Barely 24
hours after the bloody clash that claimed the lives of over 10 persons in
Abuja, members of the Islamic Movement of Nigeria (IMN) also known as Shiites
are again clashing with men of the Nigerian Police and Army following an attempt
to stage another protest.
The Shi’ites
gathered at the Wuse 2 area and began a procession. An attempt to stop them led
to another round of shooting.
Gunshots are
currently being 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 stray bullet.
