Next time, you too should lead another bunch of bastar.ds to block a public utility and the same shall be meted out to you.
I dare you.
Lawlessness begats high handedness.
Without impunity of lawless road blocking, there won't have been for attack.
Focus on the root cause and stop over dwelling on the reaction to the lawless action.

superstar1:
who bloody cares and where were you when the lawless group were forming van daam by blocking public property.
Is it not an irony that the same Nigerian Constitution , Authority and Sovereignty you and your Ayatollah claimed you do no recognise, is the same constitution you are trying to use to get justice.
The elites should have warned their over zealous youths that have formed the habit of blocking public roads and constituting nuisance to the community.
Likewise, they could have warned Ayatollah El Zakyzaky that he is not an invincible god.

Rossikk:
He did not run Zimbabwe aground. He saved Zimbabwe from eternal slavery to minority whites. Zimbabweans now own and cultivate their land, unlike the situation before, when a few whites cornered everything for themselves, and the blacks had to rent small, unfertile parcels of land from them to farm. Mugabe put a halt to all that. How many Africans owned land in Europe? he asked. The west imposed harsh economic sanctions on Zimbabwe for what they claimed was Mugabe's breach of the whites' 'human rights'. Zimbabwe suffered greatly from the sanctions but is now recovering slowly, with China an important ally. Most importantly, the people now own the land. Mugabe is an African hero of the first order.

saintaustine:
What kind of a father, haven noticed danger, would drop his children around that vicinity, and then go home to relax.
What stops him from taking the children back home and bringing them back in his car since transport fare has been ruled out.
Am highly disappointed in him, he ought to have known that his children would be safer with and around him.
He should stop lamenting, since, he didn't play his role well as a father.

kunle75:

‘How I lost 5 family members in Army/Shiites clash’

By Uthman Abubakar

[size=5pt]Malam Abubakar Zaki (left) lost his son-in-law, Buhari Bello Jega, and his grandniece, a 1.5 year-old Fatimah-Batula in the Zaria army-Shi’tes clash[/size]

Malam Abubakar Zaki lost two daughters, a niece, a grandniece and a son-in-law’s in the Army/Shiites clash in Zaria. Daily Trust interviewed him and he spoke of his grief, his thoughts on the tragic incident, and more. Excerpts:

Daily Trust: You are said to have lost two daughters and a number of family members during the Army/Shiites clash in Zaria two weeks ago. How many exactly did you lose?

Malam Abubakar Zaki: I lost five members of my family, actually. A’isha, my niece, who was the daughter of my late elder brother - he died, leaving her under my care as her uncle and guardian; my two daughters, Nusaiba and Fatimah; my grandniece, one-and-a-half-year-old Fatimah-Batula, who is the daughter of A’isha and my son-in-law, Buhari Bello Jega, who is a lecturer at the University of Abuja, who is the husband of A’isha. They add up to five.

DT: How did you receive the news of their death?

Zaki: With complete submission to the will of Allah. We believe that one day, everyone must die. It is only the cause of death that differs. I received the tragedy as a trial from Allah. They were killed unjustly and in a very brutal manner by soldiers. They never committed any offence. I have a strong belief that they are martyrs.

Nusaiba is a 200-level student at the University of Abuja, and her younger sister Fatima had just gained admission into the College of Education in Zuba. Some other family members, however, survived.

DT: When was the last time you saw your daughters, and other family members alive?

Zaki: Saturday, before the tragic Sunday. They left home in Gwagwalada in the evening and set out for Zaria, reaching by nightfall. They went for the change of flag ceremony, which is an annual event.

However, after news broke of the clash, and I was speaking to one of my daughters at about 6:00pm, she told me ‘Daddy, forgive us, as it will be hard for us to meet. I was shot in the stomach, and Aisha has been shot in the head.’

Buhari Jega, my in-law, was shot first and Fatima called my younger brother Abdullahi, who had escaped unhurt, to tell him people were being shot. He asked about her location and told her to stay quiet and out of sight. That was their last communication.

DT: Since the tragic incident, there have been expansive assortment of criticism and responses from Nigerians and even sections of the international community. How do you see them?

Zaki: Various individuals and organizations, especially human rights organizations, have expressed heartfelt sympathy, and condemned in very strong terms the killings, while maintaining that the killings were unnecessary. Killing of innocent disciples of Malam Zakzaky on the flimsy reason that they refused the Chief of Army Staff passage, shocked the entire nation, and even the international community.

Every citizen has a right to be protected and if he commits any offence or crime, he has a right to be arrested and brought before a court of law where he should be sentenced accordingly, not to be killed extra-judicially. Even the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) sympathized with us, and condemned the action of the Nigerian Army.

DT: Are you confident that justice will be served?

Zaki: We rest our case in Allah, to judge between truth and falsehood, and He will ensure justice. We are used to setting up of committees to do this or that. We have never seen the result of any of that. Even the committee set up during the administration of Goodluck Jonathan in respect of the killing of three children of Malam Zakzaky and 31 of our members last year, has borne no fruit to this day.

DT: Many Nigerians have expressed concern that the Shiite movement shows tendencies of extremism, perhaps growing to constitute security threats...

Zaki: There is no record whatsoever to show that Shiites pose security threats, or ever killed anyone. In fact, Malam Zakzaky has been applauded as a man of peace.
