The attack on defenseless civilians was so ruthless that the Nigerian army descended on all members cited within the house of Shaikh Zakzaky (H) at Gyellesu, Zaria- the type of  killing prohibited by law. Children and even the aged were battered with machine gun fire while burning some alive.

The topic on Martyrdom and its Status was delivered by Mal Abbare Gombe where he reminded the gatherings that who so ever vows the kalimat “Laillah illallah, wa anna Muhammad Rasulullah….”, is going to be tested in life that may even lead to his martyrdom as carried out by oppressors boefore sighting various examples and references.

Mal Abubakar Abdullahi delivered a speech “Responsibilities of a Leader on his members”. He reminded all on the concept of a Leader and who is ‘the leader in Islam’. Shaikh Ibraheem Yaqoub El Zakzaky (H) is a leader is a reformer who has been foretold for many years; Shehu Usmanu bin Fodio (TR) was one of them and today we have seen this reality were many renowned scholars like  Ayatullah Kamal Haideri  who expressed that history has never recorded a reformer who attracted many hearts towards Ahlul Bait (AS) as seen with Shaikh Zakzaky (H). he added that Alas this same renowned reformer is in the hands of oppressors under ailing hearth condition due to the incidence of Zaria December 12th-14th, 2015. What will be our responsibilities on our leader’s state of life?   Would we stay mute and watch his health deteriorate coupled with his illegal detention? Never we shall never remain relax but follow all legal measures in seeing the release of our leader.

On The Health condition of the leader of IMN, Shaikh Ibraheem Zakzaky (H) lecture was delivered by Mal Badamasi Yaquob, a brother to the leader. The agenda to see to the killing of the Shaikh Zakzaky (H) by the arrogant world order has failed following the event of the Zaria December massacre explained Mal Badamasi.

The army massacred all within sight until eventually they reached Shaikh Zakzaky (H) and his family. They fired sporadic machine gunfire that saw at least 40 bullets within the eyes hand and leg of Shaikh Zakzaky (H) that saw the final rattling of one eye and injuring the other with gun shots that have created a big cavity within the bone of the leg. They also tried to fire gun shot at the head of Shaikh with the hope of blowing it off but the guns refuse to erupt.  Malama Zeenatuddeen also has a least 60 bullets in her body that till today have been prevented from seeing professional medical personnel’s from treating her, he explained.

Mal Badamasi also explain gradually all evil plots that were meant to kill Shaikh Zakzaky (H) but failed as the President, Commanding military officers and the state governor were waiting to hear news of death of sheikh Zakzaky to pronouce him dead. Mallam Badamasi further said After getting the information of the certification of the dead of Shaikh Zakzaky (H) they expressed their happiness only later to hear that he was not dead and the news have spread all over the world.  Those seeing the operation took Shaikh to the mortuary fully satisfied  that Shaikh is dead only to see Shaikh Zakzaky voicing out the Kalimat and asked to see the Doctor. Likewise, after seeing Doctors they were surprise with the speedy recovery of Shaikh their records have never shown such amazing recovery, as they have never thought he could heel or have a speedy recovery.

Shaikh Zakzaky (H) has passed through various stage of health condition with only an eye left with the remaining eye in bad health with the medical Doctor allowed and brought by the Nigerian government to see to its treatment and medication has pass his limits, thus all concerned citizen are calling for his immediate and unconditional release.
