A very reliable report reaching us with regards
to the scheduled visit of President Muhammadu Buhari to Katsina is that the authorities,
along with security forces have completed devising a devilish plot to attack
members of the Islamic Movement in Katsina.
The stratagem involves the use of touts
dressed as political or other opponents, who would lay ambush on the path of
the President during his visit in Katsina. These paid touts would throw stones
at the President and shout him down. They would then attribute this to members
of the Islamic Movement and use that as a basis to launch fresh attacks on
members of the Islamic Movement in continuation of the brutal clampdown they
started in Zaria, which obviously they are yet to complete.
The whole of this last Thursday was used in
plotting this scheme with people earmarked to execute the plan, including some
judges who would be required to give long term sentences for those arrested and
brought before them. That way, they hope to attack and forcibly prevent the
marking of the Annual Martyrs Day slated for Saturday in Katsina. The same day
has earlier been marked in Zaria, Kano, Potiskum, Gombe and other towns across
the states without an incidence.
We therefore wish to draw the attention of the
public that members of the Islamic Movement have never attacked any individual
or group for any reason whatsoever. In fact, revenge has never been our modus
operandi. We solely rely on Allah alone and He is sufficient for us as a
protector and helper. Thus, should anyone see such unruly conduct in Katsina,
it should be known and taken as a design by the authorities. We completely
dissociate ourselves from such.
What the authorities ought to pre-occupy itself
with is implementation of people-oriented programmes and seeking ways to
alleviate the suffering of the masses rather than plotting to shed blood. We
call on the people and especially members of the Islamic Movement to remain
vigilant and avoid responding to any provocative actions by the authorities or
their paid agents. We would go ahead with our scheduled Annual Martyrs Day as
planned. Members of the Islamic Movement should remain orderly as usual.
May Allah annihilate our enemies.
