El-Zakzaky's Daughter Speaks On How Nigerian Army Killed Three Of Her Brothers

Suhaila Ibraheem, the daughter of Sheikh Ibraheem El-Zakzaky, leader of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria has narrated the series of events that led to the shooting and capture of her father by the Nigerian military.

Sahaila reveals that the Sheikh was shot several times as opposed to the prevailing theory that he was only shot twice.

She said the detained Shiite leader was shot in his ‘right leg and left hand’ while two other bullets brushed him ‘beneath his left eye’.

The Islamic cleric’s daughter also revealed that her mother was shot in the stomach and leg, while her brothers were ‘all killed in cold blood’.

In a message posted on the website of the IMN, and translated from Hausa Language to English by Ammar M. Rajab, the daughter of the Shiite leader said: “I am recording this message to you because we understand many members of the Movement do not understand what actually happened when Shaikh Zakzaky arrested.”

“We were at home with my younger brothers, when the soldiers entered, we are in our room then, and the soldiers entered and started shooting sporadically. My younger brothers; Hammad, Ali and Humaid were all killed in cold blood on our own eyes. We understand that the Nigerian soldiers are trying to cover and hide these atrocities, because they are afraid of what it will result to, that they are thinking aftermath of the massacre. Surely, the Nigerian army killed my three younger brothers; Hammad and Humaid they shot on their forehead, surely they have been killed.”

“However they shot my mother in her stomach and leg, and god’s willing, it is not that too hard to her, because even she was shot, she still walked with the bullet (in her leg and stomach). Before we left the place, they beat her up (our mother), at the time we were with some of the sisters. The sisters that we are together, the soldiers all pulled their veils, and they all beat us. After all, they took us from our house to Barracks, and then disunite us with Shaikh Zakzaky.”

“Some of our brothers and sisters don’t know the exact number of our brothers that are been killed by the Nigerian army. It’s precisely that brothers and sisters (members of IMN) stand with their foot (firmly), and many people sacrificed. Actually, before they (the Nigerian army) reached to Shaikh Zakzaky they killed many people; they killed hundreds people, only almighty Allah knows the thousand that were been killed (become martyrs).”

“It is time brothers and sisters to prepared, stand firmly and prepared to sacrifice, this is because, initially, every person that took this path knows which path it is. It’s in our own knowledge that God test (in this path) shall be posed to us. Let’s look on our leader; he was tested severally, his 6 children were killed. Our brothers and sisters have to understand that it’s time to prepare ourselves.”

“Our leader before he was been shot and arrested he said; “Alhamdulillah, brothers and sisters stand firmly, and they stand beyond our thinking.”

“Our leader he is proud of us. Let’s not be silent, do not let our silent lead something to happen to our leader. Perhaps, let’s resist, don’t let our silent to hurt us. Let’s continues our struggle.”

“Meanwhile, brothers and sisters let continue our struggle, and don’t let this to make you weak. Let’s continue our protest until our leader is Released to us. Even in the last minute before they shot our leader, he said; “resort to almighty Allah! If God destined to be Martyrs, by god’s willing we prepared. Is the almighty Allah that plans it to us.”

Vladimir Putin Orders Withdrawal Of Russian Troops From Syria

Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Monday he was instructing his armed forces to start pulling out of Syria, over five months after he ordered the launch of a military operation that shored up his ally, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.

Putin, at a meeting in the Kremlin with his defense and foreign ministers, said Russian military forces in Syria had largely fulfilled their objectives and ordered an intensification of Russia's diplomatic efforts to broker a peace deal in the country.

But the Russian leader signaled Moscow would keep a military presence: he did not give a deadline for the completion of the withdrawal and said Russian forces would stay on at the port of Tartous and at the Hmeymim airbase in Syria's Latakia province.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Putin had telephoned Assad to inform him of the Russian decision. The move was announced on the day United Nations-brokered talks between the warring sides in Syria resumed in Geneva.

"The effective work of our military created the conditions for the start of the peace process," Putin said.

"I believe that the task put before the defense ministry and Russian armed forces has, on the whole, been fulfilled. With the participation of the Russian military... the Syrian armed forces and patriotic Syrian forces have been able to achieve a fundamental turnaround in the fight against international terrorism and have taken the initiative in almost all respects," Putin said.

"I am therefore ordering the defense minister, from tomorrow, to start the withdrawal of the main part of our military contingent from the Syrian Arab Republic."

