"TRY BUHARI, BURATAI FOR GENOCIDE", Says Timi Frank....Condemns Shi'ite Killings
Former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Comrade Timi Frank on Monday, lent his voice to the call condemning the action of the Buhari administration in the soldiers/IMN clash.
He called on all the international Human Rights Organisations to note the record of brutal killings, especially that of Shi'ite people under the current administration, saying "President Muhammadu Buhari and his Chief of Army Staff, Tukur Buratai, must face trial after their stay in office".
"Contrary to the constitutional provision that security of lives and welfare shall be the responsibility of government, the current All Progressives Congress APC administration is encouraging its agents to cause the killing of the citizens", Frank stated.
Recall that on Sunday morning, the protesting Shiites and the Nigerian Army had clashed where some protesting Shiites members were, reportedly, brutally killed.
But while condemning soldiers deadly use of force on supporters of Islamic Movement in Nigeria (IMN) during a religious procession in Zuba, near Abuja, Comrade Frank, in a statement on Monday and sent to Naij News Alert, said; "under President Buhari, the country has seen a sharp rise in the use of brute force by security agents to quail armless demonstrators".
According to him, "a country where the value of human lives continues to depreciate on a daily basis, can only be referred to as a failed state".
The former APC Spokesman said the continuing detention of Shia's leader, Ibrahim El-Zakzaky despite several Court orders, is uncivilised by any leaders in the world.
"President Buhari-led administration have been releasing the dreaded Boko Haram jihadists under the guise of 'repentant terrorists' yet he does not see anything wrong in attacking the Shia members who are peacefully clamouring for the release of their leader who the Court of law had set free".
"The disobedience of this administration to the decisions of a Court of law portends danger for the country's peace and orderliness".
"If ordinary citizens are being killed by the security agents under an elected democratic government in this manner, such a leader must be ready to be prosecuted for genocide after his short stay in power", Frank stated.
Continuing, the outspoken former APC chieftain wondered "how can an army kill her unarmed citizens with live bullets? I will never support the idea that live bullets are used on protesters".
"What manner of provocation will make them shoot at unarmed citizens? Soldiers shooting and killing unarmed protesters is a crime against humanity", he said.
Calling on the international community to take note of the current development, Frank also called on Amnesty International (AI) and other rights protection international organizations not to close their eyes against the act of "killing innocent citizens for no just cause".
