Police plotting to attack our procession, Shi’ites cry out Nigerians mondaythoughts
The Islamic Movement in Nigeria has raised the alarm that the police were planning to attack its Ashura mourning procession holding on Tuesday in Abuja and other cities in the North.
A member of the Academic Forum of the IMN, Abdullahi Musa, who said this in a statement in Abuja on Monday, invited religious leaders, Civil Society Organizations, Non-Governmental Organizations, the international community, journalists and the public to monitor the conduct of the procession “in order to expose those that are so desperate to cause violence for a pittance.”
The Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, blamed the Shi’ites who were protesting the incarceration of their leader, Ibrahim El-Zakzaky, for the incident and subsequently ordered the arrest of their leaders and members across the country. It read, “A reliable piece of information reaching us disclosed that the Nigeria Police are all set to assail the upcoming processional march across the country.
