Nigerian Shiites “block Highway”, Demand El- Zakzaky’s Release by kogistar: 7:16pm On Jul 15, 2016
Members of the Islamic
Movement in Nigeria, the body
of Shiites in the country, have
blocked the Zaria-Kaduna
expressway, to protest against
the prolonged detention of
their leader, Ibrahim El
Zakzaky.
Mr. Zakzaky has been in
detention since December
2015.
He was arrested by the
Nigerian army after troops
clashed with Shi’a members,
killing over 300 of them.
The victims were secretly
buried in a mass grave in
Kaduna, a state official had
said.
The army denies the attack
despite overwhelming
evidence of the atrocity.
It however admits using force,
saying the Shiites had blocked
the road in an attempt to
assassinate its chief, Tukur
Buratai, a Lieutenant General.
Our source said “thousands”
of Shiites blocked the
expressway on Friday, denying
road users passage.
The source said security
operatives have been deployed
to the scene.
A spokesperson for the Shi’as,
Musa Ibrahim, confirmed to
PREMIUM TIMES that he had
received report that “some of
our members” embarked on
procession today, Friday, and
were “attacked by thugs”.
“A report just reached my
desk,” said Mr. Ibrahim. “Some
of members embarked on
peaceful procession today. But
they were attacked by thugs at
Maraban Jos (along Kaduna-
Zaria expressway.”
He added that he was
informed that the police
intervened in the fight “but I
don’t know whether there is
casualty”.
He said the “procession” was
to demand the release of
Sheik Zakzaky”.
More details coming.
