Islamic movement in Nigeria under the leadership of the detained
Sheikh Ibraheem Zakzaky accused Buhari’s government of false flag operation in
their name. IMN stated that in a statement signed by Ibrahim Musa, President
Media Forum Islamic Movement in Nigeria and obtained by THE WHIP
NEWSPAPER.
The statement reads; “It seems the devilish plot by Buhari regime
to annihilate the Islamic Movement in Nigeria which was kick-started during
Zaria massacre carried out by the Nigerian Army in December, 2015 is still
being pursued. This time around, the regime is bent on using the false flag
terror operation system to tarnish the image of the Islamic Movement”, IMN alleged.
“It has become absolutely necessary to state in unequivocal terms
once again that use of terror tactics is simply not our modus operandi, and has
never been, as evidenced by our incessant peaceful campaigns, even in the face
of state provocations in the last five years”, they declared.
The movement also stated that; “This is not about to change. It is
therefore a mark of government's desperation to now spread some sinister
leaflets through a faceless group, claiming to be part of the Islamic Movement
in Nigeria and fighting for the release of our illegally incarcerated leader,
Sheikh Ibraheem Zakzaky”, its added.
“This faceless group plans to use our yearly Quds day peaceful
processions as spring board for their nefarious activities”.
“Hence, we find it necessary to reiterate our earlier stand that
Sheikh Zakzaky in his over forty years sojourn as the leader of the Islamic
Movement has never considered terror as a means of achieving the aims and goals
of the Islamic Movement. He believes in using peaceful means and practices same
in all his religious activities. Our upcoming Quds day rallies and processions
coming up on Friday 07/05/2021 is a global event to be observed in several
cities, and it has never been a day of using violence to make the public
understand the persecution and apartheid system practiced by the Zionists
regime in Israel on Palestine”.
“Let’s not forget that this isn't the first time that the government
would be attempting to use false flag operations in an attempt at falsely and
unjustifiably linking the Movement to terrorism. In the aftermath of Zaria
massacre the Army and its paid clerics trumpeted that “the Islamic Movement is
worse than Boko Haram” in order to justify the massacre. However, the public
hasn’t swallowed such shallow propaganda, such that even the USA believes our
leader Sheikh Zakzaky is a political prisoner and the Islamic Movement is a
victim of persecution by Buhari regime. So you can count us out of any diabolic and gruesome terror attack that
agents of government may carry out in our name”.
“They are still trying to bury their crimes against humanity under
the carpet having failed woefully to frame the Movement in various court
actions”.
“Finally, for five years, this government has refused to hearken to the voice of reason to release our leader Sheikh Zakzaky, his wife and others in detention since December, 2015. Hence we urge well-meaning Nigerians and the international community to come out clearly in demanding for the freedom of our leader”.
