Pro-Palestinian Protest Turns Bloody In Zaria, As Troops Kill 5 Shiite Muslims

Leader of Nigeria, Shiites, Ibrahim Zakzakky

Nigerian troops have reportedly killed at least 5 persons from a Muslim Shiite group in Zaria, Kaduna State of Shiites under the leadership of Sheik Ibraheem Zakzaky.

Sources told SaharaReporters that soldiers opened fire on members of the Islamic Movement of Nigeria during an annual procession called ‘Quds Day’ in solidarity with Palestinians under Isreali attacks in Gaza. The clash happened at PZ area on Sabon Gari Road. A convoy of soldiers from the Zaria Army deport reportedly ran out patience after waiting for 35 minutes for the procession to end. As they meant to leave, someone in the crowd reportedly opened fire as the protesters blocked the road.

Today's event, a source in Zaria told Saharareporters, holds the last Friday of every Ramadan fasting season. However, this year's procession was dedicated to the Palestinian people in Gaza.

Although details are still sketchy, a security source said a full investigation is underway to determine the cause of the clash. Mr. Zakzakky is an implacable foe of Islamist sect Boko Haram, a reason why today's clash between the sect and Nigerian troops remains a mystery.

As at the time of publishing this report, it was said that tension is still high in the town. And both military and Shiites are yet to react official regarding cause of the killings.

The development is coming barely two days after General Muhammadu Buhari (rtf) and and an Islamic cleric, Sheik Dahiru Bauchi escaped bombing attacks by suspected terrorists.

Talkin misplaced priorities..! North is burnin and all these peasants could think of is fightin for some dudes who care lower than less'bout 'em..! Great...!
Here's some o' dem comments me found on sahara's reporters FB wall/page:

the pained guy:

Idris Muhammad
When would my muslim brothers in the North stop all this foolish protest on behalf of muslims in the Middle East on the basis of religious affinity? How many of them have protested on our behalf ever since we are suffering from boko haram? Nonsense!

The ardent believer:

Yusuf Muhammad
The Holy Prophet (SAW) Said "WHO SO EVER WAKES- UP AND DOES NOT CONCERN WITH WHAT HAPPENS TO HIS MUSLIMS BROTHERS, IS NOT AMONG THE MUSLIMS!"

reasonable fella:

Golmetne Gofwen
But are the muslims in Gaza and the whole of middle East seeing A nigerian Muslim as their brother? because iam yet to see any protest in the middle east regarding BH problem we have in Nigeria

religion can be good, if understood. You cant be a true beliver if you merely obey 'rules' wih deep down no moral/spiritual foundation with/by which you measure deeds.

Stop being slave to ur arab masters/pastors/imam.. God is not 'retricted', He is everywhere and he lives in you!. He's love; gave us love through Jesus Christ. Accept him or die!
