The leader of the Shi’ite Islamic group in Nigeria, Ibrahim El-zakzaky, has been arraigned at the Chief Magistrate Court 1, Zaria Road, Kaduna and charged with criminal conspiracy and inciting public disturbances.

El-zakzaky who was arraigned alongside some followers by the police, was however remanded in prison custody.

It could not be confirmed if the plea of the accused was taken or if they had legal representation.

The Force Public Relations Officer, Olabisi Kolawole, told our correspondent on Tuesday that the Shi’ite leader was being prosecuted for incitement and public disturbances among other charges.

She said, “The Shi’ite leader has been arraigned in court where he was charged with criminal conspiracy, inciting public disturbances among others; he has been remanded in prison custody and the case adjourned.”

The Shi’ite members had had a clash with the Army about two weeks ago during which about 20 persons were killed.

El-zakzaky was subsequently taken into custody by the Army before he was released to the police for investigation.

The Army had accused the Shi’ite group of attempting to assassinate the Chief of Army Staff, Tukur Buratai, but the Islamic movement said the soldiers simply attacked “defenseless people.”

Following the bloody clash, armoured tanks were said to have demolished the Hussainiyya shrine and the residence of the leader of the sect in Zaria.

hmmmm..... God help us in this nation.

Different problems from different groups everyday amid our economic recession, and frustrations from international communities. God bless Nigeria.

Witch hunting continues...

Boko Haram in the North, Niger Delta militants in the south south, IPOB in the south east, fulani herdsmen in North central..and now Shiite in the north.

Let us keep political affiliation aside, this Government needs serious prayers for divine direction. They need prayers to make the right calls!

If this issue is not handled carefully, we might see another terrorist group in the making. The time to act is NOW!

Pidggin:
Witch hunting continues...

yea until the last witch is burnt down on stake..........

First Buhari and Buratai murder 300 shiite muslims and bury them in unmarked grave unceremoniously.

Not enough, they demolish their place of worship, resident and even cemetry unlawfully.

Not enough, they inflict grevious bodily harm on El zakzaky, whilst they murder his three sons in his presence and shoot his wife. Till date, nobody knows if she survived or died, becos the army carried her away with the husband.

Then they hold him in extrajudicial detention without charge for over four weeks, whilst they deny he is in their custody only to charge him with Criminal Conspiracy.

The question we all are asking is Criminal conspiracy to do what exactly? El zakzaky is a Nigerian that have remained peaceful in all his endeavours even in the face of provocation.


Buhari, Buhari, Buhari, how many times I call you?

He should be charged for terrorism and treason.

This is getting interesting

No more bringing perpetrators to book as was the practice under GEJ

Now, both the would be perpetrators, sponsors of perpetrators and perpetrators them selves are dealth with.

Farnsworth:
Persecution by Buhari towards people that disagree with him, he locked Fela in, for speaking the truth about him, he is at it again and this time Nigerians are in full support.

I hope u are not talking about Muslim North that will support anything to retain power?

Muslim need to learn from Christian how to tolerate , we invite Jehovah's witness to our home ever thus they don't believe that we will all go to heaven they don't even believe in hell fire yet welcome them in our home , the are some building that contain more than five differ domination yet the worship every Sunday without fighting themselves , i wonder what will happened if shi'a and Sunni have mosque close together , im aback that many Muslim are very happy with what is going on with their brother , they ever tag shia as non Muslim called them Jews and pagans because of the little differ the have with each other , the funny thing is that same Muslim will happy any time the heard a shia country Iran say the will destroy Israel and also happy that Iran is developing nuclear bomb that the will use to wipe out Israel but any time the remember its a shia nation they all become very sad and angry my prayer for u is MAY My SWEET LORD give u PEACE Of heart

Great decision

So you are now an Hausa Sympathizer confused wailer. Cos if Buhari had supported them you would have been wailing islamization

Nigeria fails to learn from her mistake

Late Yar Adua from Katsina ignited BH

Buhari from Katsina towing that path

O God we are in your hands



Jonathan remain blessed.

Buhari should satisfy himself, the judgement will come all at once.



Presidency is not forever, u dont turn the law into a political instrument to wield at will on all who does not fall in line with your ideology.

Nigeria I hail

How which buhari can rule for 100 years ar 4 happy....seriouslly i always happy wit #buhari#God almighty will protect u...
Ijn

Same magistrate court and less charge as with Nnamdi Kanu.

They'd later withdraw the case and charge to a higher court ith severe charges.

All of these in a bid to waste/buy time.

Oh yeah, this time, the police is in charge of this. Not the DSS.



Same story line people. Same story line.

finally d opportunity they have been waiting for to stem d growth of shiites in zoogeria has arrive.

clearly d road block incident was d perfect excuse they have been waiting for to nail d man. It was premaditated. Only a guilty concience will massacre over 300 civilians and huriedly bury them in mass graves.

I honestly agree with you that this administration need everyone prayers and good contributions. Also, it appears weighty because over the years, lawlessness has forster in the land and groups assume power than the Govt.

May you be arrested and charged with a case you never committed....Amen!!

So you actually believed over 300 people that was killed fought the Soldiers and were armed that no casualty on the part of the soilders.

Am happy when northerners and Muslim kill themselves they are nuisance to humanity

Try asking those who have met them during their processions and have intended to demand their rights to passage or movement.....i heard they usually share doves and sweets to such complainants. I have received such in the past from them....very 'peaceful' indeed....

I am against impunity


But Buhari's administration has not done anything without a reason so far

First it was Minister of Petroleum, people cried

Then Dasuki ,people screamed as well, but when facts emerged , the ringtone changed


There's something else going on with Zaky Zaky it is not religious hate or intolerance for another faith , I believe that soon more facts will emerge


Is it just me or is anybody thinking Buhari announced technical defeat of Boko haram after zaky zaky saga ?

I may be wrong, it's just a speculation, but i strongly believe there's more to this story that we do not know

Are you sure this guy is not dead? Has any of his family members visit him in the prison?

It is "north" my concern.
