Fresh revelations have emerged on how the Islamic Movement in
Nigeria popularly known as Shi’ite started the Boko Haram insurgency in
the country as far back as 1997.
This revelation, according to The Nation, was made by the Muhammad Idris, the president of the Human Rights on Non-Violent Initiative, a civil society organisation.
Some members of the Shi’ites group during a recent procession. New revelation says they birthed Boko Haram.
The group is throwing its weight behind the Nigerian Army which has come under severe attacks in recent times over alleged violation of human rights in the role played to contain the recent clash with Shi’ite members in Zaria.
But during a visit to the General Officer Commanding 1 Mechanized Division, Nigerian Army, Major General Adeniyi Oyebade, the group commended the Nigerian Army for its role in the recent clash between the Army and Shi’ite, adding that the military is the only remaining tool to defend democracy, peace and unity of the country.
He said: “Boko Haram started by the Shi’ite group in 1997. The Shi’ite group is the source of Boko Haram if you go back in history, it is documented, some of them fled to Maidiguri, hid somewhere and regrouped where they later became a terror, fighting government and killing both civilians and military, destroying property and raping innocent women.
