Heavy Gunfire in Abuja as Soldiers Clash with Shi’ite Protesters
A violent clash erupted in Abuja on Friday as members of the Islamic Movement of Nigeria (IMN), known as Shi’ites, confronted Nigerian soldiers during a protest against the treatment of Palestinians in Gaza.
A viral video shows a large gathering of protesters at Bannex, Ademola Adetokunbo Crescent, Wuse 2, demonstrating in solidarity with Palestinians.
The protest comes just hours after the United States Embassy in Nigeria issued a security alert, warning its citizens about planned IMN demonstrations in Abuja and other major cities. The advisory identified potential protest locations, including Banex Plaza, Berger Junction, Unity Fountain, the National Human Rights Commission Head Office, Eagle Square, Area 10 Shopping Plaza, the National Mosque, Al-Noor Mosque, and Fouad Lababidi Mosque.
