The Islamic Movement of Nigeria (IMN), popularly known as Shi’ites, have applied for an order for the committal of the Inspector-General of Police, (IGP), Usman Baba, to a correctional center for his alleged refusal, despite the court order, to release corpses of ‘Free Zakzaky’ protesters killed by men of the Nigeria Police in July 2019.
Appealing to public support she said “recall that on Monday, 22nd July 2019, police officers attacked a peaceful Free-Zakzaky protest and opened fire on protesters which led to the killing of 12 protesters, 1 unknown person, a Deputy Commissioner of Police and a journalist with Channels TV.
“After the incident, the police evacuated the corpses of the slain, deposited 4 at National Hospital Abuja, and 2 at Asokoro District Hospital while some of the protesters were able to take away 6 bodies of those killed. She said many others were arrested, taken to SARS , facilities with neither medication not feeding while languishing in custody leading to the deaths of 3 more protesters and “again, the corpses were moved to Asokoro District Hospital” bringing the number of corpses there to five.
Aliyu pointed out that despite several attempts to retrieve the four bodies deposited there and the five at Asokoro for proper burial, the National Hospital in connivance with the police has so far refused to release the bodies.
