What was a peaceful Protest by members of Islamic Movement in Nigeria (IMN) ended with casualties as the police in Kaduna reportedly opened fire on the protesters, killing two and injuring scores of others.
Oceanicnews was reliably informed that the religious movement were protesting for the unconditional release of their detained leader, Sheikh Ibrahim Zakzaky on Sunday in Kaduna. The protest which took place around Ahmadu Bello Way was to later witness a police invasion as the security forces made to disperse the protesting crowd thus shooting sporadically into the air.
Recall that the Sheikh Ibrahim Zakzaky-led IMN clashed with the security forces in 2015, resulting to the killing of scores of her members and the subsequent arrest of the leader with his wife. They have both been detained since the clash by the government of Kaduna state.
A member of the Islamic who spoke with the The Nation on Sunday evening said:
“As we speak, we are working on our press release. There was a clash and lost two of our members were killed by Police. Several other members were also injured,” he said.
