deploring the current situation of uncertainty in the lives of Nigerian to the advantage of ruling class is dangerous especially when the Shia Movement is seen by the Public as the only way out of the multifaceted problems.

The Kaduna state Police Commissioner Tambari Yabo  wrote  the Nigeria’s Inspector General of Police what he called Intelligence Report on the activities of Shias and Islamic Sect in Zaria Local Government of Kaduna´ in February 2009’. In the report the Commissioner alleges that members of the Islamic Movement (Shia movement)were stockpiling arms/ammunitions  in the Movement’s Film village at Dembo village and that the village also serves as training ground for Islamic Militants.

In the item 3 of the report the commissioner writes “ Intelligence Report further reveals that Fadiyya Islamic Center, which serves as the headquarters of the Islamic group in Zaria, not only accommodates some Shiite members; but also serves as a center where films are produced. These films are shot at the centre for onward delivery to Iran and other Shiites countries. These Films portray Nigeria’s image in bad light. This attracts sympathy for monetary form of donations from those countries…”

Despite all the unnecessary allegations cited by uninformed commissioner, investigations showed that the report was unintelligent and baseless. Immediately after the report,  series of  reporters from some National Dailies and interest groups visited the Film village and the Center  and gave various reports of what they saw. None of them reported any sign of militant activities or arms as alleged by the commissioner.

And of course, it is ridiculous to consider the report as intelligent, but a mere spurious speculation with insidious intent.

The Commissioner still  continues in the item 3 “ The center also serves as a printing center of two(2) newspapers namely Al-Mizan and Pointer Express. The papers are claimed to be published at Babban Dodo area of Zaria city. The Residence of Alhaji Hamidu Danlami, which was burnt during the crises at Babban Dodo was actually claimed to be the Publishing center. It was discovered to be false, because there was no sign of any printing machine or some past prints. The burnt house was purely residential. “

After the burning of the house of Alhaji Hamidu  it was revealed  that the house was purely residential as acknowledged by the Commissioner and this of course  goes to show that the house was burnt under the order of the Commissioner for allegedly serving as publishing center.  More so, there is no doubt that the thugs were sponsored by commissioner in collaboration with his masters in both the state and Federal levels. His statement reveals more” It was discovered to be false, because there was no sign of any printing machine or some past prints. The burnt house was purely residential´. The commissioner was not able to get any sign of printing materials though he ordered the burning of the house for allegedly printing Al-mizan and Pointer Express.

During the Ashura 1430 programme in Zaria this year government sponsored thugs  backed by heavily armed police, attacked the peaceful procession and later moved to the residence of Alhaji Hamidu and set it ablaze.  Four members were killed along streets in Zaria by the Thugs.

It would be recalled that, at the heat of the crisis in Zaria during Ashura, the Kaduna state Police Commissioner Tambari Yabo Muhammad led trucks full of armed policemen to the house of Sheikh Zakzaky with an obvious intent of invasion. Also, miscreant who carried out the mayhem in Zaria operated unhindered before the eyes of the police, and none was arrested for any crime. This indicated the CP’s complicity in the heinous crime.

Now, about two weeks ago some of the sponsored thugs in Babban Dodo paid visit to the leader of the Islamic Movement Sheikh Ibraheem Zakzaky in his residence expressing their remorse and begging for pardon from leader of their action during Ashura programme.

Speaking on behalf of the repentant thugs, the youth leader  expressed  dismay on how they were fooled into attacking the peaceful members and determined not to commit such hideous act in future.

The youth leader explained that the purpose of their visit to express their remorse over the attack they have carried out and to seek for pardon from the leader over the Ashura incidence where they were incited by the  Government to attack the residence of Alhaji Hamidu Danlami  in Babban Dodo area.

The youths, who majority of them are below the age of 30, expressed remorsefulness on how they have been lured to carry out the unfortunate attacks.

After listening to them the leader of the Islamic Movement explained that the enemies always use divide-and-rule tactic to have control over people. He added that  part of the methods used by those in the position of power is to subject the masses to abject poverty in order to use them to achieve their devilish agenda.

The leader explained further that the enemies of Islam have, for a very long time, understand that Muslims cannot be controlled without removing  the teachings of the holy Quran from being practised to extent that Muslims read Quran but do not stand by its teaching.  The Enemies also try to disunite the Ummah through buildings of many Mosques so that Friday Prayer, which is a sign of strength and unity, is not performed collectively.

The leader cautioned that what the thugs did of destruction of properties and stealing in the name of booty is not the teaching of Islam.

He concluded by calling on the youths to be mindful of any act they do as they will be accountable on the day of Judgment. He added that repentance has three conditions- being remorseful over what one did, to avoid committing it in the future and to return the stolen items or seek forgiveness from the owners.

That is how it ended; the thugs who were hired with peanuts turn repentants and expressed their remorse. one cannot but to conclude that there is level in which the so called thugs can be fooled in spite of the abject poverty and unemployment that characterized the Nigerian society today. Those who sponsor others stand the risk of facing deep resistance from the thugs and the general public. This is because of the level of awareness which is fast spreading amongst public with regard to social injustice amongst the so called Nigerian leaders- situation that manifested itself in all aspect human and economic lives of the masses.

So, deploring the current situation of uncertainty in the lives of Nigerian to the advantage of ruling class is dangerous especially when the Movement is seen by the Public as the only way out of the multifaceted problems.

In recent years Wahhabis’ influence is much than ever. Shias and also non-Shias suffer from Wahhabis. Radical Wahhabis give false report to the government to sow discord between Shias and the government. Their aim is to eliminate Shias from the earth. Now Wahhabis spreaded in the world, Such as Saudi Arabia, Yemen, South Pole, Europe, Asia and other countries. We, as a Muslims, can destroy them just by unity.
