Sheikh Ibraheem Zakzaky should be released to seek medical attention abroad
Sheikh Ibrahim Zakzaky
I read the brilliant piece in the popular Nigerian Website Sahara Reporters by the only surviving son of the leader of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria His Eminence Sheikh Ibraheem Zakzaky, Muhammad Ibraheem Zakzaky, thst was titled "ENOUGH IS ENOUGH" calling for his father to be release from illegal detention by the Nigerian regime. Muhammad is the only surviving son of Sheikh Zakzaky as his six brothers were brutally murdered extra-judicially by the Nigerian army in less than 18 months. Ahmad, Hameed and Mahmoud were tortured to death by the Nigerian army led by Col. SO Oku who was the then commander of the Bassawa barracks in 2014 during the yearly praceful pro-Palestine Al-Quds Day rally in Zaria. They were all undergraduates in Universities studying various courses. During the ZariaMassacre the Nigerian army murdered Ali Haider, Hammad and Hummaid in the presence of their parents in one of the most brutal and inhuman killings in the history of Nigeria.
After the brutal slaughter by the Nigerian army of 1000+ defenseless and unarmed Nigerians that included 100s of women and children last December by the corrupt military-civilian cabal of Northern Nigeria, these mass-murderers launched massive smear campaigns of calumny and demonization against Sheikh Zakzaky and the IMN to justify the brutal massacre and brainwash Nigerians to accept the inhumanity that was visited on IMN by the Nigerian army.
I had said this in the past and I will repeat it here. The ZariaMassacre is an evil foreign imperialist agenda that has the Saudi Wahhabi regime as a front. Nigerians should not accept the gimmick of the JCI that the GOC Gen. Adeniyi Oyepade ordered the brutal massacre of Nigerians in Zaria. When the soldiers were slaughtering the mostly Shia Muslims in Zaria they were chainting anti-Shia slogans and they shot Shia women in their private parts, breasts and lower pelvic declaring that "there will be no Shia in Nigeria". The anti-Shia slogans chanted by the Nigerian army in ZariaMassacre is the same slogans chanted by the murderous #ISIS and #AlQaeda in Syria, Iraq and Yemen. Gen. Adeniyi Oyepade who is a Christian do not have ShiaGenocide as an agenda, it is the murderous and terrorism-enabled Wahhabism that has ShiaGenocide as a global agenda.
The Nigerian army that has an excellent record in the past for peacekeeping in various regions of the world was recruited by the New World Order (NWO) to unleash maximum force on defenseless and unarmed civilians and murdered more than one thousands of them in an operation that lasted for two days. Civilians were shot and bombed by the Nigerian army, women and children were burnt alive, tanks and other Armoured Vehicles were used to crush civilians to their death and those that survived were buried to their death by Kaduna state Governor Nasir Elrufai in a single mass grave.
In the smear campaigns of calumny and demonization against Sheikh Zakzaky, the mass-murderers initially portrayed him as the leader of a " terrorist organization that is worst than the BokoHaram". When Nigerians refused to accept this fraudulent propaganda, the genocidal cabal that executed the ZariaMassacre adjusted their slogan by claiming that they slaughtered 1000+ Shia Muslims to "protect Nigerian sovereignty from Iranian influence". The conscious and alerted Nigerian audience rejected this mischievous gimmick. Then the genocidal cabal finally claimed that Sheikh Zakzaky is " a vulnerable man that should be protected by the Nigerian state because some people wanted to kill him" and that is why they are placing him in "protective custody". The cabal went to the extent of claiming that they had spent more than five million Naira in the treatment of the wounds sustained by Sheikh Zakzaky when the Nigerian army invaded and burnt down his house.
From the article of Muhammad Zakzaky who recently saw his father, he drew the attention of Nigerians and the international community to the fact that his father needs urgent medical attention abroad to save his eyes. It is common knowledge that the medical facilities in Nigeria are inadequate due to the neglect of the health care sector by past and present Nigerian governments and that was what prompted President Buhari to recently seek medical attention in the UK for just an " ear infection" at the expense of Nigerian tax payers money. If Buhari will be flown to the UK for just an ear infection then why should not Sheikh Zakzaky's family and million of his followers fly him abroad for proper medical attention as a result of multiple gunshots by the Nigerian army in all his body including his eyes for no offense done as admitted by the kangaroo Elrufai Judicial Commission of Inquiry?
Muhammad Zakzaky in has brilliant piece suggested that he might be forced to wear his boots and Trek to Abuja, Nigerian capital, to press his call for the release of his father from the illegal detention of the Nigerian regime to seek medical attention abroad and to stage sit-in protest in Nigerian government offices. The Nigerian government should be rest assured that when Muhammad Zakzaky starts his protest Trek to Abuja, millions of Nigerians will accompany him on this noble mission to protest the illegal and wicked continue detention of Sheikh Ibraheem Zakzaky.
On a final note, it is high time for Nigerians and the international community to tell the Nigerian government that ENOUGH IS ENOUGH to the illegal detention of Sheikh Ibraheem Zakzaky, his wife and the 191 survivors of the inhuman Zaria massacre. Sheikh Zakzaky should be immediately release unconditionally to seek better and more reliable medical attention abroad.
