The Islamic Movement in Nigerian
(IMN) on Sunday said speculations that Shi’ites were planning Free Zakzaky mass
and violent protests were untrue.
IMN spokesman, Ibrahim Musa, in a
statement, said they had nothing to do with unfounded and baseless threats of
violence in pursuance of their demand for the freedom of Sheikh Ibraheem
Zakzaky, his wife Malama Zeenah Ibrahim and all those the government is still
detaining.
“We have previously stated
uncountable times and demonstrated it over the years that use of violence and
issuance of threats are not in our character and have never ever been our modus
operandi. This is not going to change”, it said.
“Our peaceful Free Zakzaky
campaigns over the past years since the government-sponsored genocide are
enough attestations of our peaceful disposition even in the face of extreme provocation.
“Sheikh Zakzaky has never ever
preached violence, hence anyone seen threading the path of violence can never
be one of us. The government might just be trying to tarnish the image of the
Islamic Movement in an attempt at justifying Buhari’s glaring failures in all
spheres of governance.
“Be rest assured that we would
continue with our peaceful mass protests and take all legitimate ways in
seeking redress as we have done until we exposed the atrocities of this
government against peaceful citizens. We will never be deterred in the pursuit
of our inalienable rights guaranteed in the constitution.
“Finally, we are once again
calling for the immediate release of our leader and his wife, whose health
situations appear to be deteriorating very fast, especially in view of the
reported poisoning they were subjected to in detention.
“Their health status is of
paramount significance to us all and Buhari must be held responsible should
anything untoward happen to either the Sheikh or his wife.”
