In response, the IMN accused El-Rufai of “desperately struggling to find an excuse to justify the massacre of its members without recourse to due process of the law.
“All these simply show that the attack was pre-planned and premeditated. The governor is more like an extremist anti-Shi’ite governor and not a state governor,” the IMN said.
The Nigerian army said it moved against the IMN to repel an attack on the Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Tukur Buratai. It also reported the incident to the National Human Rights Commission, which has set up a panel to investigate the incident.
The Human Rights Watch said yesterday that hundreds of Shi’ite Muslims were killed by soldiers and buried in mass graves in the “unjustified” attack.
