Is President Buhari A Muslim?! Islamic Movement Suffers Rights Violation More Than Any Group In Nigeria

Coalition of Civil Society organizations North West and North Central has said that the Islamic Movement in Nigeria suffered tremendous right violations more than any other group in Nigeria.

AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA):  The group under aegis of the Coalition of Civil Society organizations North West and North Central has said that the Islamic Movement in Nigeria under the leadership of Sheikh Zakzaky for the past fourth years under it existence has suffered tremendous right violations more than any other group in Nigeria.

The organisations at a press conference in Abuja on Saturday said that for nearly a decade, the insecurity situation in the country has been making headlines on the local and international media due to negligence of importance of fundamental human rights of the people and lack of practical promotion of good atmosphere of living by the citizens.

Comrade Mikail Yunus who spoke on behalf of the coalition, told newsmen that in an attempt to write about the State of the Nation, in relation to insecurity and violations of fundamental human rights in Nigeria using the Shia Muslims minorities as a case study, one can produce a voluminous work and complications are bound to set in as the nation is currently experiencing two phenomena of insecurity and human rights violations.

“Before 2009, the country enjoyed relative calm in both areas of insecurity and non-violation of Human Rights. It has however been seen that the Islamic Movement in Nigeria under leadership of Sheikh Zakzaky for the past 40 years of existence has suffered tremendous right violations for confronting and resisting oppression, injustice, corruption, aggression and persecution on the account of its uniting and protecting rights of others.

“In this way, the Islamic Movement suffered rights violation more than any group in this country. This is why it is a focal point for rights organizations.

The group said that such violation reached a peak when Nigerian Army under the leadership of Lt General Tukur Yusuf Buratai, Commanded and supervised by the commander in Chief, President Muhammadu Buhari with impunity committed the brutal massacre in December 2015 in Zaria on the pretext of Road blocking and assassination attempt, which killed over one thousand unarmed people.

The group noted in a dismay that the Nigeria Army maimed, burnt alive, raped, and demolished homes, also buried hundreds people in mass grave. These evil acts committed can not be forgotten in our strive for human desired Human Rights to be shaped with in this country.

“The Nigeria Government violated the said (section 33, 34 and 36) of the 1999 constitution which says “Every person has a right to life, and no one shall be deprived internationally of his life, save in execution of criminal offence of which he has found guilty. No Nigeria shall be discriminated upon basis of his community, ethnic group, sex place of origin and political opinion.

” In this case the minority Shoots and members of the Islamic Movement were discriminated by this goverment. The right to fair hearing were taken away forcefully as witnessed in the 2015 Kaduna state Judicial Commission of inquiry proceedings and presidential committee bon Human Rights Violation by the Nigeria Army.

“The Islamic Movement and it’s members had their rights legitimately owned unmovable properties continuously destroyed with sheer wickedness and in some cases denied permission to own,” they added.

The group called on the Nigeria Government to obey the international Criminal Court (ICC), of Justice concerning this gruesome crime against humanity and all the officers that are involved in the massacre of Shia Minority Muslim should be arrested and hand over to ICC for justice to have it’s cause.

The most problem is that human right violations, injustices, aggression, killing innocent people  and ... are under the presidency of Mr. Buhari, So if he call himself as a Muslim man why he is too fanatic against minorities?!
