Levant:
The IGP yesterday threatened Nigerian citizens with death if they embark on a peaceful religious procession. After killing people on the procession, media houses will be reporting that Shi'ites "clashed" with police. After that threat, whatever happens today should not be regarded as a "clash" but an assault and attack on Shi'ites.

What happens to the government declaration that they are banning an organization and not the Shi'ite religion? Is this not a religious procession? Why forcefully disperse them? Where is the respect for freedom of religion? Is it not the same Ashura procession that takes place here in the heart of London peacefully? Does the British police attack Shi'ites during their procession? Or are Nigerians now living in Wahhabi Saudi Arabia? There is freedom of religion in Nigeria and there is religious tolerance.

This rubbish of attacking peaceful religious processions should stop.

Will they be less Shi'ites if they do not embark on the procession?The police warned them not to.The leaders of these groups and their families are all safe and sound.

Attacking people who are observing a[b]peaceful religious service[/b]. One day another story will be told

Mrsoundoro:
More people are been killed and injured by the Nigeria police across all state because of Ashura really.

Ashura is a religious observance for Muslims all over the world. Ashura literally means tenth, and it is celebrated on the 10th day of Muharram, first month on the Islamic calendar.

In 2015, the North said "sai baba buhari or death" and ever since then they've been dying left, right centre. Still 4yrs later them still mumu themselves and were yelling "sai baba or death" again. Now the death is coming in multiple folds from bokoharam to fulani terrorist bandits to NPF. I hope they'll still be people left in the north by 2023.
