A Nigerian media activist and university professor who lost four children in defense of Nigerian Shiite leader Sheikh Zakzaki says the Zionist regime, Saudi Arabia and the United States are seeking to assassinate Sheikh Zakzaki.
After the Nigerian army attacked the Zaria Husseiniyah and killed thousands of people for believing in and participating in mourning ceremonies, there were signs of direct conspiracy by Saudi Arabia, the United States and Israel in this crime, and the direct participation of the Saudi embassy at their request. It became clear from the Nigerian government that Sheikh Zakzaki had been assassinated, with some movements warning of an Al Saud conspiracy to assassinate Sheikh Zakzaki.
Recently, Sheikh Adam Ahmad Soho, a representative of Nigerian Shiite leader Sheikh Zakzaki, confirmed that there were reports that the Nigerian government was committing such acts and crimes against Shiites in his country with the green light of Al Saud. “The Nigerian government, with the financial support of Al Saud and the Zionist regime and the United States, is putting pressure on Nigerian Shiites.”
Also, some time ago, Professor “Abdullah Delandi”, the driver of Sheikh Zakzaki, told Fars News Agency: “According to the information we have received, the United States and the Zionist regime are the main culprits behind this sedition, which is the killing of Nigerian Shiites and the subsequent brutal imprisonment of the sheikh under false pretenses, and ultimately the prolongation of his imprisonment.”
In this regard, the Fars correspondent spoke with Dr. Issa Adam Vaziri, a media activist and professor at Ahmad Bello University in Zaria, and one of the victims of the attack on the Baqiyatallah Zaria Hosseiniyah.
In response to the 2015 massacre in Nigeria, he said: “This happened during the presidency of Mohammad Bohari, General Tokur Buratai, the then Chief of the Nigerian Joint Chiefs of Staff, and Nasir al-Rufai, the Governor of Zaria, against the Nigerian Shiites and their leader, Sheikh Zakzaki I lost my four children, Mohammad, Fatemeh, Hassan and Hussein, all of whom were undergraduates. In this incident, the Nigerian military martyred and wounded people using advanced weapons that are only used in wars between powerful countries.”
“Isa Vaziri” added: “On December 12-14, 2015, Nigeria military personnel opened fire on the oppressed people of Nigeria, and all four of my children were martyred together. The Nigerian army entered Sheikh Zakzaki’s house to kill him, but his students, who were at his house, tried to defend the sheikh, who was shot at by the soldiers, and my children (praise be to God) were among them, who were martyred.
He further added: “About a week after the massacre of Shiites in Nigeria, the Nigerian president himself traveled to Qatar to report on this action to his Salafi masters and to present to them what had happened.”
Saudi Crown Prince Bin Salman also said in an interview with the US Times about a year after the massacre: “He ordered the Nigerian president to carry out the assassination in order to stop what they call Iranian influence on the African continent, thus declaring a proxy war against Sheikh Zakzaki and his disciples by the United States, Saudi Arabia and the Zionist regime.”
Recently, Sheikh Zakzaki’s lawyer, Ishaq Adam, responded to a question about why the Abuja authorities did not want to release Sheikh Zakzaki and his wife and what was the obstacle to their release; said: “Nigerian authorities do not want to release Sheikh Ibrahim Zakzaki because they consider his presence a threat to themselves.”
