Security Men Kill, As They Open Fire On Shiite Protesters

Pandemonium in Abuja as security operatives fire gunshots during Shiite procession in Abuja.

There was commotion earlier today as members of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria (IMN), aka Shiite, were accosted by soldiers for holding a procession in Abuja.

Despite the ban on Shiites procession in the FCT,  the members took to the streets to embark on their annual Arbaeen Symbolic Trek, an annual religious practice to mark the 40th day of the murder of Inam Hussein, the grandson of Prophet Muhammed killed on 10th Muharram.

During the procession, the Shiite members held placards with portraits of the sons of their leader, Ibraheem El-Zakzaky, who were killed.

The procession is said to have given rise to a tight gridlock in the area and soldiers allegedly harassed the shite members in Gwarimpa, along the Kubwa Expressway.

A number of Shiite members were arrested and thrown into a van parked by the road.

There are unconfirmed reports that some people died in the commotion
