On  Tuesday the 21/5/2019, thousands ofl followers of Sheikh Ibraheem Zakzaky in the city of Kaduna, showed up in a fresh peaceful protest, calling for the Immediate and unconditional release of Sheikh Zakzaky, his wife and several others in illegal detention.

The protest was led by the leading brother of the unit, Malam Aliyu Turmizi and was attended by thousands from all nook and cranny of the Kaduna city.

It kicked off from Kabala West junction, Western by-pass, Kaduna at about 6:00p.m. The protesters marched raising Sheikh Zakzaky’s posters and chanting slogans for his release.

In a brief and concise address by the leading brother of the unit, Sheikh Aliyu Turmizi voiced out the Movement’s stance, he says "we will never to fold thier arms while our leader is in illegal detention". He expressed that, brothers of the Movement vow to proceed with these protests across all nook and cranny of this country till Sheikh Zakzaky regains his fundamental rights.

Sheikh Zakzaky spent over three and half years in illegal detention despite a federal Court order to release him. He had since been acquitted of any crime by the Court and ordered his release with compensation for the damages done to him, however, the Nigerian authorities remained passive towards this order and thus the series of calls by millions of Sheikh Zakzaky’s supporters.
