Eight years after, the Islamic movement, under the leadership of Eminence, Sheikh Ibraheem Zakzaky, has called for the prosecution of the executors of the 2015 massacre in Zaria, Kaduna State.

A member of the Islamic Movement Prof. Dauda Nalado, disclosed in Abuja, at the press briefing to commemorate the eight years of the Zaria massacre, extended the Movement’s appreciation to those who stood by them during their hard time.

He noted that silence or applause on the Zaria massacre would encourage such ‘atrocities’ in other places.

Nalado said: “As you are all aware, tyranny and injustice never flourishes, and there is always a day of reckoning. We will never forget whatever oppression meted out to us.

“We would like to once again reiterate our call for justice for the masterminds and executors of the Zaria massacre be brought to account. We wish to extend our appreciation to all those who stood by us during the trying moments.”

He also condemned the war crimes of apartheid Israel in Gaza and expressed its solidarity with the Palestinian struggle.

He added, “We wish to once again join hands with other well-meaning Nigerians to condemn the Tudun-Biri massacre of yet another group of innocent Muslims who gathered to celebrate the Maulud of our noble Prophet Muhammad (SAAW).

“The avoidable act was committed in the name of “mistake” by the Nigerian security forces. We make bold to say that the unfortunate and adamant silence or even applause on the Zaria massacre encouraged committing such atrocities in other places.

“The recent condemnations from numerous groups against the Tudun-Biri massacre are commendable. This is therefore another eye-opener as, “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.”
