The Inspector General of Police, IGP, Mohammed Adamu, has ordered a clampdown on Shiite leaders in an unprecedented attempt to curtail the group.

To this end, signals have already been sent from the Force Headquarters to all state and Zonal Commands. The IG has asked for strict compliance with the directives.

The Signal, according to findings, was sent on August 30, 2019.

The IG was piqued that an Assistant Commissioner was killed during the containment of the demonstrations by the group that left many dead, and many more arrested. Shiite said through their spokesperson that the death was not caused by their members.

The signal reads in part:

“As you are aware that this necessitated the setting up of a special investigation team of inquiry. The team had gone far in its investigations

“You will also recall that given the odious activities of the movement, the Federal Government obtained an order proscribing the group

NIGPOL FORCID directs you ensure that identified leaders of the group and their structures are dismantled and their activities contained.

“You are to inform me of your action for discreet investigation and possible prosecution of violators of the proscription order. Treat as very important.”

The Shiite leader, Ibrahim El Zakzaky, has been in detention for years. Recently, in obedience to a court order, he was released to go for treatment in India, but that was botched, with both government and El Zakzaky trading blames on why it was not succesful.
