Shaikh Ibraheem Zakzaky |
Report By Stephen Lawan
Shortly after the Nahjul Balagha
study at the Hussainiyyah Baqiyyatullah, Zaria on yesterday, His Eminence
Shaikh Ibraheem Zakzaky briefly narrated how the plan to kill him by the
out-going President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan administration through the Zazzau
Emirate council was hatched.
Shaikh Zakzaky explained that, the
out-going government was so much desperate to accomplish an unfinished
business, which is to kill him and therefore hatched the plan to leave behind a
problem that the in-coming government will inherit and carry over.
To this end, he said, the Zazzau
Emirate council under the leadership of Emir of Zazzau Shehu Idris was given
the job in which they employed services of thugs and armed them with dangerous
weapons.
“Armed with dangerous weapons, the
hired thugs were called out by name at a meeting and given meagre amount.
Plastic containers filled with petrol were also stored in a barber’s shop close
to my residence, to be hurled into the house as fireballs during the attack”.
His Eminence further pointed out
that, the hired thugs launched an offensive Thursday night last week, but was
repelled by the volunteer guards at his residence. “They re-grouped and came
back, but were pushed back on each move. This had been going on from 7 o’clock
in the morning till one o’clock in the afternoon”.
When the plan failed, the hired
thugs were gathered at the Emir’s palace, ready for another offensive at night.
“The interview with me on the BBC, in which I exposed the plan and the
complicity of the Emirate, stopped them”.
Shaikh Zakzaky wondered how the
perpetrators of the crime would think a plan of this magnitude can be kept
secret. “We know the role of every one of them in hatching and execution of the
plan; most of those whose services were employed were not actually in agreement
with the plan”.
He however prayed Allah to expose
and take vengeance on those behind the move, and Allah’s protection on targets
of the attack.
To the perpetrators of the act,
Shaikh Zakzaky said: “Let them plan and execute whatever atrocity they deem
fit, on Allah we rely”.
