Cleric’s son feared killed as police, Shi’ites clash in Zaria. About
5 people, including the son of popular Zaria based Sheikh, Ibraheem El
Zakzaky, were killed yesterday after a clash between Nigerian soldiers
and Shiite Muslims in Zaria, Kaduna State.
The Shi’a Muslim group had gathered in the PZ area of the town for
their annual Ramadan ritual called Muzahara, where thousands of Muslim
faithful march around the city dressed in black to protest a cause. They
dedicated their march today to the conflict between Israel and
Palestine.A source said the group were confronted by soldiers as they gathered after Friday prayers, chanting Islamic songs, carrying placards and condemning Israel’s invasion of Gaza. The soldiers’ mission was to disperse the crowd but one thing led to another and violence erupted. Shots were fired and at least 6 people were killed, including the son of the leader of the Islamic group (the son pictured above). SHARE THIS NEWS
