12 Killed By Police On Ashura Procession Across The Nation, Shiites Claim

The Islamic Movement in Nigeria claims that at least a dozen persons have been killed by police officers across the nation, during the Ashura mourning procession today.

This Mr Musa said happened when thousands of Muslims trooped out in the early hours of Tuesday commemorating the tragic events of Ashura. “In Malumfashi, Katsina state also another person was killed. In Katsina town however, several people sustained bullet wounds when the police opened fire on the mourners, not only during the mourning procession, but afterwards as the well armed policemen attempted to forcibly make their way into the Islamic centre of the Movement.

This year’s Ashura procession was held in all the state capitals of the North and Abuja. It ended peacefully in Abuja, Jos, Kebbi, Minna, Lafia, Yola, Gusau, Zaria, Kano, Jalingo, Damaturu, Hadejia and Potiskum.
