Shi’ites and Police engage in another round of shooting

Less than 24 hours after the clash that claimed the lives of over 10 persons in Abuja, members of the Islamic Movement of Nigeria (IMN) also known as Shiites clashed 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 were being fired at the Banex area in Wuse 2 Abuja. All shops and other business complexes within the area were been locked up by their owners for fear of being hit by stray bullet.
