ZariaMayhem:

The heavy gunfire and sounds of grenades all through the night suggests just one thing: both Shia and Soldiers are using guns.

But wait and see what Shaikh Ibrahim Zazzaky will say in a press conference, "We didn't use guns. We don't have guns."

Raising a gun against soldiers means raising gun against the Nigerian state. This people don't mean peace neither do they represent it.

They have enjoyed the lackadaisical look of previous governments who let them to believe they are above the law. Governments have been mild with them. They were given so much leeway to disturb people's normal activities and get away with it. I'm afraid the change mantra won't tolerate nonsense from anyone, any longer from now. The gesture or melodrama of the army since yesterday shows that everyone is urged to behave themselves henceforth.

After yesterday's brief face-off, this is the statement of the Nigerian army,

"...This kind of behaviour will not be tolerated from any individual or groups and should not be allowed to repeat itself".
The statement urged “all Nigerians to continue to be law abiding and remain conscious of other people’s right to life, freedom of movement and passage." From this statement comes the new "no nonsense" face this government is wearing.

Shaikh Zazzaky's followers had in 2013 blocked a then incumbent Governor, Alh Mukhtar Ramalan Yero from entering Gyallesu, a ward under his state of Kaduna. The Governor was made to get out of his car and trek into Gyallesu where he was heading. Because they got away freely with it, they decided to repeat it yesterday with the Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Tukur Buratai.

May Allah SWT grant us peace. May He save us all the trouble.
