Members of the Islamic Movement in
Nigeria (IMN) under the umbrella of the ‘Save Zakzaky’s Life Group’ has
threatened to occupy Abuja in thousands if their leader, Sheikh Ibrahim
Zakzaky is not released.
The group in a statement signed by its
Coordinator, Malam Bashir Mafara also accused the Buhari-led government
of conspiring with foreign and international allies to wipe out the
movement.
The group further observed that there is
a deliberate and calculated delay by Nigerian Government to release
Zakzaky, who has been in detention without trial since December 2015,
after the clash between the Nigerian Army and the IMN.
He added, “at this point, SHAIK
ZAKZAKY’S LIFE GROUP OF NIGERIA, after a carefully and sensitive
analysis, has realised that, Buhari’s government is deliberately
frustrating the life of Shaik Zakzaky in custody, with its worrisome
hidden agenda; if not, why not release him to go for a proper medical
examination; why not take him to the court of law; why are you violating
the rule of law?”
The group called on President Muhammad
Buhari’s government to release Zakzaky unconditionally within two weeks
from today, adding that, “at the expiration of the deadline and without
the release of Zakzaky, members of the movement including men, women and
children, would storm Abuja, Nigeria’s capital, for a peaceful and
well organized “SIT AROUND”, and we would not leave until our leader,
Zakzaky is unconditionally released.”
