IMN Shiites: Group Lauds Kaduna State White Paper On Zaria Clashes for Exonerating Nigerian Army

The Good Governance Initiative (GGI) has described the release of Kaduna State Government's White Paper on the Judicial Commission of Inquiry that investigated the clash between the Islamic Movement in Nigeria (IMN) and the Nigerian Army as a welcome development.

The group also congratulated the Nigerian Army which was exoneratedby the White paper, saying Nigerians never doubted that it acted within its mandate of protecting the territorial integrity of the country.

According to a statement signed by GGI Co-ordinator, Uche Madu John, Nigerians will continue to support the army in its quest to protect law abiding citizens from any form of aggressor.

He urged the Federal Government to immediately issue a directive for all security and military services to treat the IMN as a terror group while anyone caught committing a crime in its name must be tried under the relevant anti-terror legislations.

The statement reads partly, "We laud the exoneration of the Nigerian Army, which was cleared of any wrongdoing as an institution and we see this as the removal of obstacles that terrorist sponsors had tried to place in the way of the army to reduce its ability to protect NIgerians.

"The White Paper has laid to rest the true nature and status of IMN as an insurgent group whose members bear arms and had refused to evacuate Gyallesu area of Zaria, Kaduna state ahead of the referenced military operation in the report.

"We hope that those that have been mounting propaganda on behalf of IMN, including international contractors like Amnesty International, would now accept the position stated in the document that the Nigerian Army abided by its Rules of Engagement in dealing with the terrorist organisation."

He further urged judicial officers to familiarise themselves with this document especially since more IMN members could soon be charged to court over their role in the group's decades of insurgency against the Nigerian state.

The statement reads further, "GGI urges the Federal Government to immediately implement the aspect of the White Paper that fall within its purview to ensure that the menace of the IMN and any other groups they may mutate into can be holistically dealt with since it is not all the states of the federation that can marshal the political will to tackle insurgency the way Kaduna has done."

Nigeria On The Brink of Another Terrorism In Shiites, By Gabriel Onoja

“As followers of Sheik Ibraheem El-Zakzaky, we shall never submit ourselves to the dictates of the Nigerian government even if our own lives will be taken away by the forces of its security agents.” Sheik Sanusi Abdulkadir Koki, IMN’s newest leader.

Truly God loves Nigeria. Despite months of desperation to conceal the evil plot of Nigerian Shiites on Nigeria, by the sect leaders and their international allies, the truth has surfaced irrepressibly. Security agents in Nigeria need no further evidence greater than this bold, verbal affront on the sovereignty of Nigeria to unambiguously dissect the destructively, possessive mindset of Nigerian Shiites as the newest wing of terrorism in the country.

The treacherous comments were made in Kano by the newest leader of the Shiites in Nigeria or the Islamic Movement in Nigeria (IMN), Sheik Sanusi Abdulkadir Koki. The remarks were made during the burial of some dead members from the sect’s induced clashes with the Police recently in Kano state, which left some officers dead.

Sheik Koki described the sect’s dead members as martyrs who have in infamy adhered to “the very footsteps of Imam Husain (AS) who was massacred alongside his followers, for not surrendering himself to the dictates, wish and whims of Yazid Bin Mu’awuya.” He further prodded the sect members never to subject themselves to the dictates of the laws of the Federation of Nigeria.

For the Shiites, it is a history of unjust rebellion against the state or constituted authority, from wherever the sect evolved. And its adherents anywhere in the world are neck-deep into this aberration unknown in decent climes.

But Nigerians know that the IMN is not a registered organization in Nigeria, despite its near 40 years of existence in the country. And recently, the criminal activities of the sect earned it a lawful ban in Nigeria, through the Kaduna state government, where the sect’s headquarters is domiciled. The ban has also been replicated in Kano state.

The doubt that has just been cleared is the sect’s self-proclamation of its status as Nigeria’s latest brand of terrorists after the defeated Boko Haram Terrorists (BHTs). And the Nigerian Shiites are making no pretenses about its determination to outshine the cruelty of BHTs in violent assault on the Nigerian state.

