Members of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria, otherwise known as Shiites, have threatened to storm Abuja to protest the continued detention of their leader, Sheikh Ibrahim El-Zakzaky, in the Department of State Service, DSS.
The group, under the aegis of ‘Save Zakzaky’s Life Group of Nigeria,’ led by its National Coordinator, Bashir Marafa, said that following the expiration of the 14-day ultimatum given to the Federal Government within which to release El-Zakzaky, Shiites in millions would occupy the federal capital until their leader was released.
“We have the right to show our grievances and concerns in peaceful manner.

“The police, soldiers and all other security agencies should take note. They should never harass, or intimidate us. Our slogan is free Zakzaky. Our mission in Abuja is to seek the release of our leader, Shaik Ibrahim Zakzaky. Nothing, but that,” the group said.
