Ahlul Bayt News Agency - Several times in the recent past, Dr Ahmed Gumi made calls on security agents to launch war on Shia Muslims of Nigeria. In 2014, after he had written an open letter to Sheikh Ibrahim El-Zakzaky, in which he accused him (El-Zakzaky) of running something of a cultist organization, many people including myself observed that Dr. Ahmad Gumi might be a CIA.
Since then more highlight has been coming out. He now exposed himself as both CIA and Zionist. He is working for them against Shia Muslims and by extension, world Muslim community.
In 2009, there was an attempt to assassinate Sheik El-Zaakzaky. In fact, the blue print of the operation suggested massacre of Sheikh El-Zakzaky and his followers, at least in Zaria. Allah in his infinite mercy foiled that conspiracy. It was suspected that Yar adua’s administration, supported by some Muslim scholars, was behind the evil plan. At that time some people doubted, and those scholars if their names were mentioned, they would definitely deny. Now I can boldly say, Ahamd Gumi was one of those scholars. Who is in Doubt? In his interview with “Daily Trust” on Tuesday, 29th December 2015, Ahmad Gumi stated “former President Umar Yar adua told me of the massive importation of ammunition and weapons to different parts of the country, the president had mentioned Iran as supplying arms to Shiites”.
Again, in “Nation Mirror” news paper of 30th December, Ahmad Gumi said “Iran suppliers weapons to El-zakzaky in order to run parallel government. Justice deserves everyone irrespective of one’s religious persuation. Every Nigerian is a witness. On the 12th of December, Nigerian Army opened fire on innocent Shia Muslims in Zaria killing about a thousand, injured uncountable and arrested many- sheikh Ibrahim El-zakzaky was among those injured and arrested, and is still in detention. They also bulldozed all physical structures belonging to Shiites, across Zaria. The army neither said Shiites shot them back with those kinds of weapons as mentioned by Dr. Ahmad nor did they say weapons and ammunition were discovered in the demolished buildings. Even their staged managed video clip showed only a few young men holding sticks, stones and cutlasses-perhaps these are the weapons and ammunition Iran supplied to Shiekh El-zakzaky in order to run parallel Governments.
From every indication Nigerian government and some Muslim scholars are united against shia Muslims in Nigeria, each Party with its own interest. On one hand, the government is unhappy to see a man not working and under authority commanding respect and loyalty from over 25 million Nigerians. Among others, Nigerian Christians have began to recognize sheikh El- Zakzaky as the only hope for the oppressed – underprivileged and the symbol of unity and justice on African Continent.
On the other, the Muslim scholars, especially wahabbists, are worried of the rapid growth of Shia which may in the long or short run supplant them in all parts of the country. Recently, Wahabbists came to realize that propaganda, falsehood and hate preaches in their praying shops cannot stop the rapid spread of Shia, thus, they opted to evil conspiracies. Having cut down Darikas(Sufis) to size in some places around Nigeria, their only target now is Shia.
Peace, blessing and protection of Allah be upon the rightly guided.
Sheikh Zakzaky most popular among Shia, Sunni, Salafi, Christian communities in Nigeria
Sheikh Zakzaky is actually extremely popular not just among the Shia community but among the Sunni community, even Salafi community, Christian community.
Islamic Movement of Nigeria, which he is the leader of, has got a faction which is a Christian faction. And he’s extremely popular with the people because he actually serves people, he believes in sort of serving all the communities.
And the reality is that what… the only people who hated are the government, because he speaks against the corruption; he speaks against injustice that is taking place; and he actually wants [to] empower all of the communities in Nigeria. And that’s why he’s loved by people.
His community itself is now 15-million strong with many other supporters and that is what the Nigerian government hates and is scared of. It’s not an issue of sectarianism.
High Ranking Nigeria Sunni Cleric 'Sheikh Dahiru Usman Bauchi' blames Army for Zaria Shia Killings
Meanwhile the prominent Islamic cleric in Nigeria Shiekh Dahiru Usman Bauchi has apportioned blame of Zaria massacre to the Nigerian authority saying notwithstanding the offense, the Shi'as did not deserve this brutal killings.
"the soldiers are not fair to the pacifist members because the punishment is just too harsh because it is not compatible with their offense. The holy prophet Muhammad (saw) said "if anyone of you is offended and cannot let it go, then he should apply the appropriate punishment" said the scholar.
The Sheikh further said that "it is true that roads belong to the government and it's not appreciate to block it for no genuine reasons because it breeds untold hardship to passers-by. It is even unbecoming to prevent soldiers from passing by.
The country relies solely on soldiers to safeguard its territorial integrity and thus refusing to allow them access to the road is a bad idea. But why couldn't they be punished in proportion to their offense? The soldiers should have fired in the air to scare them away or sprayed tear gass to disperse them, they could even use robber bullets to restore order. But to fire live ammunitions on the armless members, this is a gross violation of human rights and we condemn it." He added.
