his is the positions of the Editorial and Policy Board of the E.N.M.Paedia Express Multimedia Group of Lagos,Nigeria as regards the protracted protests by members of the Islamic Movements of Nigeria against the contentious imprisonment of their reverred leader :Sheikh Ibrahim El Zakzaky1]That it was wrong for the state to continually refuse to release the foremost cleric ,Sheikh Ibrahim El Zakzaky despite the positions of the judiciary.
2]That it was wrong for the government to have rail road a court into delivering a judgment to ascribe the Shiites as a terror group despite lawfully protesting as enshrined in virtually all know human rights statutes
3]That it was wrong for security forces to use live bullets on unarmed civilians while at the same time trying to use all manners of dubious reasoning to justify an act of illegality
4]That all over the world the standard procedure for combating a crisis situation during a public protest is the usage of pepper spray,hot or warm water depending on the weather ,blanks and not bullets and if there are indications things could get very ugly police -like clubs and shields will be in use .
5]Multiple sources have showed that the Nigerian shiite protesters never carried arms to the epi-centre of the protests and so conventional wisdom will only show that only those carrying the arms were responsible for the loss of lives .
if anything at all the Shiites only did what was lawful under the laws of the land and in global human rights statutes and that was to defend their very existence when they got provoked by the security forces that killed their members and infiltrated their peaceful protests .
On behalf of rightful thinking humans i :Abdulmumini ireyi Adeku apologise to the highly respected Shiite leader :Sheikh Ibrahim El Zakzaky on the killing of his three children ,the loss of his eyes and every acts of intolerance meted out to him so far by his captors.
We pray that this difficult period will come and go,God
