Many people were feared dead during Monday’s protest by members of Islamic Movement of Nigeria, also known as Shiite group, in Abuja. Eyewitnesses said Police shot and killed some members of the Islamist group when they marched on Eagle Square and Federal Secretariat demanding for the release of their spiritual leader, Sheikh Ibrahim Elzakzaky, who has been in detention since 2016.
A journalist with a TV station was also hit by a stray bullet. A number of Shiite members were arrested by the Police during the mêlée.
