Members of the Islamic Movement of Nigeria on
Wednesday vowed to protests against the
continued detention of the leader and founder
of the movement, Sheikh, Ibrahim El-Zakyzalky
by trekking from Kaduna to Abuja.
The disciples mostly young girls and boys said
the injustice against the movement could no
longer be tolerated adding that the government
has shown insensitivity over the plight of the
sect leader.
The cleric had been under custody of the
security agencies since the clash between the
group and men of the Nigerian Army last year.
A report of the investigation panel set up by
Governor Nasir El-Rufai submitted last week is
being disputed by the group which alleged that
the report of the panel is biased.
The group had faulted the report and the
investigations by the panel saying the failure of
the panel to interview their leader indicated the
panel was not positioned to find out the truth of
the clash.
All the protesting girls wore black attires while
the boys wore other attires.
They all had posters baring the portraits of the
detained cleric.
