Five people were feared killed Friday after a clash between Nigerian soldiers and Shiite Muslims in Zaria, Kaduna State.
Residents said soldiers exchanged fire with members of the group who were on a procession around the PZ area of the town, in response to the conflict between Israel and Palestine.
The procession, called Muzahara, is an annual ritual after the Ramadan, during which thousands of faithful walk around the city dressed in black.
Recent news Updates has just confirmed that Mahumd Ibraheem Zakzaky, the son of Sheik Ibraheem Zakzaky, was among those gunned down by Nigerian soldiers in Zaria as a group held a rally in support of Palestinians on Israel’s invasion of Gaza.
Mahmud Zakzaky and a few other demonstrators were killed in the shooting this evening in the ancient town of Zaria.
