Mohammed-Baba while addressing a
news conference in Kaduna on Saturday behalves called on the Federal Government
to urgently ban the Sheikh Ibraheem El-Zakzaky’s led Shiite movement in their
communities.
The feeling of the residents was
made known by the spokesman of affected Zaria Communities, Idris Mohammed-Baba.
He said, “We are happy over military
action against Shiite’s movement in Zaria because we have fresh air now blowing
in our areas.”
However, Mohammed-Baba said for over
20 years the Shi’ite sect had unleashed untold hardship on their host
communities.
According to him, the Shiites had
held people in Zaria and Sabon Gari Local Government areas of the state hostage
with impunity and running a parallel government in the country.
He said: “My experience with Shiite
followers is disastrous and terrible, at a point Shiite boys threatened to kill
me. We are happy over military action against Shiite’s movement in Zaria
because we have fresh air now blowing in our areas. Before now, we could not grant
interview to the world about Shiite’s activities, but now we are sleeping with
our two eyes closed. As a community, we wrote letters to the governments about
ungodly activities of Shiites but no single action was taken.”
He added, “Shiites killed many of
our people who challenged their activities. We buried them and we could not
talk to the world because of their threat. We were living like slaves in our
own land which Shiite leader, Sheikh El-Zakzaky came and met us.
“We residents of Gyallesu are calling
on the Federal government to ban Shi’ite movement in our community and Kaduna
state as a whole. Government should put a stop to their ungodly activities in
our area.”
The group also made available
documents dated 18th May, 2015 in which the Shiites declared some youths
persona non grata.
