Tell em..

They deserve it. Only a madman that fights a man with a gun. Military men are trained to kill for they are for war. How can these mad people in the name of religion barricade the highway and refuse warmed soldiers with their boss not to pass. This is pure madness and good they were gunned down.

I disagree.

marleyboy1991:
Bro...what are you saying..
We know they are brutal...but you can't handle Nigerians with American or British army mentality..
This is Africa.....
These same set of military personels are going through hard time in maiduguri and other violent places...they don't have access to their kids..,their lovers..,the comfort of their homes...they can't even celebrate xmas..just for you dumb Bleep to be safe...
Imagine there was no army to stop boko haram since they started their madness?

Please don't compare British or American army here. If you block the road whether for secular or religious purpose, its the citizens themselves that will sue and jail you in those places you mentioned. The Northern Nigeria is religious but poor. Whose fault? Lack of education breeds poverty with ignorance.

If you try this shit with British or American police you are done for! Not to say their army. Habawa!

I did not take any position until I watched the video clip of what actually transpired between the military and the shiite muslim youths on youtube. I advise those taking blank positions to go watch the video and possibly change their views. There is nowhere in the whole world where a set of civilians under any guise will confront the military, especially the topmost heirachy of the army and get away with it. Those military topshots were frantically begging those dudes for right of passage for close to 30 minutes and they bluntly refused. They were all armed with sticks, stones and other small arms. If they had succeeded in preventing the convoy of the COAS from passing thru, it would have made a mockery of our securty system and those guys could even have attempted to abduct the COAS and we all should understand the implications of this. You don't put barricades on a major highway in order to celebrate a remembrance.

Now am convinced that a secret war is being waged on the shia community through the military. Is it a coincidence that 6 of Zakzaky's children were killed by the Nigerian army Children that may end up as leaders or even taken over leadership of the shiite group after their father. Something is going on. This is wickedness of the highest order.

wetin I like with this una shiite is the "auren mutu'ah, so every conference that I willgo I'll have a temporary wife 2ndly I want 2 be malam too so that every young girl that will be given out for marriege they must bring her to me for 1 week so that I (malam) will "sa mata albarka" 3rdly any where I go and meet a member he'll give me his wife for. 1 night....... U guys have real brotherhood, pls I. Want 2 join una but 2 start as malam that will be "sa ma albarka" toyoung girls

Charly68:
Indeed this religious fanatics tested the will of the new military order ...they must have thought it was business as usual,hence the fatal consequence ..Why would a bloody civilian dared to waylay a moving army General with convoys of armed soldiers..if the Boys fumbled and the shiltes men killed the chief of Army Staff that would have been automatic death for the boys..As a matter of fact you don't point a gun at a soldier & expect him to spare you dead or alive .

It's funny how Ur 'new military order' hasn't been able to confront Boko Haram. It is common knowledge that the cowards run away from Boko Haram. For those of you who support evil, you might be the next victim

zakzaky and his arrogant poeple have tested what they deserved its a lesson for any other person to test the integrity of our able army.

And what has Buhari done about this? Apc clueless noise makers

What happened to using tear-gas to disperse them instead of firing point-blank? They even returned in the night with armored tanks to perpetrate the large scale massacre.

Man's Inhumanity To Man!

They all got one thing in common. . . That gansta lean!

Is that a father sacrificing his children? Fowls and ducks protect theirs. What's the essence of his existence now, if not terrorism.

so those underage boys were carrying guns? you have evidence? please give us.

Are you trying to tell us that those fanatics are law abiding citizens of this country? Truly truly I tell you, those guys have been very lawless in Kaduna state. Read the Kaduna state governor's broadcast here:

State broadcast ON THE CLASH BETWEEN THE ARMY AND SHIITES:
Text of State broadcast by Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, Governor of Kaduna State, on the recent security issues in Zaria; 17
December 2015

Dear People of Kaduna State, We have witnessed sad events in Zaria and a part of Kaduna metropolis over the last few days. As your Governor, it is my duty to address you on the incidents, and explain the events that preceded the tragedy of last weekend. We shall also outline how we intend to prevent a recurrence.
As you are aware, military operations have taken place in Zaria between Saturday, 12 December and Monday, 14 December 2015. There have been tragic consequences and needless loss of lives, and we extend our condolences to the families that have been affected. In this sombre moment, we have also directed that steps be taken to address the humanitarian fallouts of the operations. The State Government is carrying out after action review of the theatre of operations with a view to compensating those whose vehicles, real property and other assets were damaged as a result.

The Kaduna State Government has been informed that on Saturday, 12 December 2015, the convoy of the Chief of Army Staff, Lt. General Tukur Buratai, reported an ambush and attempted assassination at a roadblock mounted by members of Sheikh Ibrahim El-Zakzaky's Islamic Movement of Nigeria. Clashes broke out as soldiers mounted operations to repel the attack, remove the obstruction to a major public highway, and to contain and arrest the perpetrators. When the security agencies sent reports of the clash to me a little after 3pm on that day, I initiated steps that I thought could calm the situation. I called Sheikh Ibrahim El-Zakzaky on the phone to get his side of the story, and thereafter visited Zaria for on-the-spot briefing and assessment and visited the Chief of Army Staff.

