah and acts of ibadah to be accepted, you must perform "pilgrimage" to Zaria. By pilgrimage, we symbolically mean justice. What is holier and greater than the walls of the holy Ka'bah was destroyed in Zaria. The Ka'bah of the believer was destroyed in Zaria. It is of essence that justice prevails and the blood of the innocent get justice before you meet your Lord. A man at 73 years of age has few numbered years left to repent, that is if the repentance would even be accepted by the Almighty. Pilgrimage is at Zaria!