Nigerian Shiites have displayed traits of sects that eventually mutate into terror groups in the country. In 2009 when BHTs surfaced under the leadership of Yusuf Mohammed, their first target was security agents, especially the police. In the early eighties, the notorious Maitatsine sect led by a 1945 Cameroonian migrant into Kano city, Alhaji Mohammed (Muhammadu) Marwa also began violent campaigns by openly traducing laws of the state and attacking security agents who enforced compliance.

Marwa’s inciting preachments to followers were overlooked and underrated for years, just like the Shiites have gathered momentum, for more than three decades and now stepping out to courageously challenge the authority of the Nigerian state.

In flaunted flags of dishonor, the Nigerian Shiites have indeed exuded every sign of a sect, which is not only irreligious, but its members’ as budding terrorists nourished from afar. They have rejected compliance with every law and government’s directive. They are ever ready to violently confront the state to impose their own laws on the state.

Each time Nigerian Shiites storm the streets / roads with “religious” processions, they are armed to the teeth with assorted primitive, but dangerous weapons, which advertise them as nothing else, other than venomous insurgents on the prowl. It has never been a co-incidence to find Shiites members brandish weapons like catapults, stones, swords, clubs, bows and arrows, dane guns, leopard skins, as bulletproof vests and powdered charms during all their processions.

It is this unprovoked inclination to violence by Nigerian Shiites that led to the violent attack on the convoy of the Chief of Army Staff (COAS) Gen. Yusuf Buratai in Zaria, Kaduna state, in December 2015. The latest incidence of the Shiites brutal confrontation of the police in Kano, which resulted in the death and injuries of some police officers is the unmistaken affirmation of the sect members’ as terrorists, disguised as religious worshippers’.

Linked to Iran, founders of ISIS, the world’s most dangerous terror sect, Nigerian Shiites delight in breach of public peace. Each time, the Shiites step out, tension in the country is heightened and their conduct is always in negation of all certified Islamic norms.

But more than anything else, what has bolstered the Nigerian Shiites to violently lay siege on parts of Nigeria is the active support it receives from the Republic of Iran.

The United Nations (UN) is now silent on the matter, but Iran as a UN-member nation has continued to secretly plot the complete destruction of Nigeria. Iran has ultimately destabilized Nigeria, by its years of sponsorship of terror sects in the country. It has not veiled its funding of BHTs which held Nigeria to the jugular, until recently when the Nigerian military overpowered it.

Factional leader of Boko Haram, Abubakar Shekau speaks glowing of the terror sect’s affinity to Iran. The emergence of another Boko Haram factional leader, Abu Musab al Barnawi was also appointed by the ISIS of Iran. The recently redeployed Iranian Ambassador to Nigeria, Saeed Koozechi had openly threatened Nigeria and undermined the country’s laws by his provoking outbursts that Nigeria was playing with fire with the continued detention of IMN’s leader, Shiek Ibraheem El-Zakzaky.

Therefore, when another Nigerian Shiites leader Sanusi Koki boldly poked his members to float Nigerian laws and disregard the Nigerian government, the shadows of Iran played out glaringly and significantly. However, what the Shiites have failed to understand is that no country in the world is governed without laws. And Nigeria is not an exception. Iran’s backing and encouragement of a terrorists’ sect to challenge the sovereignty of the country is a direct call to Nigerians to defend same.

Nigeria does not need any congregation of Shiites in the country. The IMN members are free to migrate to Iran to practice their detestable religious doctrines, blended with terrorism. As the Nigerian Shiites declare their offensive on Nigeria, what is certain is that the country cannot surrender its sovereignty to any sect. The Shiites cannot continue to needlessly kill Nigeria’s security agents, especially the Police. Iran should know that the resolve to defend the Nigerian Police and other security agents from the dark forces and cruelty of the Nigerian Shiites cannot be compromised.

With Koki’s riot act to Shiites members, time has come for Nigerian government to crackdown on these Shiites outlaws before their international human rights allies like Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International manifest their supportive conspiracy of the Shiites umbrage.

