The only reason we saw in the leaked memo is that we are a proscribed movement but we are saying we are a religious community and we cannot be banned.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEl-Rufai is pushing us to the wall. We are law abiding citizens but there is a limit to everything. We cannot fold our arms. We must talk. We are bonafide citizens of Nigeria even El-Rufai is not a better citizen than us. He is bastardizing everything but we will continue to be law abiding citizens.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, we are calling on the government and the people of good conscience to prevail on the government of El-Rufai to stop this thing they have started because they said 48 structures, now six of our structures are down. We don\u2019t know the 42 others across the state.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf care is not taken, that means there will be more bloodshed because some people might react to what the government is doing. Even yesterday (Saturday) people would have reacted if they knew they were coming, because I can sense if people in Rigasa knew yesterday that this thing was going to happen today (Sunday). We wouldn\u2019t have been having this press conference today because Kaduna would have been in turmoil.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo be frank with you, we have had enough. Enough is enough. Since 2015 to date, there is no month they will not kill at least some of our members either in Kaduna or Abuja and in some other parts of the country.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Members of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria, otherwise known as \u2018Shi\u2019ites\u2019, have reacted to the demolition of six structures out of 48 belonging to the sect on Sunday by the Kaduna State Urban Planning and Development Authority.
