*2 killed by police in Kano*

*As IMN begins Arbaeen trek to Zaria*

Two unidentified members of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria were killed by mobile policemen in Kano who were drafted to stop the Arbaeen annual trek that started peacefully in Kano today.

Thousands of IMN members started the trek from Kofar Mazugal inside Kano metropolis in the morning around 10:00am, prayed afternoon prayers at Kofar Nasarawa and terminated today’s trek at the popular Lado overhead bridge.

It was while people were dispersing that mobile policemen arrived the scene and started firing teargas and eventually live bullets. A muslim brother and Sister were confirmed shot and killed by the police and their corpses taken by their attackers. Many people were reportedly injured.

When news spread that mobile police had laid siege on the Arbaeen trekkers in the outskirts of Kano, a London based human rights group, IHRC, issued a press release calling for restraint on the part of the police authorities.

"We are deeply concerned at reports of this build-up given the past attacks on the Islamic Movement by the police and armed forces. We demand the Nigeria police and authorities de-escalate the situation immediately," said Islamic Human Rights Council (IHRC).

However while terminating today’s trek, a leading member of IMN, Dr. Sunusi Abdulqadir, called on members of IMN to go back home peacefully as they came, and return tomorrow to continue the march to Zaria.

Below is the picture of the unknown victim felled by police bullets and some policemen stationed, waiting for the members of IMN.

This is bad and needs to stop...even if the constitution that you people swore to uphold and gives freedom has no value to you,

There are universal human rights you should adhere to. You don't just go about with your dogs killing people because their beliefs differ from yours. What if your own sons and daughters are hounded and slaughtered like this?


THIS HAS TO STOP. IT IS BECOMING A NORM.

Keep supporting tyranny, evil and wickedness until it knocks on your door.
