Kano Residents Attack Protesting Shiites (Pics) by Nobody: 8:18pm On Oct 12, 2016
The group was holding a rally, and passing through some strategic areas in the Kano metropolis, when it was ferociously attacked by the youths, some of whom brandished knives, swords, machetes and cutlasses. The mob forced the recalcitrant Shiites faithful to scamper for safety.

The latest incident came on the heels of a ban by the Police on all forms of religious processions which the Shiites flouted with impunity. The angry youths were challenging the legitimacy of the procession at a time that the search for peace was being intensified.

According to an eyewitness account, anyone wearing black attires was immediately in danger, as black attires are the symbol of the Shiites, which has consistently preached the gospel of disobedience to the constituted authorities.

Many of the fleeing Shiites were seen pulling off their black attires so as to escape the notice of the angry mob, which kept vigil at strategic locations and thoroughfares throughout the ancient city, forcing them to take refuge in local houses within the vicinity of the procession.

Confirming the incident, the Kano State Police Command Public Relations Officer, DSP Magaji Musa Majiya said the Police had made effort to rescue some of the Shiites, especially women, children and the aged, who had become vulnerable to danger.

These religious zealots.

The Authority told you to stop holding rallies,but you guys said you are above the law.

And now the Religious Strife tired Kano people,have taken the laws into their hands,and all of a sudden you guys get the message.

While not trying to disrespect Islam,I must confess the religion is very confusing to me.

Islam has only two types or sects,and yet they can't see eye to eye. Christianity have like a Million type,and yet they seem to get along well.

So,what exactly am I missing here?who stands to gain when Muslims kill each other?

--Modified---

I do not put my mouth in religious matters. I have washed my hands off this one too.

This fight,I think goes way back into centuries. To my Muslim friends,I am not taking sides.

I Comot hands.

Nonsense @ highest level. It's time we forget about Shia/Sunni hypocrisy before it's lead us to another insurgency bigger than Boko Haram.

Peaceful protest is their legitimate right.
Freedom of religion/association is allowed in our Constitution.

We only have Tijaniyyah, Quadriyah, Assabadiyah, Ikhlasiyah, Shaziliyah here in Nigeria and the Arab don't support Sufism so don't know why we should be killing ourselves over their political parties.

Battle of supremacy between the Sunni's and the Shia is what's coursing crisis in the Middle-east.

Prophet Muhammad PBUH is neither Sunni nor Shia. Al-Muslim Ikhwatun.

For all Christians and Southerners who are in support of their activities, I urge you to provide land in the East or West for them to build their shrine. So that they will be able to perform their religious activities without fear of being attacked as Nigeria guarantees freedom of worship nation wide. They will also have freedom to protest and block roads.

Southerners and Christian are very pisful. Oya Shiites you hearam carry your black cloth go Enugu or Ekiti.

Your hatred for shiites won't let you reason properly.
Those protesting shiites are Nigerians and are kano indigenes,
they have the right to protest without you threatening them
with death or "deporting" them.
Though , I don't expect you religious bigot to understand.

When it suits iPod Baboons, they go: "Islam is a curse to this world. They all need to be extinguished from the face of the earth".

And when it suits them, they go: "Shiites have rights and should be allowed freedom to cause mayhem as citizens of Nigeria. We aren't in a military era!!"

As a Muslim it's compelling that u be replied, there is only one Islam, there is nothing according to the traditions of the prophet and his companions SHI'A or SUNNI, they were all Muslims.
Now there are various sects that emerged over the years of which there are disagreements among them, but they still basically pray together and share the basics of the faith. The Shi'a on the other hand are a group of people whose true motives are unknown to all the other various sects, as their beliefs are completely alien to what Muslims believe, so basically to us Muslims the Shi'a isn't even a sect in Islam, they are completely out of it, they are more like a cancer that has been deliberately inserted in the mist of Muslims.
Not that I support any violent act towards them, but in most cases they are always the aggressors, intimidating and harassing anyone, acting with disregard to others rights etc, it is always a battle when they are in the midst of Muslims.
I hope this throws some light on this matter

Personal observations within Major tribes on Nairaland.

I think the people up north would kill and terrorize the oppressed whether proven guilty or not. As long as it does not align with their line of thought or mentor's.
SELF CENTERED but LOVING AMONG THEMSELVES

The SS and SE would support the oppressed, and fight for justice for the oppressed, even if they have been bitten before by same person. From any part of the divide.
EMPATHETIC but GREEDY

The SW and Middle belt are not extreme partisan and swing with the pendulum, obviously because their population has been diluted with all callibers of indigenes

SELFISH but ACCOMODATING

Don't mind those religious bigots. One important fact is that the shiites are much more peaceful than the dagger wedging sunnis youths.
