There
is a report on Punch that members of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria, otherwise
known as Shiites, said on Monday that they would march on Abuja to protest the
continued detention of their leader, Sheikh Ibrahim El-Zakzaky in the
Department of State Service.
They
noted that following the expiration of the 14-day ultimatum given by the sect
to the Federal Government within which to release El-Zakzaky, Shiites in
millions would occupy the federal capital until their leader is released.
The
group spoke under the aegis of ‘Save Zakzaky’s Life Group of Nigeria,’led by
its National Coordinator, Bashir Marafa.
The
group asserted that as Nigerians, “We have the right to show our grievances and
concerns in peaceful manner.
“The
police, soldiers and all other security agencies should take note. They should
never harass, or intimidate us. Our slogan is free Zakzaky. Our mission in
Abuja is to seek the release of our leader, Shaik Ibrahim Zakzaky.
