In the aftermath of Saturday’s clash between the
Nigerian army and the Shiite Muslim sect, accusations are still being made, with both parties blame the other for the incident.

Chief of Army Staff, Tukur Buratai, on Monday told
newsmen that he escaped being harmed by the “will
of God,” Vanguard reports.

Buratai reportedly stated,“You want to know how I
escaped? It was by the will of God that I was able to
escape from the place…I think NTA was there and
they aired the clip, it was very clear. They (Shiite)
were violent and the clip is there.”

On the other hand, Shiite sect spokesman, Ibrahim
Musa revealed:

“We have reports that bodies of our members killed
outside the house of our leader, Sheikh Ibrahim
Zakzaky are being evacuated in trucks by soldiers andour leader was arrested this morning.

(yesterday) in his demolished home by soldiers where he had been holed up in a room that was spared from the fire that gutted the house from grenades.”

Musa also alleged that the army was not only selectively killing its members yesterday, but it had
instigated the public to join in the killings.
