Alwaght-Nigerians have continued protests calling on the government to immediately release illegally detained leader of the Islamic Movement of Nigeria (IMN), Sheikh Ibrahim al-Zakzaky.
On Monday female members of IMN in the northern Nigerian state of Bauchi staged a fresh protest demanding the immediate and unconditional release of their leader Sheikh Zakzaky, his wife Malama Zeenatuddeen and hundreds of his followers who are illegally being detained by the Nigerian Government.
Many of the demonstrators were singing a defiant song which meant the truth cannot be suppressed by gunshots, voicing out their anger over the extra-judicial killings of women and children by the Nigerian soldiers in Zaria.
Furthermore, the Muslim sisters, have called on the president Muhammad Buhari to as a matter of urgency, release their supreme leader Zakzaky saying that they would not relent following legal means, staging peaceful protests and exerting pressure on the government until they have witnessed the release of their detained leader.
In her briefing with newsmen, women leader of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria, Bauchi chapter, Malama Suwaibat Yunusa said they trooped to the streets to vent their spleen in regard to the continued incarceration of their leader. “We are here to demand the immediate release of our leader because his continued detention is illegal" She said. She further condemned the apparent violation of women dignity during the
engineered massacre of people in Zaria.
She said women were stripped naked and raped before they were shot to death. "Nigeria is the only country in the world where women and children are bearing the brunt of targeted assassination by the army who are solely created to protect them. They tore off their dignity, they sexually molested our women, and transferred them to Kaduna prison in the middle of the night.”
On December 12 last year, Nigerian soldiers attacked Shia Muslims attending a ceremony at a religious center in Zaria, accusing them of blocking the convoy of the army’s chief of staff and attempting to assassinate him. The Shias have categorically denied the allegations.
The following day, Nigerian forces also raided Sheikh Zakzaky’s home and arrested him after killing hundreds of Muslims attempting to protect him, including three of Sheikh Zakzaky’s sons, one of the IMN’s senior leaders and its spokesman.
