As Police, DSS take over Wuse 2 to forestall Shi’ites protest

A fresh protest by Shiite members of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria (IMN) turned violent on Tuesday after they were dispersed by security operatives.

The latest incident happened around Banex, Wuse 2 area of the Nigerian capital.

The Security operatives have cordoned off the usual business area of Banex in Wuse 11 as a result of the planned continuation of the protest by the Shiite members whose leader has been in detention.

For fear of lives and properties security operatives, including police operatives and Department of State Security-DSS refused pedestrian and vehicular movement in and out of the ever-busy Banex as a result of the death of a Deputy Commissioner of police and 11 members of the Shiite group.

The IMN members are demanding the release of their leader, Ibrahim El-Zakzaky who has been detained since December 2015.

Mr El-Zakzaky and his wife are accused of involvement in the killing of a soldier.

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.
