Nigerian Army threatens to move against Shi’ite leaders over alleged inciting comments

The Nigerian Army has warned members of the Islamic Movement of Nigeria, to desist from making misleading comments, capable of breaching public peace and order.

This is contained in a statement issued by Army spokesman, Sani Usman.

“The Army is aware of clandestine campaign of calumny and misinformation on the incident of Dec.12, 2015 in Zaria.’’

He said that “a group of high ranking members of Islamic Movement of Nigeria (IMN), led by one Dr Abdullahi Danladi, a lecturer at Ahmadu Bello University Zaria,’’ was misrepresenting facts about the incident.

“He was at the university on Wednesday soliciting support and telling lies about the circumstances surrounding the incident and the incident itself.

“He also went further to make false and unfounded allegations of casualty figures and desecration of burial grounds.

“Dr Abdullahi Danladi and like minded individuals should be warned to desist from telling lies and misrepresentation of facts capable of misleading the general public.”

The statement said the actions of Mr. Danladi was preposterous and showed lack of concern and respect for peace and tranquility.

It said that the Army would not sit back and allow some mischievous elements in the society to further create unnecessary tension and disaffection in the society.

It urged the public to disregard the misleading campaign by the sect.

“This attitude will not be tolerated where people abuse their privileged position to mislead the public, create disaffection.

“Nigerians and indeed all well meaning people are please enjoined to be patient and await the outcome of the various enquiries instituted by various government and non-governmental agencies.”

The ugly truth is; the Nigerian Army is not to be blamed over the shiite massacre. We all watched the video where the shiite miscreants had a violent confrontation with the convoy of the COAS. To make matter worse, they were saying only Mallam (i.e Sheik Zakzaky) could order them to give way. The question is; who tha f.uck is Sheik Zakzaky in Nigeria? Since when did Nigeria turn to Lebanon or Iran? If an ordinary local imam could waylay a whole COAS in a secular Nation like Nigeria, and on a road built by the FG, then the Ayatollah of Iran had just been sworn in as the new President of Nigeria.

Instead of the foolish Sheik to chastise his miscreants & call them to order, they were bent on committing suicide by clashing with a standing Army over some religious myth & lies, watered & propagated by a blatant liar who claimed to have received some mind-boggling & brainwashing revelations from Angel Gabriel a.k.a Elohim Nusku - who coincidentally happened to be 1 of the Anunnaki extraterrestrials that came to Earth from the Planet of Nibiru.

Africa is really doomed and we will never acknowledge the immense damage that religion has done to brainwash & transform our people into humanoid robots & zombies - Nna Mehn, I'm outta here!

[b]PRESS STATEMENT: The army bent on trampling on our right to freedom of speech

Thursday, 24 December 2015 15:25

This is in response to the press statement issued by the Army Spokesperson, Colonel Sani Kukasheka Usman, in which he accused the Islamic Movement in Nigeria and in particular Dr. Abdullahi Danladi of Ahmadu Bello University Zaria of campaign of calumny and miss-information.

Not satisfied with the incessant violation of human rights vividly displayed by the Nigerian Army in its indiscriminate killing of armless civilians, including women and children, Colonel Kukasheka Usman is now further engaging in another round of violating a citizens right to express himself.

Whatever Dr Abdullahi Danladi might have said that is provoking a threat to his life by the Army Spokesperson would not be anything less than what several human right groups especially the Human Rights Watch have stated. This is because the Army had earlier underestimated the responsiveness and pro-activeness of the Islamic Movement in its efforts to cover-up its mess and now that everything is coming out to the bare the Army is jittery with the outcome.

Hence, what is now left for the Army and the government is to threaten the lives or even eliminate those they could blame for letting the world know of their crimes instead of taking corrective measures. We call on all well meaning individuals and groups to rise against this gross violation of human rights and remind the Army that Nigeria is under a democracy and every person has the right to express himself and give account of what he knows especially of the military atrocity on the Islamic Movement in Nigeria.

It is the duty of Nigerians to say no to impunity and misuse of office by the Army Spokesperson to threaten lives of individuals especially those who stand against injustice.

Finally, we see this as a signal of the armys intent to silence anybody that dares says anything that does not portray the Army in good light even after the atrocity committed.

If i loose 2015 elections baboons and dogs will be soaked in blood - Buhari

He won 2015 elections.

Baboons and dogs will still be soaked in blood regardless, the soaking just started - Buhari.

the war between the sunni and shia muslim communities has a political undertone. Its the same in all muslim countries round the world.

So all this while they never moved against them? The army should be held responsible if those guys become terorrists.


Now @mods, im not in anyway supporting violence by this post. Please try to understand what people mean before banning them

Anything about any islamic group does not ring a bell about anything good, to the world. They are known for trouble everywhere they are! Kudos to the Army! They should show those islamists who's boss!

Tomorrow apc will look for Gej to blame for boko haram group 2.

It remains a pity that you people try hard to frame a clash between the NA and a group (which automatically doesn't represent all shias in Nigeria) as a clash between sunni and shiites. Such claims are misguided and rooted in mischief.

Yeah,that is where their strength is showcased.
Toothless bulldogs

The major problem we are having these days in Nigeria is d religious leaders, they preach a lot of falsehood n they know they have gullible followers do they prey on their gullibility telling dem they are only in dis world cos of religion

What right does NA has to threaten a citizen who is trying to express himself, if they feel that the man is going against any law or any lay down rules, it is equally their right to sue him to court or are they no courts anymore or would they go and kill him as if we are in a military regime.. .

Talking about court Not reliable

Haven't you observed that this forum is getting boring since seun installed and started acting on that rule 9?

after having a meeting with buhari

The shia should arm themselves for self defence against our terrorist military.

For up to 8 yes there have not been significant peace in the country just because of Muslims presence. All I can say is that "there was a country" the zoo must fall

I didn't know there were many closet shia s in eastern Nigeria.See the show of love and concern from IGBO land.Nice one.

The killings of shitte in zaria has nothing to do with the sunni. Shitte are claiming an authority and they think they are above the law. what ever kind of law stated in the country the shitte can boast of goiin against it, they dont ask but they take, they feel they are unstoppable.
Stopping high profile men from passage was a normal thing, even when they are not performing any occation as long as their leader is passing, then every body must stop.
the shitte once stopped late rilwanu lukman former minister of petroleum from passage, he has to turn back and cancel his appointment. Followed by the emire of zaria as it even went brutal when his body guards tried using force, the king manage to escape the scene with broken glasses on his car. Earlier this year they stopped a whole governor yero from passage as he was patient and ask his security men not to take any actions. Finally they went further to stop a whole COAS, meeehn they have gone too far this time.

It is obvious that the killings of shitte was not just because they refuse to give passage, but because they where on the black list of this government. there cannot be two government in a country, one must fall. the government have security report of weapons they posseses, they have security report of soldiers his raising, the shitte is a treat to this givernment.

Finally, what I observe with nigerian soldiers is that it dosnt matter whether if you are shitte or sunni, whether christian or pagan, whether ipob or massob, whether hausa , yoruba or igbo, if you mess up with them, they will just waste you.

Nigerian army with buratai as leader are murderers

Okk
