Report: How Jonathan Killed Three Sons Of Sheikh Zakzaky (PHOTOS)
Shiites around the world have commended Sheikh Zakzaky and the millions of faithfuls in Nigeria for their exemplary show of inter-faith dialogue, peace, tolerance and patience, praying that they keep the spirit up in the face of extreme provocation and persecution.
Sheikh El-Zakzaky is being accused of running a parallel government for over 20 years in Zaria.
According to a report by AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA), the embattled Sheikh Zakzaky is a man of peace who has endured what many African leaders would not accept as humans.
The ABNA states that when former president of Nigeria, Goodluck Jonathan’s government killed three of Sheikh Zakzaky’s sons last July, along with 31 other faithfuls, the Shiites leader did nothing to avenge the deaths.

There was no protest staged by the respected leader of as many as 10 million Muslims in Nigeria though he lost three out of his seven sons. He simply mourned and promised to only fight Nigeria via legal means.
The ABNA report further debates that very few African respected figures ever command such control and character.
According to the statement, many religious leaders order violent and deadly protests for stupid things like “beauty pageants” and someone tearing a Quran in faraway lands.
Any other Nigerian leader or elite known, will never and has never exhibited such peaceful nature and patience as extolled by the Prophets and Messiahs.
In comparison, the report alludes that when General Buhari, the current president of Nigeria, actually lost the 2011 elections, he said, if the election malpractice that transpired then repeated in 2015, “the baboon and dog will be soaked in the same blood”, a statement which though may not have been a speech of violence, will well have inspired violence had Buhari lost in 2015.

ABNA’s report claims that for over a year since the unaddressed massacre of Zakzaky’s faithfuls, the millions did nothing; it was only when according to them they saw at 12 noon that the Nigerian army stationed men with boxes of ammunition in front of their center that fateful Saturday, December 12, that they got irked.
The Shiites immediately foresaw another massacre coming and asked the soldiers why they were stationed there, begging them to move back.
This was when they picked sticks and stones and went to block the advance of more soldiers towards them including the vehicle of the chief of army staff.
In the video clip they are heard saying: “Why did you station troops in front of our door this morning? Do you plan to massacre us again If so, do it right here, we will rather die pretending to fight.”
The degree of army massacre at all their sites, even may unrelated to the road block, that followed proved that their apprehension and precaution was in order, ABNA reports.
