he leader of the Islamic Movement of Nigeria, a group propagating the spread of Shi’te Islam in Nigeria, Ibrahim Elzakzaky, has been arrested by Nigerian troops, following a siege on his Zaria residence, PREMIUM TIMES can reveal.
A credible source in the sect’s hierarchy also told PREMIUM TIMES that a top leader of the movement, Muhammadu Turi, and the head of the medical team of the sect, Mustapha Saidu, and several others were killed during the siege.
The Nigerian Army and members of the sect have accused each other of instigating attacks that led to the death of members of the movement on Saturday. While the Army accused the Shiite followers of attempting to assassinate Nigeria’s Chief of Army Staff, Tukur Buratai, the Islamic movement said soldiers simply decided to attack “defenseless people”.
It was gathered that the Nigerian troops sustained a crackdown on the members of the sect throughout the night as heavy shootings and sounds of explosions were heard in Gellesu and Sokoto Road, where Hussainiyya – the spiritual centre of the sect – is located.
Residents of the area told our reporter that they saw armoured tanks demolishing the Hussainiyya shrine and the residence of the leader of the sect.
A source at the military hospital in Chindit Barracks Depot of the Nigerian Army, Zaria, told PREMIUM TIMES that they received 19 bodies of people killed in the encounter.

When this people carry out their evil act, Nigerian pass blame on buhari and army. When buhari and army ct to stop their evil act, Nigerian also pass blame on them too. Which way Nigerian and how can you be satisfy. Where defenseless people attacked in their house? Has people also forgot that anytime they made a protest, there is explosion. These ppl may not be happy bcos their BH brothers are being killed by army. Nigerian should not be ignorant of all these
