SaharaReporters has just confirmed that Mahumd Ibraheem Zakzaky, the son of Sheik Ibraheem Zakzaky, was among those gunned down by Nigerian soldiers in Zaria as a group held a rally in support of Palestinians on Israel’s invasion of Gaza.

Mahmud Zakzaky and a few other demonstrators were killed in the shooting this evening in the ancient town of Zaria.

In a statement issued by Ibrahim Musa, editor of the movement’s weekly magazine Almizan, and sent to the New York office of SaharaReporters, the Islamic group accused the military of killing several of its members with impunity. The statement also claimed that more than 40 other members sustained serious injuries.

“Reports reaching our news desk now indicated that some soldiers of the Nigerian army have opened fire on the tail end of the Quds procession held after Jumaat prayers in Zaria, Kaduna State. The procession, which took off from Sabon Gari Jumaat Mosque, reached Kofar Doka peacefully with no incident. However some soldiers attacked the procession [at the] PZ junction in Zaria.

“They shot Mahmud Ibraheem Zakzaky, but [his body] was taken away by the Muslim brothers. But several [other] Muslim brothers were shot by the security agents.

“As at the time of writing this report, there is no confirmation on the number of Muslim brothers shot or killed by the soldiers, but our says say five people were killed. The Quds procession was held today peacefully in more than 10 Nigerian cities. Why the attack on the Zaria procession? Shiites embarking in Ashura Sahara Reporters Media

“[The] latest report on the attack by soldiers on Quds peaceful procession is that ten Muslim brothers were gunned down by the soldiers, among them Mahmud Ibraheem Zakzaky, son of Sheikh Ibraheem Zakzaky, and a Muslim sister with her child on her back. There are over 40 Muslim brothers’ casualties with different degrees of gunshots by the soldiers. The story is still unfolding, with reinforcement of soldiers coming from Kaduna, according to our news sources.”

Hmmmm Hmmmmm

Activating another wen we've nt contained d other? Jst watchn

Zakzaky has a strong base in Zaria particular gyellesu.This is not a good news particularly for non-indigenes resident in that vicinity.Zakzaky's men are known to demonstrate peacefully over the years.It is like a normal thing for them.

Heard that one Igbo man has already been killed. In park road PZ

One report I heard was that the military men were blocked by the procession as they were on their way to the army barracks. And a soldier was shot in the leg.

Abeg, versions plenty. But the Igbo man own na confirmed one. An electronics dealer in park road.

Have these islamist fanatics ever protested against the activities of boko haram?
Why must Northern Nig. muslims always be too quick to carry Arab problems on their heads more than the Arabs?
They should'av gone to Gaza for the protests and face the wrath of the IDF.

Nonsense!

Them no know where Gaza dey? Have they protested for our Chibok girls? Muslim brothers ko Muslim brotherhood ni

hmmmmm i don't think this country really need wat u guys are saying think of ur brothers who dey sell puff puff, meat pie, roasted maize, restaurants etc dem go leave north without shoes ah swear to god make u touch us nd c. we r tired of thos nonsense.

Mother naija is seriously sick with diff. Kinds of diseases..d question is, wil she survive?

Muslims ( not all of them though) can be stupid sometimes... What concerns Nigeria with what is happening in Gaza? Boko boys are killing people everyday here in Nigeria and these people didn't protest it yet they didn't hesitate to do some stupid protest for Palestinians here in Nigeria, as if we don't enough trouble here already. The man that led that protest should be arrested immediately.

These guys could have prevented all this ehn! Stay at home; dey refuse to hear. Now see! I just hope this doesn't lead to another round of crisis.

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!

Wait! WTF is wrong with this People. How can your Goddam demostration stop isreal from attacking Gaza. This is Nigeria for fuvk sake. The best we can do is to pray for them. Pathetic

DankemzI: Barricade the south now! Any southerner killed in the north, two northern heads will roll in the south!

UnknownT: Them no know where Gaza dey? Have they protested for our Chibok girls? Muslim brothers ko Muslim brotherhood ni

Army barrack na Gaze neh? Why dem dey protest dey go army barrack?

Boko haram kill everyday they didn't deem it fit to protest...

200 girls were kidnapped they didn't deem it fit to protest...

Isreali's and Hamas fighting somewhere in the middle east they decide to start protesting...I wonder the wisdom in this...

RIP to those who died for a course that doesn't affect them in any way...

Tomorrow my fellow Nigerian Muslims will tell us that boko haram is not Islamic.
bokoharam have been operating in ur region in the north for year now. killing ur fellow northerners in the proccess ,u will never see them protest.
And u tell me dey are not happy with the bokoharam guys deep in their heart.
lets not fool ourselves, the northerners are just watching to see if bokoharam can with their enemy and make the life of goodluck unbearable b4 dey show open support. be wise Nigerians this thing is way beyond just politics or religion. it both and more.
wake up.

This blood bath in the North is becoming unreal .

There are different versions of the story, which do we believe? Heard the soilders waited patiently for 'bout 30mins so the protesters could do their thing, before someone in the crowd fired a shot @ d soilders, and that was the cause of soilders opening fire @ them. Don't know which is true actually.

This is one thing that makes the whole thing more traumatic and agonizing , we never seem to get the real facts 'bout things like this..

The same pple.
The same problem of the Nation.

Why choose to swallow paracetamol for the headache of a Nation miles away?

So the chibok girls and thousands who die day-in-day-out over there are not their ''muslims brothers'' right?
