Police Kill Our Members in Kaduna- Shiites
Spokesperson
Heavily armed policemen today opened fire in Zaria and Kaduna on
religious mourners soon after completing this year’s Ashura
processions (A religious rite held by Shiites globally on the 10th
of Muharram Islamic calendar). As a consequence of these unprovoked
attacks, two people in Kaduna lost their lives while many others
were injured in both Kaduna and Zaria.
Undoubtedly, these Policemen are taking direct orders of Kaduna
state Governor, who also was responsible for similar attack in
Kaduna only a week earlier, that also resulted in the death of two
people and many houses and vehicles torched by the rampaging
Policemen.
Besides, similar Ashura processions were held today in major
towns and cities across Nigeria including some southern states
without any incident. Only in Zaria and Kaduna were brutality and
violence meted on the peaceful mourners. A number of arrests was
also done by these murderous troops of Kaduna state governor,
Elrufai.
The Islamic Movement hereby calls on all well-meaning Nigerians
and the International community to call Elrufai to order to force
him to desist from further spill of innocent Shiites blood.
Attached are pictures of victims of police brutality against
Shiites today
