This was disclosed by the President Media Forum of the Islamic Movement, Ibraheem Musa, in a press statement he issued to newsmen Wednesday.

The statement said that after five years of excruciating illegal detention, the false charges filed against them has finally ended for good.

“This judgement has not only vindicated them and all members of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria, but it is certainly a victory for perseverance in the face of extreme persecution by the Nigerian government. It is a victory for truth and justice against tyranny and impunity,” the statement said.

“We, therefore, give praises to the Almighty for yet another successful outing, which further proves to the world that the Islamic Movement and its leader, are only victims of impunity and mischievous plots.

“We wish to use this opportunity to also say a big thank you to all people of conscience, human rights activists and organizations, journalists and all those that joined in our dogged campaign for justice for the victims of the Zaria genocide in the past five years. Thank you and God bless.