The army and the police have since addressed the press on the security operations and the aftermath. We have also seen video clips aired on national television and online to show the extent to which the Nigerian Army tried to reason with the persons that were intent on obstructing a public highway without any justification. The avoidable weekend tragedy in Zaria has a background based on information available to the Kaduna State Government.

What the Kaduna State Government has learnt Based on reports from government organs and security agencies, we have learnt the following:
• There had been tension in parts of Zaria since Thursday, 10 December 2015, when members of the Islamic Movement of Nigeria were alleged to have attacked Gabari, a community on the outskirts of Zaria, in continuation of a dispute over a mosque. Like the previous attack, this
second assault on Gabari also took three lives. The alleged bone of contention was that the El-Zakzaky movement wanted to take over a mosque they did not build in Gabari.The mosque had been sealed by the authorities following the collapse of the arrangements that had enabled various sects to amicably share its usage.
• In the last two weeks, the Islamic Movement of Nigeria has also illegally occupied federal roads. Over a period of four days, they took over one side of the federal expressway between Kaduna and Zaria, and the roads to Kano and Katsina. They entered schools along these routes, using them as rest and recreation points without notice or permission or any concern about the disruption of academic activities.
• The Husainiyah building, the headquarters of the Islamic Movement of Nigeria, was put up without statutory title to the land, and in outright defiance of a stop-work notice issued by KASUPDA in 2010. When KASUPDA followed up with a demolition notice in the same year, the then
authorities chose to look the other way, and allowed the sect to complete a building that had neither title nor planning approval, and which the appropriate agency had determined was in violation of planning and development regulations.
• The successful completion of this illegal building on a major road subsequently led to a pattern of inconveniences being inflicted on members of the general public. There were various reports and complaints that the sect was harassing members of the public, and inflicting hardship on
commuters. At their headquarters and in other areas where Zakzaky’s movement had structures, they had tried to forcibly acquire the property of their neighbours; this is apart from subjecting residents to an illegal curfew.
• Government also received reports that the Islamic Movement of Nigeria acted like a parallel state, with total disdain for the formal structures of the Nigerian government and little regard for the rights of non-members. Whenever community, traditional or political leaders invite the sect to dispute resolution meetings, they often declined the invitations. In addition, members of the movement are alleged to openly carry and use offensive weapons.
• Following the Zaria incident, Shiite members of the Islamic Movement of Nigeria have tried to upset the peace in parts of Kaduna. The security forces have responded firmly to the situation in the Tudun Wada area of Kaduna Metropolis. Violent actions by sect members on Tuesday, 15 December 2016, included the use of Molotov cocktails and petrol bombs against the security forces. Judicial Commission of Inquiry to be established As the security operations in Zaria are wound-down, the Kaduna State Government is persuaded that it is vital, for reasons of accountability and transparency, that a factual and authoritative account of the events be painstakingly assembled. The Kaduna State Government has therefore decided that under the powers conferred on me by the Tribunals of Inquiry Act, a Judicial Commission of Inquiry
will be established to examine the remote and immediate causes of the Zaria incident. This inquiry will be open and will enable all allegations and claims to be tested with judicial rigour. The government will act promptly on the conclusions of the inquiry, and forward recommendations
requiring action by the Federal Government to Mr. President. Details of the composition and terms of reference of the judicial commission of inquiry would be made public within the next two weeks. Commitment to security and constitutional rights In the meantime, Government reiterates that it cannot permit an escalation of lawlessness. Therefore, civil security patrols, supported by the military when necessary, will
continue to enable the state to maintain order, reassure residents and keep the peace. Our government continues to invest heavily in security as a foundation for the successful execution of our economic and social agenda to develop Kaduna State.

