For the past four consecutive days during the Muharram Majalis at the Hussainiyyah Baqiyyatullah Zaria, Leader of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria, His Eminence Sheikh Ibraheem Zakzaky had been exposing the series of failed attempts at his life by the Nigerian security, especially after the bomb attack and shooting on Ashura procession in Potiskum on Monday.
On Thursday during the 14th day in the series of Ashura mourning, His Eminence disclosed that Ebele Jonathan wants him dead at all cost.
The plan, he said, was to lay siege and staged an ambush on his convoy while coming or returning from Hussainiyyah. “Ebele Jonathan after killing my sons, still insists on killing me. These people have not given up in their plan to further unleash bloodshed. They are hell-bent and desperate to continue the killings. We are not in any way surprised, this is the tradition of past and present enemies”.
He further explained that having realized their plan, his convoy changed route on Tuesday, but the security operatives stationed their combatant men on each of the two routes and planted some things, but Allah thwarted the plan.
He further explained that, a security car was identified with its number plate parked at the post office near the Hussainiyyah Wednesday night waiting for his departure and sped up and took position along one of the route when he was about to depart and had to change route.
“Whenever we expose their plan they usually retract, but I am surprised that this time around they so insistent and desperate to accomplish their mission. Yet, their strategy exhibits element of cowardice as they preferred darkness and always want a location with an escape route so that they kill and go unnoticed”, said Sheikh Zakzaky
Sheikh Zakzaky stated that, though they are blinded by the obsession to kill, they should know that one day the table will turn against them. “Yes, they have guns and can kill people, as they have killer instinct in them. They should however know that gun does not rule. They should ponder over their continuous failures, and realize that there is a Supreme Force that rules over everything”.
He assured that at the end of the day the truth, which the Movement stands for, will emerge victorious.
NIGERIAN GOVERNMENT’S DESPARATE ATTEMPT TO KILL SHIEKH IBRAHEEM ZAKZAKY
The efforts and attempts on the life of Sheikh Ibraheem Zakzaky have been flourishing since about thirty five years ago when he was involved in Students’ Union activities. The subsequent governments that followed from 1978 to date have never relented in the evil scheme of eliminating the revered Sheikh. The question remains, why?
As a Muslim and adherent follower of the teachings of the Holy Qur’an and the Sunnah of Prophet of Islam Muhammad (SAWA) and other Prophets of Allah, Sheikh Zakzaky has always been at the fore front of fighting injustice and speaking the truth no matter how bitter or whom it may offend. The most ignorant of people will surely know that these characteristics are those of the Prophets and devoted servants of Allah.
The current phenomena in the country, where innocent lives are being killed and blood of innocuous people spilled almost on daily basis by the government that is supposed to be the protector of its people, cannot allow the Sheikh to remain silent. Where other so called leaders either in the name of political, religious, traditional or whatever they may call themselves are afraid to say the truth and identify with the masses of the country, Sheikh Zakzaky has openly condemned the government’s crimes. Such brave act has cost him the loss of his three undergraduate sons and some of his Allah’s chosen students.
Recent events in Potiskum, Yobe state have witnessed the government openly in broad day light throwing bomb and opening fire on a peaceful procession of Muslims under the command of Sheikh Zakzaky commemorating the Ashura. This dastardly attack has left 29 killed with about 80 receiving treatments at the hospital. As usual Sheikh has openly blamed the Nigerian government for the heinous crime against its people. This brave act of Sheikh has earned him the government displeasure. For five consecutive nights they have been attempting to ambush and kill him on his way back to his house after the usual daily Ashura event.
We have said and will continue to re-echo that no force can kill an ideology. The teeming followers of Sheikh that are making you restless are people that fully identify with the call and their lives available for sacrifice in depending him and the call. The desperation to eliminate Sheikh Zakzaky by the Nigerian government acting on the orders of the illegal state of Israel should be seriously and carefully pondered by the puppies of the Zionist. What could be the possible effect of this evil crime being attempted? The Zion masters may not have much to lose by the time the crime back fires, but what of their local agents. Can anyone imaging killing such a respected and upright leader to go free without consequences?
Allah that has been protecting Sheikh Zakzaky from the evil attempts on his life is ever Able and Capable.
