Army killed my 3 remaining brothers – Zakzaky’s son

The army had killed the three of the four remaining sons of Sheikh Ibraheem Zakzaky during last week onslaught on his residence, his only surviving son, Muhammad Ibraheem said yesterday.
He said his three brothers - Hammad, 17, Ali 15 and
Humaid, 13 - were all shot dead in front of their father during the raid in their residence in Zaria last week Sunday.

A statement signed by Muhammad said earlier in June 2014, the military abducted and killed his three brothers after a peaceful pro-Palestinian procession in Zaria.

Ahmad, 22, was a final year student of Chemical Engineering in Shenyang University, China; Hameed, 20, was studying Aeronautical Engineering in Xian University, China; while Mahmud, 18, was a student of Al-Mustapha University, Beirut, Lebanon.

He said of his eight siblings, only two, Nusaiba and Suhaila, are alive today, while the remaining six were slain by the army.

He said Suhaila survived with wounds on her face.
Zakzaky’s older sister Hajiya Fatima Yaqoub was among those killed in the raid, while the cleric and his wife survived gun shots wounds.

“Thank God, I have been able to finally speak to my sister (Suhaila) after seven days of terror, compliments of the Nigerian army.

“They have been released from the ordeal of being with an army that is supposed to protect them. But I call to all those who care that, we must continue with our peaceful protests, however and whenever we can. Just as we have been doing for over the last 30 years, and as long as we breathe I hope that we will continue to do so.”

The cleric’s only surviving son said “We will continue to protest in order to demand our right to bury our dead properly, to tend to our wounded and to see to the health of our leader, my father.”
He said he “will continue to demand unbiased, impartial justice, for my six brothers, for as long as I breathe.”
