Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Islamic Human Rights Commission (IHRC) has dismissed reports that Ibraheem El-Zakzaky, leader of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria, IMN, is dead.<\/p>\n

IHRC urged Nigerians to disregard rumours that El-Zakzaky, is dead.<\/p>\n

Some reports had it that the Shi\u2019ite leader died on Monday.<\/p>\n

However, the international Islamic human rights organization maintained that El-Zakzaky was alive.<\/p>\n

In a tweet, IHRC wrote: \u201cThe Anniversary of the 2015 #ZariaMassacre is today. We will be posting more during this week.<\/p>\n

\u201cPlease disregard rumours circulating this morning that Sheikh El-Zakzaky has passed away.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Shiites in Nigeria and sympathizers on Monday marked the 7th anniversary of the Zaria massacre.<\/p>\n

Recall that the Nigerian Army had attacked El-Zakzaky\u2019s residence in December 2015.<\/p>\n

The Nigerian Army troops killed some Shiites and destroyed El-Zakzay\u2019s place of worship.<\/p>\n

The incident followed an alleged Shiites attack on the then Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Tukur Buratai in Zaria.<\/p>\n

Sheikh Zakzaky and his wife Zeenat lost their six sons, three of whom were killed during the Zaria Massacre.<\/p>\n
