Our attention has been drawn to a
leaked intelligence document titled “Plans By Islamic Movement Of Nigeria To
Attack Service Personnel And Families” with reference number 3DIV/G2/240/01
dated 12 May 2016.
This so-called
"intelligence" document presently going round among service
personnel, mischievously insinuated that there are indications that members of
the Islamic Movement in Nigeria, IMN, have concluded plans to commence attacks
on service personnel and their families with the aim of abducting them.
This
"fairytale-like"document further claimed that the aim is to kidnap
targeted persons and use them as bargaining tools with security agencies.
Against this background, the
document therefore mischievously directed unit commanders to disseminate the
information to troops under command and to evolve proactive ways of ensuring
security of personnel at all times to avert the plans of the IMN.
The Islamic Movement in Nigeria
(IMN) hereby dissociates itself from any of such acts or insinuated plans to
kidnap or attack anybody anywhere at any time.
The IMN does not believe in nor
practice violence in any form whatsoever and quite unlike the Nigerian Army,
embraces civil means of seeking redress as practically displayed in the
cases filed before the courts of law seeking redress.
Obviously, certain mischievous security
operatives are misfeeding the security services with some false information to
instigate them against the IMN. We categorically condemn this wicked and
devilish attempt by these unscrupulous elements who use their offices to
fabricate lies in the name of intelligence reports to seduce the authorities
into wanton and incessant killings of innocent civilians as witnessed in the
December Zaria massacre. That was also how fabricated intelligence report
emanated from as high a place as the Presidential villa claiming that the late
kidnapped Nigerian Army Colonel was kidnapped by the IMN only to turn out to be
completely untrue.
The reason for these fake
intelligence reports is not farfetched as it is clear that the perpetrators of
last December Zaria massacre are by all means looking for reasons not only to
justify their crime against humanity, but to also cleanse themselves of it.
The world witnessed how Nigerian
Army, in the most inhuman manners, launched a genocidal attack on the IMN
stabbing women with bayonets on their breasts and private parts, burning
innocent unarmed civilians to death and indiscriminately shooting women,
children and youth.
Hoping to satisfy their wishful
thinking of instigating the members of the IMN into violence by all means in
order to demonize them and give them a bad name, they have engaged in all forms
of calumny against the IMN and its leadership. They are working by all means to
stop the IMN from seeking redress through peaceful and legal means as evident
in their attack on the IMN legal Counsels and doing all possible to stop the
cases before the federal Court and the ICC in The Hague.
We reiterate our stand that we can
never be intimidated into violence and shall continue to seek redress through
peaceful means.
Finally, we call for the immediate
and unconditional release of our revered leader his Eminence Sheikh Ibraheem
Zakzaky.

Ibrahim Musa
