Pro-Iran Rally Rocks Potiskum As Ibrahim Zakzaky Followers Mourn Ali Khamenei


PRO-IRAN supporters staged a public rally in Potiskum, Yobe State, as followers of Ibrahim Zakzaky, leader of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria, marched through parts of the town to express solidarity with the Islamic Republic of Iran and condemn the reported killing of Ali Khamenei.

According to reports, the demonstrators gathered in large numbers, chanting slogans and carrying placards in support of Iran’s leadership while criticising what they described as foreign aggression. The rally, which was held under the banner of the Islamic Movement’s local chapter, was largely peaceful but drew attention from security operatives who monitored the procession to prevent a breakdown of law and order.

Participants described Khamenei as a symbol of resistance and called for unity among supporters of Iran’s political and religious leadership. The gathering also featured prayers and speeches condemning his reported killing and urging continued support for Iran.

Local authorities have not issued an official statement on the rally, and there were no immediate reports of violence or arrests. However, security presence was heightened in parts of Potiskum as a precautionary measure.

The Islamic Movement in Nigeria, a Shiite organisation led by Zakzaky, has in the past organised demonstrations in solidarity with Iran and its leadership, particularly during periods of heightened tensions involving the Middle Eastern country.

March 2, 2026

Hundreds of members of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria (IMN) on Sunday staged a protest in Kano over the reported killing of Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei.

The demonstrators, carrying Iranian flags and portraits of Khamenei, marched through parts of the city in what they described as a solidarity action following the joint U.S.–Israeli strikes that reportedly led to the Iranian leader’s death.

The peaceful procession began at Fagge Central Mosque around 3 p.m. and ended at the IMN Islamic Centre in Kofar Waika, where participants held speeches and prayers.

Scholars who addressed the gathering spoke on developments in the Middle East and their potential global implications, while a special prayer session was conducted for the people of Iran, seeking divine intervention amid the escalating conflict.

When contacted, the Kano State Police Public Relations Officer, CSP Abdullahi Haruna, said he would verify details from the Divisional Police Officer in the area. As of the time of filing this report, no further official statement had been issued.

The protest remained orderly, with no reported incidents of violence.
