President of the Human Rights on Non-Violent Initiative, a Civil Society Organisation, Muhammad Idris has accused the Islamic Movement in Nigeria also known as Shi’ite of being the source of Boko Haram in the country.

The Nigerian Army has come under scrutiny for what is described as violation of human rights in the role it played to contain the recent clash with Shi’ite members in Zaria where another CSO has advocated that the Chief of Army Staff vacate his office pending the determination of investigation into the matter.

Speaking Thursday however in Kaduna ‎when he led members of his group on a solidarity visit to the General Officer Commanding 1 Mechanized Division, Nigerian Army, Major General Adeniyi Oyebade Kaduna commended the Nigerian Army for its role in the recent clash between the Army and Shiite.

He ‎said the Nigerian Military is the only remaining tool to defend democracy, peace and unity of the country.

“Boko Haram started by the Shi’ite group in 1997, the Shi’ite group is the source of Boko Haram if you go back in history, it is documented, some of them fled to Maidiguri, hide somewhere and regrouped where they later became a terror, fighting government and killing both civilians and military, destroying property and raping innocent women.



“I as an indigene of Borno state from the town of Maidiguri can say that, the change we have seen in our area with the coming of the present administration is more than 100 per cent and the Nigerian Army deserves a Diamond medal, if a terrorist group that started in 2009 as documented

“What happened in Zaria, Kaduna state, is a proven testimony that the military has the adequate intelligence and more informations a, bout happenings in the country. Any group who does what the Shi’ite did is not threading the part to peace and progress of this country.

“We as Nigerians, are under one constitution‎, the Shi’ite group were trying to create violence when they attcked the convoy of the COAS and we appreciate the quick action taken by the Nigerian Army and pray that the group is brought under control because we believe our country is now on focus.

“‎We support and throw our weight behind the military authority on any action they decide to take against the Shi’ite or another other group aiming to bridge the peace and unity in the country.

“Before Lieutenant General Tukur Buruti came, Boko Haram were everywhere, if you are a father, you are afraid for your daughter, a husband will see his wife being taken away by members of Boko Haram but has no right to stop them for fear of his life, but with the coming of the present administration, Boko Haram is gradually become past tense and are winning the war against terrorism,” he said.

He noted that the initiative will ensure it gives the general public adequate awareness on the issue with a view to changing the way the army is being misunderstood.

On his part, the GOC, Major General Adeniyi Oyebade opened up on the clash saying he lost a soldier during the incident.

“My soldier was killed in the attack and many others were injured who are presently receiving treatment in the hospital. During the Cordon and Search operation carried out in the residence of El-Zakzaky and two other strong holds of the Shi’ite, we tried to get in touch with Zakzaky to stop his members from attacking us, but some people who answered my call, refused to let us talk to him.

“We took actions according to the rules of engagement as soldiers were being attacked by the Militant Wing of the sect known as the Hurra’s.

“We know what it means to preserve life because the life of a human being is sacrosanct, but we have paid the supreme price to secure this country.”

He noted that after the cordon and search operations, residents of Zaria came out in their hundreds chanting and praying for the army which they said has released them from bondage they have been in for many years.

He urged Nigerians pointing accusing fingers on the Nigerian Army to go to Zaria if they want to know what happened there.

Hmmmm

I just dey reason wetin this guy for dey talk if these actions were taken under gej administration, the action by the military though being a welcome development can also lead to another terror.

Na so i hear am tooo ooo

Another lie, even on Christmas day for God sake!
People y'all gotta be reasonable, Shi'a and sunni Islam has problem for centuries. People that doesnt pray alike and accept the caliphate of Sunni Islam, how do you think a sect of Sunni Islam can allow Shia to live , terrorise people and work amongst them?

Why APC day deceive una like this? Abi them wan say na kwariji muslim? Those ones no day naija na!

those people in zaira are very happy for the military intervention ...

If true? Then they all deserve to DIE!

I know for sure that the same military whom this administration cried out over lack of weaponry can never defeat BH... The praises should be channelled to the local vigilante who has in many times been confronting the islamic sect with local made weapons....

Again, APC should stop this propaganda... They have been coming up with many lies to brainwash it's followers....
..
-No weapons to fight BH.
-FG to negotiate with BH.
-FG gave NA 31st dec deadline.
-BH have been defeated.

This lies doesn't add up...

How can Shiite(shia) be source of BH?
BH follows the Sunni(wahabbi) doctrine, same as ISIL, alshabab and other terrorist group.
This issue is all about Northern Sunnis trying to exterminate Nothern Shiites. Sad the army got involved and took sides with the dominant group.

But mahamed Yusuf is a Sunnis how come or army are trying to cover there massacre thrugh this man

Only APC's National Newspaper can carry this fake and useless lie of a story. It's so very embarrassing that an obvious lie that Shiite are responsible for Boko Haram will be printed irrespective of who said it.

Ohh please.

Bokos are Sunnis

When muslims lie you will doubt your sanity

Watching in 3D

Crap

The Nation is by far the worst newspaper ever in circulation.

sunni is ISIS, BOKHARM, BOKHARI
