As far as the #ZariaMassacre is concern, the #NigerianArmy are terrorist. So let's "call a spade a spade. After the first round of the #ZariaMassacre which most of Nigerians are not fully aware about the fact that, the Nigerian Army fully dressed and armed with dangerous weapons belonging to the Nigerian Government, went to Hussainiyyah Baqiyyatullah and killed some of the members of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria (IMN), the "criminals" pulled back and retreated after the killing.
After some few minutes, the convoy of the "incorruptibles" Chief Of Army Staff (COAS), Lt. Gen Tukur Yusuf Buratai arrived Dogarawa, the main entrance to Zaria city from Kano direction. The Convoy of the great COAS stopped and had some discussions for some minutes before they move towards the Hussainiyyah Baqiyyatullah Zaria, together with the
"criminals" that shot and killed some of the #IMN members. The convoy
encountered some youths protesting the murder of their brothers around Hussainiyyah Baqiyyatullah. In his action, the "honest" Kuka Sheka Usman tried to prove to the world that they were going to pass, knowing that someone was recording a video in other to use
as an evidence or justification for what has been preplanned.
The youths that were protesting at that time told him that their people shot and killed by his men some minutes ago, but the "honest man of the century" was only concern with his
action towards providing "Justification" for what was about to begin. The great COAS convoy forced their way through the peaceful protesters thereby killing more than 20 of
them instantly, injuring some and took some of the injured to the barrack and we later found out that they brutally butchered them to death. All that happened at that time, the Great Ustaz Yusuf Buratai was there and watching. Hussainiyyah Baqiyyatullah turned to a mourning center as people were crying for the lost of their loved ones while some were going through some severe pain of gunshot injury. Then comes the planned operation, the "criminals" came back again and sieged the Hussainiyyah Baqiyyatullah around 3pm on Saturday. At that time, Sheikh Tukur Buratai was still in Zaria.
The criminals were fully alerted, ready and awaiting orders. On the other hand, the remaining members of #IMN (women and children inclusive) and the injured were inside, nothing was coming out of Hussainiyyah Baqiyyatullah except the bawling of women and children for the lost of their husbands, fathers, mothers, sisters and brothers. The injured were not allowed access to medical attention due to the siege raised against the building. It was some minutes after 5pm that "the best Governor" and the former minister of FCT, Mal Nasir El-Rufa'i
appeared at the scene with his convoy. He stopped and had some words with the officers in charge for some minutes and went away. All this time, Hussainiyyah Baqiyyatullah was under siege and the soldiers were awaiting orders until night, media houses from around the world
reported the incident and the world was worrying, the army spokesman had an interview with some media houses at that time and he backs the attack officially, protests were organized around the world at that night. It was after 9pm that the worst started, the criminals were shooting, children were crying, women were bawling. To my surprise, a Rocket Propelled Grenade was launched beside me for the first time. The shootings continued while the number of death and injured were increasing rapidly.
My friends were shot and lied helpless. On that night, we had a report that the criminals went to Gyallesu were our leader reside. The shootings continued until dawn when Hussainiyyah Baqiyyatullah was invaded successfully in favour of the "criminals". I couldn't count
the number of death anymore and I didn't know what I was thinking, many things were crossing my mind.
The time of the complete invasion came during Subh prayer when people were devoted to prayers, I don't want to remember seeing them going down one after the other while they stand to praise their God. I don't want to remember the girl that was shot on the head and didn't die
instantly, there was nothing we can do at that time. I don't want to remember the shrieks of children that remain helpless with expectation of bullets or grenades. At Gyallesu, the attack continued targeting the leader of the Islamic Movement In Nigeria, Sheikh Ibraheem Zakzaky and people were depending him with their mere body implying that a bullet can only touch him when they are all down just like what the people of Hussein did in #Karbala. The kind of humiliation faced by IMN members in Gyallesu was terrifying, people were burnt to death, women were raped, some women were shot in their private parts, properties were destroyed,
life time savings were razed to zero.
The attack extended to Darur Rahma were similar humiliations took place. "If insurgency
last for more than 24hours, Government is party to it". The #ZariaMassacre did not only last for 72hours, from Saturday to Monday, but also, media houses from around the world reported it as it happens, protests were organized all over the world, police know about it and withdrew from it, DSS knew about it, the state host Governor went to the scene before the invasion. In his submission to the National Human Rights Commission Abuja, Mal Tukur Buratai backed the Genocide completely and proved that he is party to it. After the massacre, the Kaduna State Governor Charged the detained members of the Islamic Movement to court for culpable homicide, seeking the court to give them death sentence while the criminals roams
about with freedom.
The President of Nigeria, His Boldness Gen Muhammadu Buhari didn't only remain silent while it takes place, but backed it in a media chat one month after thereby trying to find justification for
it. While I stand to be corrected, please someone should prove to the poor me that:
Gen Muhammadu Buhari
Gen Tukur Yusuf Buratai
Nasir Ahmad El-Rufa'i
Col Sani Usman Kuka Sheka Are not party to this massacre.
This is getting to 8months but the detained leader of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria and other members of IMN have not yet regained their freedom.
