Shi’te Women in Jos, Plateau State have
held a peaceful demonstration, calling for
the unconditional release of their leader,
Sheikh Ibrahim Zakzaky, his wife and their
other members that were wounded and
still being detained by the Nigerian Army,
so that they can be given proper
treatment.
They have also called for the release of the
corpses of those that were killed so that
they can be buried according to Islamic
rite.
The women, numbering hundreds and
dressed in overall black attires, who
warned that they were prepared to defend
their religion with their blood, their lives
and all their possessions, took their
procession from their headquarters at
Angwa Rogo and marched through Bauchi
road to the Central Mosque holding the
posters of their leader Zakzaky, while
chanting songs demanding for his release
and for justice to be done.
Speaking to journalists at the Central
Mosque at Masalachi Jummah, the leader
of the women, Malama Hajia Lubabatu
Ladan, said “we are ready to use our
blood, our lives and all we have to defend
our religion because that is what Allah has
decreed. And the Nigerian Army should
know they have attacked harmless people
and Allah will avenge for us.”
She said the procession was to show their
solidarity with their movement and to
condemn what happened between
December 12 and 14, 2015, adding that
“the soldiers had said our people blocked
road and prevented them from passing
through. But we believe that the whole
thing was pre-planned because they killed
those they said blocked the road and
entered our headquarters and killed our
men, women and children too, and also
bombed the place.
“As if that was not enough for them, they
went to the house of our religious leader,
Alhaji Ibrahim Zakzaky and also killed
women and children. In the history of
Nigeria, no group has been so treated. We
are not a sect. We are just a group of
Muslims or an Islamic movement calling
on people to come back to the ways of
Allah.
“Some of our women were arrested, others
were raped and then killed and their
remains burnt. They went to ABU Teaching
Hospital in Shika and collection some of
the corpses that were taken there and gave
them mass burial in order to hide the
atrocities they have committed.
“The Federal Republic of Nigeria did not
stipulate that people should be killed for
blocking road; at worst they will be
charged to court. They have not been fair
to us. We are calling on the federal
government to release our religious leader
and his wife that were shot and taken
away.
“More than 1,000 of our people were shot
last year, three of his (Zakzaky’s) children
were killed; this time again three of them
were killed. We are not allowed access to
those that were wounded for us to look
after them for medical care, and they did
not give us the corpses of those killed for
us to bury them according the Islamic
injunction”, she lamented. |

I pray these shiites of a thing won't be worse than Boko Haram. The security personnel should be very careful in dealing with this cos the first huge attack of Boko Haram was in 2009,few months after they killed Muhammed Yusuf(Boko leader) |
