Afghan Voice Agency (AVA): Thousands of Nigerian Shiites held a symbolic ceremony in the city of Zaria this morning (Saturday, July 4) to mourn the holy body of the martyred leader of the Islamic Revolution of Iran.
This grand ceremony was held while the central government of Nigeria has always imposed obstacles and hostile conditions against the Shiites of this country. However, since the beginning of the American-Zionist invasion and the martyrdom of the Leader of the Revolution, Nigerian Shiites have held several mourning ceremonies, marches, and gatherings of support and solidarity.
The extensive activities of Nigerian Shiites have been concentrated mainly in the north of the country, including the cities of Kano, Zaria and around the capital, Abuja. This ceremony shows the depth of devotion and solidarity of Nigerian Shiites with the martyred leader of the Islamic Revolution and his ideals.
According to reports from news sources and social networks, the symbolic funeral ceremony was held in the city of Zaria with a large attendance of different segments of the population, including women and children. By beating their chests and chanting slogans in support of the martyred leader, the participants once again emphasized their loyalty to the ideals of the Islamic Revolution.
Images and videos published from this ceremony show the enthusiastic presence and exemplary order of the mourners in Zaria. Users from all over the world have described this movement as “confirmation of the martyred leader’s transnational popularity.”
It is worth mentioning that the Islamic Movement of Nigeria, led by Sheikh Ibrahim Zakzaky, is one of the largest Shiite movements in West Africa, and continues its activities despite intense pressure from the central government.
According to political and religious experts, the symbolic funeral of the martyred leader of the Islamic Revolution by thousands of Nigerian Shiites sends a clear message of the transnational solidarity of the Islamic Ummah and the deep devotion of the Shiites of the world to the leadership of the Islamic Revolution.
Observers say that this ceremony is being held in a situation where the Nigerian government has always had oppressive dealings with the Shiites of this country; therefore, this move demonstrates the strength of faith and will of the Nigerian Shiites in the face of political and security pressures. Some experts believe that this solidarity can help strengthen the position of the Shiites in the political equations of Nigeria and the region.
