#3 The genesis of the Ikhwan/Islamist movement in Nigeria is found in the creation of the Jamaat Nasril al-Islam (Association for the Victory of Islam) in 1962. I was a Pan-Nigerian Islamist movement founded by Abubakar Gumi. Later renamed the Yan Izala (short form for the Eradication of Evil Innovation and the Establishment of the Sunnah) in 1978, Gumi was a student of the Ikhwan movement and throughout Nigeria made use of the mass media to transform society using Salafist arguments From the Yan Izala there emerged in the nineteen nineties in Northern Nigeria the Islamic Movement, the precursor of Boko Haram. Led by Shaykh Ibrahim Zak Zaky it was an Islamist organization that openly proclaimed its relationship with the international Muslim Brotherhood. The Islamic Movement, was Sunni, but received some education and training in Iran. It was in constant conflict with the government. Zaky was jailed for two years in 1997, after which the very radical offshoot of the Ikhwan, the Ja'amutu Tajidmul Islami (Movement of Islamic Revival), emerged in the late nineteen nineties. The Boko Haram is only the latest (and the bloodiest) of the Islamist movements founded in the north.
