He said the abduction was a plan to pave way for U.S. and Israeli military presence in Nigeria to balkanize the country and steal its resources.
Sheikh Zakzaky was speaking at the annual Martyrs’ Day commemoration held at the Baqiyyatullah Hussainiyyah, Zaria on Saturday.
“Let no one be fooled, there is nothing like Boko Haram! It is a covert operation to balkanize Nigeria and steals its resources in the name of search of Boko Haram insurgents. If you can fool others, we cannot be fooled,” he said.
The cleric said those protesting for the release of the abducted girls should direct their protest at President Goodluck Jonathan, adding that “Shekau is presently being kept safe in a secret military camp.”
Sheikh Zakzaky said western powers intention is to disperse people from all places with rich resources in the name of search of insurgents.
“They realized there are gold deposits in Zamfara and Zaria – Birnin Gwari axis; gold and platinum in Sokoto and Borno. They did it in Iraq, as they went in search of weapons of mass destruction (WMDs), which they never found but plunged the country into chaos. The same thing was experimented in Afghanistan before our eyes,” he said.
He said western powers are experimenting the second phase of scramble for Africa with great expectations from Nigeria.
According to him, the U.S. and Israel see the Islamic Movement in Nigeria as the greatest threat to achieving its sinister objective, hence the constant clampdown attempt and arrest of its members.
On the arrest of two members of the Movement Haruna Abbas and Ibrahim Hussain, over a year ago, Sheikh Zakzaky said they must be released as they committed no offence and were unjustifiably detained without trial for over a year now.
