Following Saturday’s violent clash between the Nigerian Army
and members of the Muslim sect, Shiite, in Zaria, Kaduna State, which
reportedly led to the death of scores of the sect’s members, the Shiite group
on Sunday, took to the streets of Bauchi, Potiskum in Yobe State and Birnin
Gwari in Kaduna State to protest the killings of their members.
Recall that following the violent clash, which paralyzed
commercial and vehicular activities in the ancient city of Zaria, the Nigerian
Army and the Muslim sect have continued to trade blames as to who instigated
the clash.
While the Nigerian Army alleged that members of the sect
attempted to assassinate the Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Lt-Gen. Tukur Buratai,
when he visited Zaira on Saturday, the sect has denied it, describing the
allegation as “blatant lies.”
