Members of Islamic Movement of
Nigeria (IMN) has warned the Nigerian Government not to push them to the wall
in their demand for the release of their spiritual leader, Sheik Ibraheem
El-Zakzaky.
The group disclosed this on
Tuesday during a procession to mark the 68th birthday of El-Zakyzaky and 1,224
days of his detention in Abuja.
A leader of the sect from Sokoto,
Sheikh Sidi Munnir, who spoke to journalists, threatened that the movement
would change its style and move to another step if the government failed to
release their leader.
When asked what will be the next
line of action of the movement if the government continues to keep him in
detention, he said: “I am sure we will not be doing this kind of procession to
call for the release of our leader; we will move to another step.
“If they push us to the wall,
that means if they hold on to our leader and refuse to release him, the style
will change. We will not only be protesting to call for the release of our
leader. The story will change.”
He, however, expressed optimism
that President Muhammadu Buhari, with his next level slogan, will rescind his
decision and release him from the detention.
He also called on well-meaning
Nigerians and International community to intervene as a matter of urgency and
necessity.
He added that the movement
embarked on the rally to commemorate the 68th birthday anniversary of their
leader even though he is in detention.
