Buhari Government, Shi’ites Negotiating In Secret Over El-Zakzaky - Daily Post by dre11(op): 8:34am On Jul 26, 2019

The Federal Government has commenced negotiations with the Islamic Movement in Nigeria, IMN, over their demand for the release of their detained leader, Sheikh Ibraheem El-Zakzaky who has been held in security custody since 2015, a source has claimed.

This development was confirmed to DAILY POST on Thursday by a source within the top hierarchy of IMN in Abuja.

According to the source, the Federal Government has issued approval to mediators drawn from members of the diplomatic corps to meet with Sheikh El-Zakzaky with a view to resolving the impasse between the Muslim group and the Nigerian authorities.

“We have some negotiations going on behind the scenes through the intervention of some European countries who are interested in seeing the face-off between our group and the government resolved through dialogue.

“Members of the diplomatic corps here in Abuja have been working right round the clock to make resolving this matter a possibility. We have started interacting with the government in the background.

“The government, though reluctantly, has given some of the mediators in the matter concerning our movement necessary approval to meet with Sheikh El-Zakzaky so that progress can be made.

“The government is been persuaded to see reasons to stop the persecution of Sheikh El-Zakzaky and his followers,” the source told our correspondent.

DAILY POST reports that Sheikh El-Zakzaky, who is in his mid-sixties, lost his left eye when security forces raided his home in Zaria Kaduna state more than three years ago.

The raid started after Shi’ites had a clash with the convoy of the Chief of Army Staff, Lt.Gen Tukur Buratai, during a procession on the streets of Kaduna.

His wife also sustained serious wounds while more than 300 of his followers and three of his sons were killed in the violence that ensued.

The cleric has been kept in custody along with his wife and a large number of his followers ever since.

El-Zakzky’s followers have been holding protests mainly in Abuja since 2015, calling for his immediate release.

The Government is yet to confirm such negotiation.

Boko Haram wants Caliphate, Killer Fulani Herdsmen wants Ruga, Shiites want Islamization, IPOB wants freedom. Buhari federal government is negotiating with Boko Haram, negotiating with killer fulani herdsmen, and now negotiating with Shiites about their demands. When will they negotiate with IPOB that wants Biafra? You see, even when it comes to negotiating with terrorists, Buhari is still marginalizing the South East, wawu grin

I am not a fan of this present administration but the level of saboteurs in this present government is mind-boggling.

Someone in a position of power intentionally leaked this information to sabotage the whole process.

Well when you sow the wind, you reap the whirlwind.

It is said that only the stubborn fly follows the corpse to the grave. Buhari has followed El Zakaky into the grave.

Buhari should have released him when they court ordered him to. He could have even given him a conditional release and maybe request that he visits the DSS office like twice a week.

Now he has been forced into negotiations that will probably see Zazaky's unconditional release, which will be a major propaganda for the Shias and other wannabe protesters across the country.

God knows what the Shias will protest against next. Justice for their followers who were unjustly murdered?

If anyone dares to give the IMN leader the python dance, Borno will be better than Abuja... those people are not jokers, they will arm and you will have no where to hide...
