There has been another violent clash between members of the Islamic Movement of Nigeria (IMN) also known as Shiites and Police officers. Barely 24 hours after the bloody clash that claimed the lives of over 10 persons in Abuja including a Channels TV reporter, the group attempted to stage another protest which quickly turned violent. The members of the Police Force and the Nigerian Army were at the scene.
The Shi’ites gathered at the Wuse 2 area and began a procession. An attempt to stop them led to another round of shooting. According to eyewitnesses, gunshots were fired at the Banex area in Wuse 2 Abuja. All shops and other business complexes within the area have been locked up by their owners for fear of being hit by a stray bullet.