Nigeria Has Overcome Boko Haram - Buhari

President Muhammadu Buhari on Monday told investors that Nigeria had overcome the security challenges hitherto posed by terrorists and extremists in the North-East.

Buhari spoke in Abuja at the 6th African Petroleum Congress and Exhibition which had the theme ‘Positioning African Petroleum for Global Development and Value Addition.’

The President, who was represented by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, urged investors at the international gathering to consider investing in Nigeria, as he assured them that the country was safe for their investments.

He said, “I am pleased to announce that as a result of regional cooperation and the doggedness of our armed forces, Nigeria has overcome the security challenges hitherto posed by terrorists and extremists in the northeast.

“Nigeria is therefore ready and accessible for investments from all interested countries, individuals and partners. Let me assure you that your investments are secured in Nigeria and a high return on investment is assured.”

The President confirmed that the unbundling of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation was part of strategies aimed at repositioning Nigeria’s oil and gas sector and announced a daily crude oil production target of 2.8 million barrels per day for country.

He told guests at the event that as part of strategies to reposition the oil industry, his administration had commenced the process of implementing carefully conceived initiatives.

He said, “Some of these include strengthening the institutional framework on policy formulation through legislation on the Petroleum Industry Bill as a prerequisite for the development of the sector and attraction of foreign investment; unbundling the national oil company, that is the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation into lean, efficient and profitable components, that will operate as a business venture and deploy existing manpower to areas of competences without attendant job losses.”

Pastor Jets Away With Offering For Funeral In Ghana

The funeral of a prophetess Mary Aku, based in Nsawam in the Eastern region was brought to an abrupt end when her colleague prophet allegedly bolted with the funeral cash.

According to reports, the pastor [name withheld] after church members, friends and sympathizers had given their donations, quickly rushed for the offering bowl and sped off the funeral grounds at Peprah junction in Nsawam.

Kwaku Anoma, son of the deceased who broke the story to Adom News said, his uncle sustained serious injuries when he tried to stop the pastor.

He said the pastor reportedly told them to bring the money so that he would anoint it and offer some prayers but took to his hills when the offering bowl was handed over to him.

“My mother is the prophetess in the church so all the members, friends and sympathisers in the town gave a lot of money to support the funeral but the pastor quickly rushed for the money and sped off” he added.

Kwaku Anoma stated that the family members are astonished at the conduct of the supposed Man of God whom hitherto commanded a lot of respect in the town.

“We respected the pastor very much that was why we allowed him to officiate the burial service but he has lost our respect for running away with the money” he fumed.

Also, a brother of the deceased, Solomon Okain who sustained serious injuries during the brawl accused his brother-in-law for the disgraceful act.

He claimed his sister husband whose name was given only as teacher Tano connived with the pastor to rob and subject the family to public ridicule.

Mr. Okain said they became confused and did not know what to do initially but later went to the police and reported the matter. “As a pastor we expect him to do the right thing but he has shown that he is fake” he exclaimed.

Solomon Okain has vowed to do everything within his power to redeem the image of his sister who died at the age of 59 years.

Police Tells Journalist To Leave Trump's Rally Or Go To Jail

Another journalist was booted out of Trump's rally but this hasn't stopped the followership of the intending American President. Micheal Mayo is a columnist for Sun Sentinel and despite having ticket for the rally he was told to "leave or go to jail".

Read the full story below:

Like thousands of others, I attended the Donald Trump rally in West Boca on Sunday night. Like many others, I procured a general admission ticket after registering online. Like many others, I used my smartphone to take photos, videos and post on social media during the event, held at a county park.

Unlike nearly all the others, I was confronted with a stark choice by a Palm Beach County Sheriff's deputy at 8:40 p.m., while Trump was still speaking: Leaving immediately or "going to jail."

I left.

"Tell him we're trespassing him," a Trump campaign official told the deputy.

The campaign official told me his name was Justin. He would not give me his full name or tell me his position, even though I identified myself and gave him my business card.

"Just Justin," he told me a minute earlier, when he approached me and objected to me taking video of people leaving the rally early, while Trump was still on stage.

"We can do this the easy way or the hard way," Justin told me.

He told me to walk with him to talk to a law enforcement officer. Sgt. John Sluth explained I'd have to leave.

"But this is a public park," I said.

"This is not a public park," Sgt. Sluth said. "Tonight [this amphitheater] is rented by the Donald Trump campaign and they are the ones who say who can come or go … It's just like if you go to the BB&T Center and a representative from the Florida Panthers comes up and tells you that you have to leave, you have to leave."

