PRESS RELEASE: Manufactured Insecurity In Zaria
About
two weeks ago a bomb was reported to have exploded at a school in Tudun Jukun
area of the town. This was followed almost immediately by “exchange of gun
fire” with “some unknown gunmen” at Danmagaji area. A day or two later there
was bomb explosion at Kwarbai quarters in the heart of Zaria city which was followed by officially
routing the residence of a Good Samaritan who has been living peacefully with
his people.
The following week, about twenty four trucks loaded with security agents
armed to the teeth and bulldozers were seen trooping in to the peaceful town.
For two consecutive nights a plane was seen hovering over the residence of Sheikh
Ibraheem Zakzaky at about 4:00 am at very low altitude and almost crawling
speed, perhaps with the intent of bombing the Sheikh’s residence. Reports
reaching us from friendly sources indicate that the diffidence situation being
feigned in Zaria is to pave way for an
unpropitious plan by the US
government via their Nigerian mannequins to do away with the revered Sheikh.
The report went ahead to reveal that a house to house search will be conducted
in some parts of Zaria, to serve as prelude to their final assault on Gyellesu
area, where Sheikh Zakzaky resides. This has been confirmed by the fact that
for about two days, they have started the operation at Fanwanki quarters, where
they went about at midnight invading the residences of innocent people. They have
already mapped out where Hurras (Muslim brothers keeping vigil) are staying,
and have planned to eliminate them using silenced guns.
The question is why all these harassments? Zaria has been known for its peaceful nature.
It has been and is still the seat of knowledge in Nigeria. The role of Zaria in preserving the
teachings of Islam is well known. It is also very well recognized as the seat
of many reputable tertiary institutions of Nigeria. Who then will benefit in
plundering the city into chaos and anarchy? Under our watchful eyes, Maiduguri (another seat of Islamic knowledge) has been
ravaged; Kano
(the economic centre of the North) has been paralysed, all in the name of the
so-called Boko Haram saga. These and many heinous events of their kinds have
left nobody guessing as to the fact that somebody, somewhere is hell bent on
crippling the strategic interests of Nigeria, particularly the Northern
part of the country.
We know that the US and Nigerian governments are disturbed and envious
of the growing influence and respect Sheikh Zakzaky is commanding, not only
among the Muslims but even the non-Muslims. The recent peaceful protests held
against the blasphemous US made anti-Islam film across
the country and some other African countries at the instance of his call, are
clear evidence of their present action. His is a vibrant Islamic Movement with
its roots fully entrenched in the minds of all conscious Muslims, drawing from
the fountain of belief and faith. So, no force can crush it.
It is about time the Nigerian security re-evaluate their perception of
the Islamic Movement in Nigeria
generally, and the personality of Sheikh Zakzaky in particular. It is about
time they also seriously weigh the likely repercussions of their faulty and
hasty decisions to please their masters-US. We are watching with
keen interest the developments taking place on the security situation being
imposed on Zaria.
On Allah we depend and He is All-capable and All-knowing.
