Malam Tahir Zaria, one of the victims of 25th July, 2014, explains how he witnessed the martyrdom of Sayyid Hamid Zakzaky, Sayyid Ahmad Zakzaky and Sayyid Mahmud Zakzaky.
"After all what had happened, happened, what stood in my mind was the instance where Sayyid Zakzaky uttered, "Allahummah taqabbal Qurbani", before the corps of his 3 beloved sons laid down in his parlour, and the sermon delivered to the few brothers circumvent the corps". Explained Malam Tahir.
Malama Zainab Kurmin Mashi Kaduna, a victim that narrowly survived with a heavy gun shot and pro-longed bleeding explained how she witnessed the martyrdom of tenths of brothers and sisters at her watchful eyes in Gyallesu, Sunday evening, 12th December, 2015, in Malam Hamza Yawuri’s house and the packing house of hurras(guards) of the Movement. She explained the steadfastness of Shaheed Sheikh Mahmud Turi, a great vicegerent of Sayyid Zakzaky in Kano zone of the Movement, how the wanton killers of Zaria massacre killed all and sundry in the precincts of Sayyid Zakzaky’s house, set the house on fire after looting worth items and rounding up of Sheikh Zakzaky’s body and his wife as corps. This proceeded also the rounding up of over 100 sisters and younger children from Sheikh Zakzaky’s house to the Jaji Military cantonment in Kaduna.
Dr. Bashir Aljazari, a disciple of Sayyid Zakzaky and a reporter to the Al-Alam International Media(Arabic voice) explained how they suffered Tuesday, 15th of December, 2015, Kaduna trial and tribulations.
"No sooner after two-day incessant blood birth in Zaria, brothers and sisters in Kaduna come out to air their disagreement with the discontinued extermination of innocent lives in Zaria when they were repelled with live bullets and teargas by mobile Police. Before they started shooting, a Police officer of the rank of D.P.O. confronted us at the fore-front of the peaceful demonstrations, admonishing us to terminate the demonstration, or faced forceful measures, adding that, halting the demonstration is a command from high-ranking federal office. On trying to provide compromise as our aim is calling for stoppage of Zaria blood birth, they outrageously open fire, arrested us, tutored us and finally incarcerated us after taking days in Kaduna Police command office". Dr. Bashir Aljari explained.
Among other veteran martyrs that briefed the attendants include Malm. Amina Shaheed Dr. Mustapha Zaria, and Shaheed Ibrahim Badiko Kaduna.
