One human rights activist in Zaria alleged that,
between December 12th and the 14th 2015,
Nigerian troops engaged in a systematic assault
against Shiites in Zaria, massacring tons of
them
and damaging their property. The soldiers
hunted
down the sect’s leader, Sheik Zakzaky, who had
fled to his residence for fear of his life. Earlier,
SaharaReporters had obtained a recorded phone
conversation in which Sheik Zakzaky told an
unidentified Iranian official about the gunfire
around his residence and the military’s attempt
to abduct him.
When the Nigerian military captured the sheik,
they kept incommunicado at a military facility
within Kaduna State, denying him access to
legal
counsel and members of his family. One of the
sheik’s sons told SaharaReporters that it was
unclear whether his missing siblings were dead,
alive, or in detention.
Sheik Zakzaky has been reportedly handed over
to the Nigerian police after being held unlawfully
in military detention for more than one week.
Human Rights Watch (HRW), Shiite members
and
other civil society organizations have reported
that at least 300 Shiites perished in the military
attack, but an exact casualty count has not
been
made. Part of the reason is that the military
buried many of the victims in mass graves.
According to Human Rights Watch, “it is almost
impossible to see how a roadblock by angry
young men could justify the killings of hundreds
of people. At best it was a brutal overreaction
and at worst it was a planned attack on the
minority Shia group.”
The military has justified their brutal attack by
claiming that the Shiite protesters had planned
to assassinate Army Chief of Staff, General
Tukur Buratai.
The photos obtained by SaharaReporters
capture
the widespread destruction of Shiite homes and
sites. They also suggest that the military
specifically targeted personal property belonging
to Sheik Zakzaky.
“You will see that a social club recently
purchased by Sheik Zakzaky is one of the
structures the military targeted for utter
destruction,” one Shiite spokesman told
SaharaReporters.
The same source also alleged that the military
exhumed the bodies of three of Sheik Zakzaky’s
brothers from their graves, and took away their
remains to an unknown location.
Another source claimed that the soldiers
targeted the tomb of Sheik Zakzaky’s
grandmother, with the intent of exhuming her
remains as well.
Earlier this week, Nigerian human rights lawyer,
Femi Falana, called for the prosecution of
General Staff Buratai, for his role in the
massacre.
One Shiite member told SaharaReporters that
the army’s operation “showed there was a clear
attempt by the military to wipe out our sect
once and for all,” adding, “The military is now
trying hard to cover up their crimes.”

I believe that the Government will not do anything without a reasonable reasons.

I understand why they give December deadline to dislodge all BH territory.

Let's try and get our facts right because you and I can never tell the true identity of the BH sponsor.

There's always a reason behind any action taken


My believe

EzePromoe:
Buhari is signing his date with the ICC. Up until this moment, Iran was a friend to Nigeria, but with this relationship has just gone sour. I don't know who is really advising him to take some of the decisions he's taking.
