The
Islamic Movement in Nigeria, otherwise known as Shiites and followers of Sheikh
Ibrahim El-Zakzaky have said that nothing can deter them from their procession.
The Shiites argued that
though they are a peaceful group who only pursue their religious rites, noted
that they are facing huge harassment from the security operatives.
Speaking at a ceremony, as
part of Ashura commemoration, held at the Juma’at mosque on Wednesday, Dr
Sanusi Abdulkadir lamented how members of the movement are being arrested and
allegedly killed for practicing their religious beliefs.
According to him, they are
peace-loving and law-abiding citizens, but they are facing harassment from the
government when they practice their religion.
“We will continue with our
Ashura procession no matter what. We will not be deterred by any forces because
we believe we are doing it for Allah and his messenger,” he said.
