The Kaduna State Governor, Mallam Nasiru El-Rufai, yesterday disclosed that the leader of the Islamic Movement of Nigeria, Sheikh Ibraheem El-Zakzaky, would be prosecuted for crimes he may have committed.

This is coming on the heels of a clash between followers of El-Zakzaky and the military in Zaria.

A recent clash had occurred between the convoy of the Chief of Army Staff, Lt. General Tukur Yusuf Buratai, and followers of the Islamic Movement of Nigeria who were said to have condoned off the highway during their annual procession.

The barricade and subsequent raid on the residence of El-Zakzaky reportedly led to the death of some of the latter’s followers, including his son.

Following the incident, the military immediately issued a press statement alleging that members of the sect wanted to assassinate Buratai.

Few days after El-Zakzaky’s residence was raided by the army, Governor El-Rufai announced the setting up of a judicial commission of inquiry to look into the clash between the Shiite members and the military. But the movement has expressed lack of confidence in the judicial commission of enquiry proposed by the governor to probe the clash.

El-Rufai, while addressing journalists on Saturday in Kaduna after Northern Governors, under the aegis of Northern States Governors’ Forum, NSGF, rose from their meeting convened to look into the clash between the military and Shiite members in Zaria, said, “The leader of the movement is in custody, he will be prosecuted for any crimes that he may have committed. But that is the decision for the federal authorities. There are state and federal crimes.”

“There is a government and a constitution and we are resolved to follow the constitution and due process,” he stated.

All i know is if anybody breaks the law, he should be punished for it no matter who he is.

Ok.

It may not have been the perfect response from the military but I will still pack the bulk of the blame on the Shiites. If not that we thrive in a lawless continent, how can a group of persons or people under the guise of religion put public facilities to ransom. Why must anyone barricade a road meant to be used by the public.
To cap it all, they now had the effrontery to confront the military and also threaten their lives. It is only a deranged man that will stare at the nozzle of a gun and will decide to dance in front of it.
Needless to say that the military also took steps to calming the situation in the first instance but these thugs still went ahead with their threats. Someone said after all they only had sticks and machetes, is it when they start cutting people's heads before they expect the military to react.
Lesson learned: Your 6 packs cannot act as an effective bulletproof.

This really coming from El-Rufai?









Adonbilivit!

I thought the army said Zakzaky is not in their custody?

Fingers crossed..... Watching

this is the same El zakzaky U went to meet in January this year to solicit his vote and that of his followers. this is too bad Mr. guvnor

Na 2day nigerians should jst prepare for 2016

Yes i concur.

No one should be above the law.

...and so fvcking what? ...because he solicited for votes in January means he should not speak the truth in December.SMH.

Before elections, you visit him, shake him and bend down to him; after elections, attack him, shoot him, beat him, kill his followers, demolish his houses that you visited him in (and call the building illegal) and demolish worship place and then want to take him to court. let us see which court will find this sheikh guilty of any "crime". let us see if procession/protest and practicing beliefs different from the majority is a crime in any democracy that deserves killings and prosecution. or may be Mr. El Rufai will have to take the sheikh to a military court?

what crime has a man whose followers clashed with the army last year, and have 30 of his members and three sons killed committed?

what crime has a man whose followers blocked a highway and got shot by soldiers committed?

what crime has a man whose house was attacked, after the army chief's convoy had passed committed?

what crime has a man whose worship center was attacked, after the army chief's convoy had passed committed?

what crime has a man whose followers got shot in cold blood and extra judicially committed?

what crime has a man who was shot along with his wife and son committed?

what crime has a man whose deputy was shot committed?

i think if anyone deserved prosecution it is Mr. El Rufai himself. and will those who killed civilians go scot-free? will they be made to face justice?

Mr. El-Rufai should find ways to make reconciliation and beg the man for the sins committed against him, his family members and his followers. not take him to court. this is a democracy. you dont send soldiers to kill people in their backyard and get arrested by soldiers as if you are fighting terrorists or a foreign army. if El Rufai doesnt seek reconciliation and how to make peace with this man and his organization, the below handshake will be a divine curse upon El Rfufai and his family till eternity.

when 30 members of zakzzaky's movement and three of his sons were killed last year, el rufai did not call for zakzaky to be prosecuted. he instead described the Nigeria Army as "Jonathanian Genocidal Army". what has changed Mr. EL Rufai?

Arrant nonsense...

If the state and federal govt insist on presecuting Zakzaky and his shiites followers for blocking the road, who will punish other religious groups for using the road as a prayer ground

They even killed his wife as if she also blocked the road

so because some people voted elrufai into power, they should not be punished if they commit a crime right? I bow for you oo.

Even though i dont like the Shiites, that guy is 100% right. Can you asnwer all those questions you asked? Aswer and get $200 from me.

Note: the asnwers must make sense

Yaradua's government killed Yusuf and gave us the Boko Haram problem today. When they eventually kill Zakzaky, they will blame the subsequent southern government.

What crime did he commit when he was not part of the procession. If the procession was illegal, was he warned earlier by the police? Has he been warned about previous processions in the past?

If the government is trying to justify it's illegality via this sham trial, it should also be prepared for the consequences. Later they will start begging for reconciliation and settlement when the issue has gone out of hand.

They should restrict their revolution to the Northern part of the country.

confused lots.

The answer lies in Sai chanji!

I am not aware of any 'crime' Sheikh Zakzaky has committed. Record shows that the FG, Military and Kaduna state government are the groups that have been committing attrocities against Sheikh Zakzaky and his group. I join the rest of the world to say...

[size=18pt]#Free Sheikh Zakzaky[/size]

I don't believe this could be coming from El Rufai

Somebody pls help me tell Gov. El-rufai that Rouhani is not GEJ. He should not push this too far.

Have no problem if this man is guilty or not but my challenge is that the governor said he set up judicial panel of enquiry and they are YET TO SUBMIT THEIR REPORT and this man is telling us that he would be prosecuted. Want to kill a dog? Give it a bad name.

After they begged on their knees for his forgiveness, and he refused, they are now pretending to be in control. Well, guess what Mr Dwarfai, the word on the street is that the IRG has put a bounty on ten APC leaders. You should be very careful, because I believe you will be one of the first to get a bullet in the head.

Nobody is above the law.
