Police Killed Three Shiites During Ashura Procession In Kaduna – IMN Alleges

The Islamic Movement in Nigeria (IMN) popularly known as Shiites on Tuesday alleged that the police killed three of its members during their annual Ashura procession in Kaduna.

The IMN had flouted Monday’s warning by the Kaduna state police command against embarking on the procession, by coming out in their large numbers to mark the day around Bakin Ruwa area in the Western by-pass of the state capital.

Ibrahim Musa, the spokesman of the IMN claimed  that three of their members were killed when policemen opened fire on the Shiite members while they were on a peaceful procession along the Nnamdi Azikiwe Western by-pass on Tuesday morning

However, the police have denied the allegation through its spokesman, DSP Yakubu Sabo, who said  there was no report of attack on the IMN members or any killing of its members stating that the claim that three people were killed is just to draw public sympathy .
