Shiites Protest, Demand Unconditional Release Of Their Leader
Members of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria,(IMN) also known as ‘Shiites’ on Monday in Kaduna, took to the streets to protest the continued detention of their leader, Sheikh Ibraheem El-Zakzaky and his wife Zeenat. Both have been in detention for about five years, following the clash between the Nigerian Army and the Shiites in Zaria, Kaduna State in December 2015, which led to the killing of several members of the IMN. They also said the protest was in remembrance of the clash,which they described as a massacre. The leader of the protesters, Sheikh Aliyu Tirmizi, demanded the unconditional release of the IMN leader for proper medical attention.
