The Islamic Movement in Nigeria has received intelligence
reports indicating that Nigerian Security agents have planned to carry out
false flag operations unleashing mayhem in some unmentioned cities in the
country, in an attempt to scuttle the marking of Qud’s Day celebration in the
country. This annual event, the IMN had peacefully marked successively for the
past three decades in solidarity with the suffering people of Palestine every
last week of the Holy month of Ramadan.
Two years ago, the event held simultaneously in more than
twenty towns and cities across Nigeria, but it was only in Zaria that soldiers
under the command of Lt. Col. S.O. Okuh brutally attacked the peaceful
protesters, killing 34 people, including three children of our Leader Sheikh Zakzaky.
With the benefit of hindsight, that was only a dress rehearsal for the Zaria
genocidal attack of December 2015, in which over a thousand members of the IMN
were extra-judicially killed in cold blood.
For the benefit of doubts, we wish to reiterate to the
public that IMN has been a peaceful entity from conception and has consistently
employed peaceful means throughout its existence. That is not going to change,
no matter the provocation. We therefore want the general public to know that
any act of violence done in our name is not from us, and we by this hereby
dissociate ourselves from it and denounce same.
The Nigerian constitution has guaranteed citizens the right
to free assembly and peaceful protest. This we will employ as we have always
done in all our gatherings and processions. We will mark the Annual
international Qud’s Day as has been the tradition just as it will be marked
simultaneously all over the World. Nigeria cannot be an exception. We will
bring out the name of Nigeria to take its rightful place among the comity of
Nations in this regard.
