Nigerian Muslims Vow to Mark Quds Day Despite Chaos Plot

Nigerian Muslims Vow to Mark Quds Day Despite Chaos Plot

Alwaght- The Islamic Movement of Nigeria (IMN) vows Muslims in the country will mark World Quds Day despite plots by government agents to ignite chaos in the annual rally.

In a statement, IMN says it has obtained credible intelligence reports indicating that Nigerian government security agents plan to carry out false flag operations unleashing chaos in some unmentioned cities in Nigeria, in an attempt to scuttle the marking of Qud’s Day celebration in the country.

Islamic Movement of Nigeria spokesman Ibrahim Musa says over the last three  decades, the movement has peacefully marked Quds Day in solidarity with the suffering people of Palestine every last Friday of the Holy month of Ramadan.

He pointed out that its only two years ago, in the northern Nigeria city of Zaria that soldiers under the command of Lt. Col. S.O. Okuh brutally attacked the peaceful  Quds Day protesters, killing 34 people, including three children of Sheikh Ibrahim Zakzaky, INM leader currently incarcerated.

Musa noted that, with the benefit of hindsight that was only a dress rehearsal for the Zaria genocidal attack of December 2015, in which over a thousand members of the IMN were extra-judicially killed in cold blood.

He reiterated that IMN has been a peaceful organization since its formation and has consistently employed peaceful means throughout its existence adding that this stance will continue despite provocations.  Islamic Movement of Nigeria spokesman informed the Nigerian public that any act of violence done in its name is not from the movement.

Musa pointed out the Nigerian Muslims will mark the Annual international Quds Day as has been the tradition just as it will be marked simultaneously all over the World.

This year’s Word Day is expected to be marked on 1st July and extend over the weekend in most Western countries. During that period, worldwide rallies are held to commemorate the Palestinian people’s resistance against the Israeli regime and their struggles to liberate their territories which have been occupied by the regime for decades. Millions of pro-Palestinian demonstrators, including Muslims and non-Muslims, take to the streets to denounce Israel’s atrocities against the people of Palestine.
