Nigeria: Security Operatives Now Behaving Like Terrorists ― Shiites’ Leader, El-Zakzaky
Leader of the Islamic Movement Of Nigeria (IMN), Sheikh Ibraheem El-Zakzaky, has said that the Nigerian security operatives behave now, like terrorists. This happens sometimes when they are on operational mission. He stated this during the sixth anniversary of the 2015 Zaria killings of the Shiite muslim faithfuls.
In his statement after calling out the Nigerian armed forces for killing more than 100 Shiite members in the year, 2015, he said, “Men in uniform – soldiers, policemen and secret police officers who do not wear uniforms are sent to unleash terror on the people. In fact, nowadays, they even done the garments of terrorists. They cover their faces in the same way terrorists do and exhibit similar modus operandi as the terrorists. The armed forces of Nigeria, have become an instrument of terrorism and this has taught the people to be violent. People have been forced, due to circumstances, to become violent because the state has become violent.
“We are talking about rights. We have to understand that this society can never be in order unless those in authority respect the rights of other people".
“Those occupying positions in government think and act as if they are above the law, they take the life of anybody at any moment, destroy villages and play blind to the activities of Fulani herdsmen that are terrorizing defenseless people. The government does not care about the welfare of the people it claims to lead, no amount of cries and pleading from the helpless, can make them make policies that would favour the poor. They are indifferent to what happens to other people,”
El-Zakzaky equally stated that the right to life, as a fundamental human right has been taken away from the citizens.
He concluded by telling the world that Nigerian security forces have murdered peace.
