Residents of Zaria, Kaduna State, yesterday accused leader of the Shiite Movement in Nigeria, Sheikh Ibraheem El-Zakzaky of running a parallel government, through which he brought untold hardship on them for over 20 years.

The residents called on the Federal Government to as a matter of urgency ban the Zakzaky-led Islamic movement from their communities.

Addressing a press conference in Kaduna, the spokesperson of the affected Zaria communities, Idris Mohammed Baba, alleged that members of the Shiite sect had held people in Zaria and Sabon Gari local government areas of the state hostage with impunity while they ran the parallel government in the country.

Baba also alleged that the Shiites had in May 2015, declared 24 youths persona non grata for challenging their activities in Gyellesu community where Zakzaky resides.

Narrating their ordeals in the hands of the Shiite followers for over 20 years in Zaria, Baba said, “my experience with Shiite followers is disastrous and terrible. At a point, Shiite boys threatened to kill me. There is one notorious Shiite boy call Ali, he is the leader of El-Zakzaky’s notorious boys who accompany him anywhere he goes.”

The spokesperson said members of the community were happy with the military action against the Shiite’s movement in Zaria about a fortnight ago because “we have fresh air now blowing in our areas.”

“Before, we couldn’t grant an interview to the world about the Shiite activities but now, we are sleeping with our two eyes closed. As a community, we wrote letters to the governments about the ungodly activities of the Shiites but no single action was taken. We no longer report Shiites to the police because they will never honour police or security invitation.

“These Shiites are authority unto themselves; they don’t respect authority, security and so on. We are Muslims but we discovered that Shiites activities are contrary to Islam. They carry dangerous weapons openly molesting innocent people in our areas. Human rights bodies should also look into our pains by Shiite sect,” he stated.

Alhaji Saidu Garba, one of the Gyallesu elders who also addressed journalists, lamented that the once booming economic activities in the area had been crippled due to the activities of members of the Shiite sect in the area.

According to Garba, “after El-Zakzaky was released from detention in 1999, he came and settled in Gyallesu and since then, there is no peace in our area.

“We thank Allah for touching the heart of government and the military for liberating us from Shiites untold hardship.

“Shiites killed many of our people who challenged their activities, we buried them and we couldn’t talk to the world because of their threat. We were living like slaves in our own land where the Shiite leader, Sheikh El-Zakzaky came and met us. We residents of Gyallesu are calling on the Federal government to ban Shiite movement in our community and Kaduna state as a whole. Government should put a stop to the Shiite’s ungodly activities in our area,” he said.

oduastates:
it does not mean that you should kill 300 people just like that

omooba969:


How should the situation have been resolved?

oduastates:


That question automatically means that you do not deserve a reply.

Automatically? What does that mean?

It would rather be honourable for you to simply admit that you lack the ability to task your brain & proffer a credible solution to the crisis.

Speaks volume of the ingenuity of your thought process.

Have a good day sir.

I've been thinking seriously on this issue...truth be told, if the Shiites are actually law abiding citizens as people claimed, the normalcy at the Northern part of the country would have been seriously jeopardized....series of violent protests would have been going on till now. But, the case is different as the immediate community hosting the Shiites is claiming peaceful atmosphere since the Army intervention..In all, peace of Nigeria is all we want

MyMouth:

I work in Zaria and am a Muslim. I passed where the violence took place about 2 hours before the action. Since that day, I have spoken with alot of people and I mean a lot of Zaria people basically Muslims, and no one spoke good about the shites, they were all happy with the actions of the army. The shites are really hated here!

vanunu:




If the shiites are bad as u people claim, how many people have they killed in their over 30yrs of existence. Do u know that in nonprimitive societies , if you kill over 300 animals, animal right groups must make sure that u end up in jail.

My observation during my short stay in nigeria is that nigerians especially those from the north, don't value human live at all , the believe in brutalizing the weak in their community.

hungryboy:
when it comes to the North,
Be careful of rushing into conclusions,
There is rivalry and deep seated hatred between Sunnis and Shittes,
Even if the Shittes did nothing wrong,
I don't see many Sunnis speaking good about them.

Descartes:
No amount of concorted propaganda will exonerate Burutai and his terrorist team call Zoogerian Army from alleged premeditated genocide in Zaria.

The perpetrators must be brought to book and finally jailed for life

omooba969:


What's the proof that the actions of the NA was premeditated?

Descartes:


Do you know that the Shia protesters got Intel that Burutai and Elrufai were about to declare war on their supreme leader?

When the time comes, the terrorists in kaki uniform called zoogerian Army and press-up/Instagram general Burutai must answer for the genocide they have perpetrated.

ICC awaits them and their accomplice in the presidency.

philGeo:
my brother, it is not war on muslim but some people who want to destroy your religion image, abi you are one of shiits guys?
