The leader of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria, popularly known as Shi’ite, Ibraheem El-Zakzaky, has accused the United States of creating Boko Haram and the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria.

El-Zakzaky also accused the US of funding the Islamic State of West Africa Province (ISWAP) and ISIS.

The Shi’ite leader made these allegations in a trending video, where he also accused politicians in government of being behind insecurity in Nigeria.

He wondered how cattle rearers suddenly acquired weapons and armoured vehicles in the bushes.

El-Zakzaky said, “the Insecurity problem in Nigeria was created by politicians in power and if they want to stop it today, they would, because they are the ones who engineered it.

“How come those people who are known to be cattle rearers have guns in the bush? How come those people they call bandits have armoured vehicles in the bushes and they call them terrorists?

“Where did these tankers come from? From the earth or they moved through? Everybody knows that authorities are behind this insecurity, if they want to stop it today, they can stop it.

”By inviting the US, which we know very clearly that they are behind all these insecurity, US created Boko Haram, US is funding Boko Haram, US created ISWAP, they created ISIS, and they confessed it openly.

“They said that they would use terrorism to conquer Africa, now you expect them to bring the remedy to what they caused. What do you expect? Mass killings of people.

“They will come to steal our resources, you will see them where there is gold, oil, gas, and other security resources. 

“That is why you will see them protecting Christians in Zamfara and Katsina.”