Even in Iran laws exist and violators are penalized. Iran is quite displeased with Nigeria’s defeat of BHTs, which explains the renewed attention to breed another set of terrorists in the Nigerian Shiites to once again snatch the peace and respite Nigerians currently enjoy. In Shiites, Nigeria is on the verge of a new wave of terror and the FGN should henceforth, cease treating the issue with levity.

IMN, Iran and New Face of Terrorism, By Abiodun Israel

It is just recently that the so-called 'Arab Spring' was provoked across the Middle-East and North Africa. What appeared to be popular protests on the surface ended up as strategy for regime change in several of these countries. The greater fallout of those protests is instability that replaced the relative peace those nations once knew – Libya, Yemen, Egypt are basket cases while Syria is now the theatre for the world's most confounding proxy wars that began with what trusting citizens thought were simple street protests.

What those who earlier believed in the spontaneity of those early protests have found out is that the larger population responded to populist chants intoned by hidden terrorists among them. No sooner did the protests turned violent than the extremists began killing government forces who in turn responded in kind thereby triggering the disaster that has now engulfed many part of the earth. The refugee crisis from the ill advised kindling of terrorism now threaten to overwhelm Europe.

Nigeria is facing its own threat of foreign-backed terrorists induced protests with the growing boldness of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria (IMN) which is actively supported by the Islamic Republic of Iran in pursuit of the spread of Shia brand of Islam.

The extremist group has in recent times been holding series of protest that its leadership apparently aim to use in precipitating nationwide crisis. Similar to the terror cells that operated underground in the Middle-East until they launched with the Arab Spring protests that allowed them metamorphosed into the noxious ISIL, IMN had taken its time to permeate the various sectors in the country – the group has parallel departments that corresponds with government ministries. The structure fits snugly into its disavowal of the Nigerian state and its rejection of the constitutionally guarantied secular state.

It had tested the extremism it would impose on Nigeria on a micro scale in Zaria in Kaduna state where residents and travellers endured years of abuses from IMN extremists. They often obstruct the roads with their processions and totally disregard the resulting hardship this has on other citizens.

But the true confirmation of this group's intention came to light when almost one year ago they made attempt on the life of the Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Lt Gen Tukur Buratai, the man entrusted with routing terrorists. That ugly incident in Zaria was likely the IMN's planned precursor for a 'Nigerian Harmattan'. The professional but firm response of the military to that error of judgment should probably be credited for stunting the extremists' rise into a full blown terror group.

Since that incident, IMN has made several attempts to instigate widespread protests, usually with the claim that the protests, marches and treks were to demand the release of its leader, Sheik Ibraheem Alzakyzaky from detention. He is being held for instigating the deadly clashes in the aftermath of the attempt on the COAS' life. 

If clashing with the military has been proven to be sheer idiocy that must not be repeated again, the IMN has simply refused to learn that vital lesson that the military represents Nigeria and as a secular state the country will not allow the dictatorship of a sectarian group or any group for that matter. The Shia group barred its fangs on citizens in October this year during the Ashura procession but soon learnt the hard way that it is dangerous to dare the collective will. They were routed in every city in which they dared to attack Nigerians.

Only a few days ago the extremists turned their attention to a new foe in the quest to undermine the Nigerian state. The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) became its latest target. The police reportedly got intelligence that these radicalised persons were moving cache of arms across state boundaries and swiftly moved to prevent these from being put to use. But IMN would not have any of what it perceived as interference from an institution that represents the law and order for a state it does not recognise. It killed policemen in Kano even though the act also came at human costs to the IMN. 

At the burial of its dead members, an IMN leader, Sunusi Koki expressly vowed that its member would not respect the laws of the Federal Government even if it means them paying the ultimate price. He went on to charge them to continue to resist – a code word for continuing to attack security agencies.

The brazenness of these extremists can only be understood in the context of the support that Iran is actively given them. The logistics, funding and arms flowing from Iran to the extremists is a logical explanation for why they think they are ready to fight Nigeria's military. That country, through the utterances of its senior officials, including past and present ambassadors, have given IMN members the false hopes that it would invade Nigeria once they can be suicidal enough to get as many as possible of their members killed in clashes with state agencies.

