Ahlul Bayt News Agency - Matthew Kukah, Bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Sokoto, in the interview granted to the Punch, has shared his views on what is the best solution in Biafra crisis and national mourning day for Zaria Shiites killed by Army.
The catholic bishop touched upon the bloodbath in Zaria of Shiites. The prominent cleric Kukah asked President Muhammadu Buhari to announce a national day of mourning in honor of those who were killed.
“As far as I am concerned, the Zaria killing is a national disaster. I expected the President to have declared a national mourning, especially because of the number of people that lost their lives.
“There is no way the president would not be held responsible because the buck stops at his table,” the bishop stated.
Human Rights Watch recently published a shocking report regarding the facts of mass graves in Zaria as well as estimating that hundreds of people were killed in the massacre.
The Kaduna state government has reportedly demolished the mosque and home of Sheikh Ibrahim Zakzaky, the leader of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria.
In continuation of the brutality started by Nigerian army, KASUPDA under instructions from government continue demolishing every place associated with Sheikh Zakzaky and Islamic movement. Earlier on, they completely destroyed the Husainiya Baqiyyatullah building (Shia Religious Center), Sheikh Zakzaky's residence, Fudiyyah Islamic center, Darur-Rahmah; the site where Sheikh Zakzaky's 3 sons and several others were buried, and then Hajia Hari Jamo (the mother of sheikh Zakzaky)'s house which is her own belonging and the place where her dead body is resting.
