A protest by the Shiites on Monday led to the death of at least 13 people including a police officer, a journalist and 11 Shiites.

The IMN members are demanding the release of their leader, Ibrahim El-Zakzaky who has been detained since December 2015.They were first detained for about a year without trial before their trial in Kaduna State began.

They were arrested after soldiers killed over 300 members of the IMN in a massacre on December 2015. The killing was condemned by local and international rights groups. The soldiers accused the Shiites of blocking a public road being used by the army chief Tukur Buratai.