Iran in conjunction with the elite wing of the IMN mount intense propaganda to make extremist look like the victim in what can only be a ploy to limit the ability of Nigeria's security agencies from checking these excesses – it is an equivalent of the no-fly zone that had in other unfortunate countries given terrorists the upper hand to topple government. Since the clash with NPF in Kano this propaganda has only intensified even as the threat of unleashing more mayhem with protests and treks increases.

The world may be struggling to understand what went wrong for the seeming popular protests in the Arab Spring to be hijacked by terrorist but the scenario is playing out before our very eyes again here in Nigeria where IMN is expanding a terror network it imported from Iran. Nations are being misled into seeing IMN rebels as victims as evident in the statement from the United States that made condemnation without adequate understanding of the facts.

If another fiasco must be avoided the Iranian-IMN aggression in Nigeria must be understood and treated as what it is, the new face of terrorism.

Human Rights Group Wants IMN Designated A Terrorist Organizations

A human rights group, Centre for Social Justice, Equity and Transparency (CESJET) has called on the United Nation mission in Nigeria to prevail on the United Nations General Assembly to designate the IMN as a terrorist organization.

The right group described the penchant of the IMN to attack security agents and destruction of lives and properties as similar to a terrorist organizations.

Addressing journalists in Abuja, Executive Secretary Comrade Ikpa Isaac, urged the UN to quickly intervene on the incessant attacks on police and other security agencies by members of the Shiite movement also known as

According to him, the numerous atrocities being committed by the IMN against the Nigerian state can no longer be ignored by the world.

He said, "It is now obvious that the recent clash in Kano where the sect had the boldness to open fire on innocent Nigerians is a clear indication that they are anarchists who may soon declare their own version of Islamic State."

Speaking further, he said "even as we wait for international community to act, we call on the Federal Government to arrest the leaders of the sect found to have been behind the Zaria protest and should subsequently be prosecuted as warning that the life of every single policeman in Nigeria counts."

He called on Nigerians both at home and in the diasporas to come out en mass to condemn what it described as the new low that the IMN has sunken to.

Isaac said the silence of Nigerians and the international community over the conspiracy of IMN and the Iranian authorities against constituted authority in Nigeria is no longer golden.

It described the incessant attacks on police by members of the INN as sad, adding that the avoidable loss of any human life diminishes our humanity irrespective of whether they are fanatics or not.

He said, "in this case, not only did IMN members embarked on what amounted to induced suicide they also saw to it that they killed policemen drafted to keep the peace."

He expressed the group's condolences to the families of the deceased policemen, saying, "we pray that God consoles those they left behind particularly dependents who now have to go through life without the support of their breadwinners."

He commended in strongest terms possible condemn "the unwarranted attack on policemen that were drafted to contain the IMN protests that was reportedly held as a cover to forment trouble."

He said, "The attack is an attack just not on the Nigeria Police but on every law abiding citizen of this country who now feel threatened by a rampaging sect that has continued to place its stamp of lawlessness on several of our major cities. The police were reportedly drafted to that protest upon receipt of intelligence that the protest was meant to be bloody and it turned out to be just that.

"One can only shudder at the thought of what would have happened at the protest had the police not been present to maintain the peace. At the risk of sounding judgemental, the outcome would have been a repeat of the past when IMN members use their various processions to inflict untold hardship on other citizens – considering that they had the dark intention of causing violence, the absence of the police would have led to persons of other sects and faiths being massacred in their scores.

According to him, the Kano incident marks an escalation in the pace with which the Shiite group is challenging the Nigerian state, saying they had repeatedly taken on the military, including instances during which they killed military personnel.

He said, "As we have seen in the aftermath of the Kano incident, IMN has launched a propaganda blitz with which it is presenting as the victim instead of the aggressor. It has started a campaign of making policemen that were on official duty to appear like criminals and murderers. This absurdity would only stand for as long as Nigerians delay in calling IMN to order."
