Abuja (Sundiata Post) – Islamic Movement of Nigeria (IMN) popularly known as Shi’ites protested on Wednesday in commemoration of the 68th birthday of its spiritual leader, Sheikh Ibraheem El-Zakzaky.
Recall that Sheikh Ibraheem El-Zakzaky has been in detention since 2015.
During the protest, Shi’ites members forced their way into the assembly complex and chased away armed policemen on duty.
Members of the movement were initially peaceful in their conduct although they were chanting anti-government songs from outside the gate.
But situation turned awry when some of them suddenly descended on the gate, shaking it vigorously until they succeeded in forcing it open, almost causing a stampede because of the crowd.
