Despite the ban placed on their activities, members of the
Islamic Movement of Nigeria aka Shi'ites, staged a protest in
Kaduna state yesterday, calling for the immediate release of
their leader Ibrahim El-Zakzaky.
The state government in October last year, banned the group
from holding any procession or gathering in the state. The
religious group members are demanding that the Federal
government release their leader who has been in detention
since December 2015 after a clash between some of their
members and the Nigerian Army in Zaria, Kaduna state.
