Two killed as Shiites, police clash in Kaduna
Two passersby on Thursday in Kaduna State lost their lives when security operatives dispersed members of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria (IMN), otherwise known as Shiites, during a protest condemning the ongoing war in Palestine.
The protesters, DAILY POST gathered, were marching towards the office of the National Human Rights Commission to submit a letter in support of the people of Gaza in Palestine, but met stiff resistance from security agents, resulting in the death of a commercial motorcycle operator (okada man) and another person.
A source revealed that shortly after the Shiites began the procession, police operatives fired tear gas and shot sporadically to disperse the protesters. He further explained that a stray bullet killed the Okada man, but his passenger was lucky and survived.
He added that about 200 meters along the Sokoto road near the Chicken Market, Kaduna, a stray bullet also hit another passer-by who was not even a Shiite member and died
