The Kaduna State government yesterday released the report of the Judicial Commission of Inquiry which investigated the December clash between the Nigerian Army and members of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria (IMN).
NigerianBulletin brings seven things you need to know about the Judicial commission of inquiry:
- State government for not acting promptly on previous acts of the IMN
- Federal government for allowing the army to use excessive force and not complying with the rules of engagement during the clash.
- The commission blamed the leader of the IMN, Sheik Ibrahim El-Zakzaky, who it said had absolute control over his members, for not calling his members to order when required to do so.
Recommendations:
- all incidents of violence and aggression by the members of the IMN against individuals, groups or communities, which had resulted in grievous bodily harm, destruction of properties and deaths, should be fully investigated and the culprits brought to book. Where appropriate, compensations should be paid.
- The state government should investigate and repossess all illegally acquired public lands from IMN and utilize same for public interest.
IMN should be made to conform to all constitutional requirements and the provisions of other by-laws in obtaining land, building or acquiring structures.
- All the dangerous weapons recovered from the IMN members should be turned over to the Police for further necessary action
- The government should deal with the IMN in accordance with the laws and regulations of the land and be made to conduct its activities and affairs within the ambit of the law at all time
