The United States on Friday said it was concerned by the deaths of Nigerians in clashes between Shi’ite Muslims and police earlier this week and what it called the apparently disproportionate response of the police in the violence.

Police said nine people were killed in the clashes during which officers opened fire on members of the Islamic Movement of Nigeria (IMN) taking part in a procession in the northern city of Kano on Monday, but the minority sect said dozens died.

Security analysts have drawn some parallels between the IMN and Boko Haram, the Sunni Muslim jihadist group whose insurgency began in 2009.

The violence was the latest in a series of incidents involving the sect. A judicial inquiry in August reported that 347 IMN members were killed and buried in mass graves after clashes with the army in December 2015, and two sect members were killed in processions in Kaduna state in October.

“The United States is deeply concerned by the deaths of dozens of Nigerians during clashes between individuals participating in a Shia procession and the Nigerian Police Force in Kano State,” a statement by the U.S. diplomatic mission in Nigeria said.

“While the matter is still under investigation, we are troubled by the apparent disproportionate response by the police,” said the statement, issued by spokesman John Kirby, which also called for “calm and restraint on all sides”.

Are they also deeply concerned about the killing of the police officer as they used to be when any of U.S. police is killed in U.S.

US under Donald J Trump will place a more stiffer sanction against Nigeria.

So Buhari and his black monkeys should commit as many crimes as they can now while the offer last.

Isn't it time for ICC to step in and have the likes of Mumuhammadull and Burantashi jailed for genocide and extra judicial extermination..?

It won't stop our president from unleashing polıce and mılıtary on unarmed cıvılıans...

Eyaa!

We nigerians are also sad that US police shoot n kill unarmed blacks anyhow.

Devilish people! you were not sad when they where killing peaceful unarmed protesters in onitsha.

gmmm

I won't bother myself exchanging words with you, as from your post I can tell your level of intellectual reasoning

Can they just mind their business. They act like they care when we know they pop champagne at our misfortune

The USA are wailers . They have been bribed by the iPob yoots to smear the image of the President.

















The fear of Trump . The first official reaction from the US against the continuous abuse of human right against Nigerians.

USA should face their nation and quit condemning d happenins in nigeria...we are a sovereign nation 4 God sake.always lookin 4 an avenue 2 spill gibberish.....Nonsense.

The sunnis should learn to be tolerant.
