…NIM Grand Coalition accuses Buhari’s Government of brutal force and murder of Shiite peaceful protesters
…Plans solidarity for the Shi’ites movement
The Nigeria Intervention Movement, NIM has said it will confront the President Muhammadu Buhari led federal government over the alleged murder of some Shi’ites who were protesting in Abuja on Monday.
Recall that there had been reports of a clash between the police and the Shi’ites members protesting the continuous detention of their leader Ibrahim El-Zakzaky.
NIM said this in a statement sent on Monday.
The statement reads:
The grand national coalition of Nigeria Intervention Movement, NIM wish to condemn the Federal Government in the strongest terms for using operatives of the Nigeria police to inflict brute force against the peaceful protest organized by members of the Shi’ites movement of Nigeria, leading to the reported murder of scores of Shiite peaceful protesters today.
We find the killings of defenceless citizens by the Nigerian police during a peaceful protest as inhuman and mindless, something that has further accentuated the reputation of the Nigerian government as irresponsible, reckless and anti democratic. NIM as the emergent alternative political leadership of the Nigerian peoples, shall however, not stand aloof, fold its arm and watch the country turned into a police state, where defenceless are terrorised and murdered by the incompetent cabalistic government of General Muhammadu Buhari
We hereby demand that indicted happy trigger police operatives involved in this unfortunate cruelty and criminality be immediately brought to book and withdrawn from further confronting the peaceful protest of the Shi’ites movement. Finally, NIM demands a strong apology and compensation to the Shiite movement from General Muhammadu Buhari’s drowning government as we shall not hesitate to provide fraternal solidarity to the peace loving Shi’ites movement in their legitimate cause and protest for an injustice to one is an injustice to all.