As an Eagle Scout and Brooklyn-born U.S. citizen, I was angered, dismayed and saddened by what happened.

I violated no laws, rules or guidelines. I was not being disruptive.

I was exercising my First Amendment rights.

But as it turns out, I might have walked into a legal gray zone. Some legal experts said this isn't a cut-and-dried case of being denied freedom of assembly or speech because Donald Trump's campaign isn't the government. It can still exclude and eject people from events for almost any reason, except race.

"It's not a constitutional legal issue yet," said Bob Jarvis, a professor of constitutional law at Nova Southeastern University. "It's a do-you-understand-how-dangerous-this-seems issue. Where is this heading? They say they want everyone at their rallies, but they really don't want everyone at their rallies."

I reached out to the Trump campaign for comment by email, but didn't get a response.

The Palm Beach Sheriff's Office said four people were ejected from the event, and "many" were turned away at the gate.

I got inside but was treated differently, singled out and targeted for ejection, simply because I had a "Sun Sentinel" ID badge dangling from my neck. And, I assume, because I declined to go into a specially-barricaded "media pen" that credentialed media for the event were restricted to.

I did not try to get a media credential for the event. In my mind, there was no need to. I wasn't writing on deadline, I didn't have my computer, and I didn't require any special access. I hadn't agreed to any special ground rules or conditions, and I was simply doing the same thing that hundreds, if not thousands, of other attendees were doing.

I just wanted to be an Average Joe, free to mingle with my fellow South Floridians and experience this event like 6,000 others. As a columnist I often do things that way. It's the exact same way I covered a Marco Rubio campaign rally on Super Tuesday (March 1) at Tropical Park in Miami.

I had no hassles or issues there.

But with Trump, as many people are finding out, things are different.

If other attendees had been instructed not to shoot photos, videos or use social media in the "general admission" area, then I would have done the same. But in fact, attendees were encouraged to use social media at the event, with one warmup speaker telling the crowd to use a certain hashtag.

"The Trump campaign official trespassed you and requested you to leave," a Sheriff's Office spokeswoman wrote by email Monday morning. "Sgt. Sluth was only enforcing their request."

The Sheriff's Office wouldn't give a breakdown of how many uniformed deputies at the event were on duty or hired by the Trump campaign as private detail officers.

I arrived at about 5:30, spent some time talking to people in the designated protest zone at Burt Aaronson South County Regional Park. Then I passed through the metal detectors and went into the Sunset Cove Amphitheater. I had a general admission ticket but nobody asked to see it. When I went through the gates, I emptied my pockets of three pens, a reporter's notebook, my company ID badge, my wallet and my smartphone.

Then I went inside, and for the next few hours, spoke to other attendees and posted numerous photos and pictures on my Twitter and Facebook feeds. The vibe was pretty mellow, not as charged as the heated atmosphere in Chicago and other Trump events recently.

"This is Boca, not Miami – they said it would be family-friendly," said Linda Espinosa, a mother from West Boca, who came with her husband Edmar, a Nicaraguan immigrant, and their three children, ages 7, 9 and 16. "We're really here to see what it's all about, to expose kids to the [political] process. It's more like a teaching tool. We want them to see why they live in America."

I posted video of Trump's theatrical, dramatic whoosh-whoosh-whoosh helicopter landing at the amphitheater. I listened to Trump do his usual campaign spiel.

And then, about 8:40 p.m., with Trump still speaking, I noticed a typical South Florida phenomenon at big events. Many people were streaming for the exits early in order to beat the traffic.

I thought it would make for a cute tweet, but wanted to post video proof to go along with it, otherwise Trump would say that the lying media was making something up (Trump gets awfully touchy about the size of his crowds and the rapt attention he commands).

So I went to the exit and started filming. That's when the man in a suit jacket with special lapel pin — Justin — noticed me and my ID badge and started questioning me.

He said something about needing to go to the media pen and I declined. He said I couldn't film. I chuckled, saying of course I could, seeing as how hundreds if not thousands of other attendees were doing the same thing. He said I'd have to leave, and that we'd need to see law enforcement.

I said, sure. But I just had to do one more thing. I hit the "Tweet" button on my phone and posted the video.

When we met with Sgt. Sluth, I hurriedly turned on my smartphone video.

It turns out I shot the encounter topsy-turvy. The American flag patch on Sluth's uniform is captured upside down. As I know from the Boy Scouts, an upside-down flag is a sign of distress.

After my night at a Trump rally, I'm more distressed than ever.