Fellow citizens, Kaduna State has witnessed too many upheavals in its recent history. These tragedies have taken too many lives, maimed people, destroyed communities and hurt development. We all should jointly say no to actions that divide people, reject conduct that ignores or violates the legal and constitutional rights of others and oppose practices that contest the prerogatives of state institutions to safeguard and protect every citizen. Everyone has a fundamental right to their faiths and beliefs, but no one has any right to practise their faith in ways that
diminish, distress or inconvenience others. And no one can be allowed to justify unlawful and anti-social behaviour on the grounds of religion. Only conduct that conforms to the Constitution and the laws of the country is valid, and it is the duty of the state to vigorously enforce that. No responsible leader or institution should teach their followers differently. Henceforth, no person or group, under any guise will be allowed to block any road, obstruct public highways, occupy public facilities or inconvenience citizens in Kaduna State. Anybody that needs to march may do so, but they cannot take over public facilities or disrupt social services and commercial activities in Kaduna State, and any march or procession can be undertaken only with the prior knowledge of, and protection of the police to prevent the breakdown of law and order. The Government wishes to assure every resident of Kaduna State that it is committed to fostering harmony, maintaining law and order and keeping the peace. Our Constitution rightly protects the freedom of worship, as well as the right to liberty, security and the pursuit of happiness. Everyone is entitled to these rights equally. We swore to uphold the Constitution, and our commitment to these values is unwavering. We will similarly protect these rights evenly. We urge all citizens to be vigilant as they go about their normal activities, and to report any suspicions or concerns to the appropriate authorities. Let us all redouble our commitment to sustaining the peace, and to uphold each other in our God-given humanity.
While the crisis raged, the Kaduna State Government visited Zaria, and issued appeals for calm and peace. We have taken our time to make this formal broadcast due to the imperative to gather as much information as possible amidst the welter of conflicting claims, the urgency of
restoring peace and the need to consult with the federal authorities.

God bless Kaduna State
God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria
May the souls of the departed find peace
May the Almighty God Restore and Preserve Peace throughout our state and country, Amen.

Yes o and at a checkpoint they asked a couple to start observing degrading punishments! They're cowards! Only cowards attack defenceless people unprovoked!

i even heard this about a old man coming from his farm with bunch of banana, he passed through the checkpoint and out of kindness offered the NA some bananas and the next thing the askd him was "do we look like we're hungry" and he was ordered to eat the whole bunch right on that spot. You can imagine that hostility, old man for that matter.

madridguy:
You don't enter into a gun battle with a security man and expect him not to shut you dead. The man need to re brand himself and talk to his member on how to behave with security agent. 3 sons under GEJ, 3 again under PMB, so pathetic.

4 under gej, and presently 1 under PMB.

Potential bokoharams

Nigerian army dey play with mad man penis... Dey re heartless, do u tink sum1 livin' among humans will do sumtin like dat, dnt blame dem dey live inside d forest...

bettercreature:
Only God can console this man,he has valid reasons to go into terrorism

reasons like what? You guys keep condemning d Nigerian Army and making zakzaky like a defenceless victim here, do u know who this man is? His 4 sons with their father's backing engaged the Nigerian Army in a bloody shootout that claimed innocent people in a checkpoint in zaria 2 yrs ago, leading to d death of those boys, they tried to do that again last week, i schooled in zaria so I know these people very well. U don't battle d Nigerian Army and expect them not to spill ur blood.

So far their fight z in d northern part, am gud 2 watch hw it all pans out

Demmocrats:
Nigerian Army just gave birth to Boko Haram Version 2.


Those dudes doesn't forgive.



They only understand Moses style, an Eye for an Eye.


#Team_lays_those_kids_like_fowls. No wonder so many almajaris in the north, those dudes should learn family planning and stop creating nuisance for Nigeria.

He would had made it 7 sons to represent 7 days in a week. nonsense!

I tell u.

GANJAFARMER:
Governments all over the world do not do things like this all for mistake - While I would agree under democratic principles that it is sad to commit extra judicial murder it is also worthy to note that Governments all over the world would go to any length to sustain her integrity even at all cost.
Zazaky and his followers tested the waters and the govt.sent out a strong warning.

Thank you GANJAFARMER...Thank you very much!

Yes.

AnanseK:

how many did his sons kill?.

If the 'cowards' have not succeeded in thwarting the evil plans of the boko haram terrorists (that you dread but now subtly praise), you will not be comfortably seated at your desk to type this rubbish. I would have wish (but God forbid) for the soldiers to actually give way to boko haram so that you can 'peacefully' practice your brand or sect of religion you are deluding yourself in. I did not write believing but deluding because God is God of order and discipline but your shia guys do not have an iota of these. You deceive yourself in operating outside the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, but you have come to realise that the institutions of the constitution can ensure the sanctity of our binding document. Continue to degrade your God given intellect by succumbing to misleading teaching of some frustrated pastor or imam. A good follower of the shia leader will take his sons and mount another road blockade at kawo, kaduna to prevent the GOC from entering his office (and see if you will see the next day) and not come here to start calling your saviours cowards. And if you don't change your mindset about the nigerian army may the vengeance of fleeing boko haram foot soldiers fall on you and your family, amen and amen.

My question is this. When Buratai passed through the road where Shiites were making their procession, didn't the COAS sent his expert riders to clear the route as it is always done when a top ranking officer is expected to pass through his route and station some if the NA men to make sure no obstacle be it human or animals are cleared off the route? Not in support of Shiites anyway just asking. Since we are all know that it is bye norm when a top ranking military or police officer wants to visit a place, the route will be cleared for easy access

You're ranting. You've made absolutely no sense at all. Buhari murdered defenceless and unarmed civilians... He will face the consequences of his actions at The Hague soon.

The ways of the fundamentally ignorant is destruction. Those that doesn't learn from the past makes the mistakes of the past.
