Soldiers, Shi’ites Clash: El-zakzaky Blames Presidency by amsad19(m): 5:20am On Jul 29, 2014
The leader of the Islamic Movement in
Nigeria, Sheikh Ibraheem Zakzaky, has
accused the authorities in Abuja of killing
three of his sons and 32 others during a
procession in Zaria.
Sheikh Zakzaky who made the
allegations after the Eid prayer at
Husainiyyah baqiyyatullah, Zaria, said his
three sons where shot to death by one
Brigadier-General S. Okuh.
Meanwhile, the cleric’s three sons were
buried yesterday at Shuhada graveyard,
along Dembo Village in Zaria.
El-Zakzaky was speaking on the backdrop
of the current wave of killings in northern
Nigeria, saying that the Quds Day
shooting clearly indicated where the
orders came from.
“There is nothing like a religious group
taking up arms in Nigeria as they are
trying to make us believe. On our own
part, they came in broad daylight in their
military uniforms, fully armed with
military inscriptions on their vehicles and
committed arson and murder. From this
you will understand those killing innocent
citizens either in Birnin Gwari forest or
Zamfara and other places,” he said.
According to the Sheikh, it is
unbelievable that sporadic killings were
going with a democratically elected
government claiming to be ignorant of
the issue.
“There is nothing like Boko Haram killing
people; we cannot be fooled. Those in
authority are the sole authors of the
atrocities,” he added.
Commenting on how his sons were
targeted, Zakzaky said: “As they targeted
my sons for arrest, in the process they
killed one, Mahmoud, whom they shot in
the abdomen and he died. They also
arrested three others, Ahmad, Hamid and
Ali. Through a link, we demanded them
to release them to us, but the
Commandant of the Basawa military
barracks said he would not release them
but rather will take them to ABU
Teaching Hospital, Shika, for medication.
They were in good condition when they
were arrested. As they were boarding
them into the vehicle, he shot Ahmad
three times and threw him into the
vehicle.
“He was alive and talking, then, they
broke his arms and legs. They started
beating Ali, and while Hamid was trying
to protect him, they turned to Hamid and
stabbed him several times with knives,
even on his head. Ahmad was already
dead, but Hamid was still telling them
words and they shot Ali on his legs.
When they realized that Hamid was still
talking, they continued stabbing him with
knife until they made sure he was dead
before they reached the hospital. The
name of the person who shot them was
Brigadier-General S. Okuh; he is the C.O.
Engineer of Bassawa.
“When I demanded the release of my
sons through the GOC 1 Mechanised
Division, Okuh said he would release
them, but not alive. By Allah’s infinite
mercy, Ali is alive, he saw how his
brothers were brutally murdered before
his eyes. He is presently receiving
medical attention, as a result of
compound fracture on his leg, from the
several shootings on his leg.
“When this happened, people really
sympathised with me without the usual
display of difference instilled in them.
This is another calamity they brought
among the Muslims. They created groups
fighting one another on the basis of sect,
but with this nasty event the idea was
eradicated completely. We received
several condolences from the
government circle and even past leader.

The Drum keeps beating.
They know not the hurt.
The provocation of their action.
The implication of their inaction
The children weep in the deep
dark clouds creep on those asleep.
Nigeria slips and slips
Into the abyss ,
we creep and creep.
For those hacked in their sleep ,
Nigeria slips and slips
For those hit by the shots
Nigeria slips and slip
For those sick and ill
Nigeria slips and slips..............
Into the abyss
We creep and creep
As we creep and weep
A sweet voice came through
Oyo is rising again
oyo is rising again
We stopped creeping.
Then we woke up,
Into the abyss
We creep and creep


Please help spread the spirit of oyo around.
Omo odua must stop creeping towards disaster .
We must be ready to hop off this rickety vehicle before it crashes.
As a society,
It did not work yesterday ,
It is not working today,
It will not work tomorrow .
Enough of the experiment

If this says there is no bokoharam, then, he is one of the sponsors.

Its imposible for the military to just kill anyone without any reason. The children of the bokoharam cleric actualy shot at the soldiers.
