A video footage has emerged showing the moment soldiers opened fire on Shiite Muslims yesterday in Abuja.

The security operatives opened fire members of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria who embarked on a symbolic annual Arbaeen annual trek at Zuba, Abuja.

Over six Shiite members were killed and many others injured in the clash between the sect and soldiers. 

It was learnt that the Shiites were having a religious protest which began from the Suleja area of Niger State when they encountered the soldiers around Zuba area.

It was gathered that the some of the Shiite Muslims who started the walk from Suleja, Niger state to Abuja were dispersed by security men who allegedly fired teargas and eventually live bullets at the crowd.

Meanwhile, the army has issued a press statement on the clash with Shiite Muslims. 

The army said "Troops of Army Headquarters Garrison on official duty escorting ammunition and missiles from Abuja to Army Central Ammunition Depot in Kaduna State were attacked by some members of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria (IMN) sect at Zuba bridge". 

"The sect who were supposedly in a procession, established an illegal road block denying motorists free passage. When the troops’ convoy attempted to clear the road block, they met stiff opposition from the sect".

"Members of the sect used various objects to barricade the road and also pelted the troops with stones and other dangerous items. They smashed both military and civilian vehicles’ windscreens and windows".

"They also attempted to overrun the escorts to cart away the ammunition and missiles the troops were escorting. This led to the troops opening fire to extricate themselves. Consequently, troops of 102 Guards Battalion in whose Area of Responsibility the incident occurred rushed to the convoy’s rescue".

Nigeria under APC is 21th century scam

Buhari has destroyed Nigeria beyond repair.

It's a shame that people that are supposed to protect life are the ones wasting life.

So sad

If you're supporting this lawlessness, one day e fit be your turn. You may not be among the targeted but you can be hit by a stray bullet meant for the targeted. Your people will cry and bury you and NOTHING will happen, your own chapter will close while people will still be standing with your murderers

We should be careful of who and what we support.

Buhari and his cronies murdered more than 300 shiites, locked up their leader and still murder them at will. You beat a child and you still order him not to cry..

It's okay o, Judgement awaits man.

To me I still prefer shittes to the Sunnis. The Sunnis are far deadlier. Codedly wicked.

Hmmmmmm... I am speechless. Sometimes, you wanna criticize this regime with military, sometimes, you wanna praise them. This is human life. But as someone said, don't judge when you don't have the full details, the more you look, the less you see. 2019 is around the corner, many issue are gonna be politicized. APc did it with Boko Haram in 2015, PDP are doing it with ipob, shitts and other agitator. The common Man is the pawn. Why is anyone not asking details about the Offa robbery? Smh, that's what politics can do to our institution. I am tired of this country. Please, if you have any link for visa lottery to Canada, mention me. This country has been sold. From buhari to atiku... Are there no alternative?

am not taking sides o but one thing has always been the same issue whenever there is clash between the army and this sect. it is always said that they create road blocks and try to deny both civilians and security operatives access. same thing when they clashed with soldiers in Kaduna. what is really happening sef

Is that why soldiers should shoot them? With live bullets, a shot to end life..

Again?

Pharaoh again

Nigera army are terrorist

This is a war crimes offence.
Nigeria is not at war,but Buhari as CinC is committing war crimes with the army.
Nothing,absolutely nothing justifies the killing of civilians.This should not go unpunished at the highest level.
I hope US,UK and Western powers are taking note.
Buhari has never been fit to rule a hamlet,talkless a nation of 180m people.
See how low he has taken us.

chiagozien:

Nigerian Army never serve the citizens rather terrorize them beyond measure.

When you see a Soldier in Nigeria South, an image of torture and terror come to mind.

Evil enterprise with faulty rules of engagement

Dindirin.
So creating road blocks justifies the killing of unarmed people?
Sometimes I wonder which kinds of psychopaths reside in Nigeria with thought processes that a 1year would be ashamed of.

Buhari is a blood sucker

That's why his followers love him

Nothing else

Cc cilimarin vedaxcool yarimo buterflyleo

The blood is ready and served

This is bad... too bad... Military should apply caution... These are human beings for goodness sake...

Don't make it a case where gun will be legalized in Nigeria... it'll be bloody...

President Buhari needs to talk military leaders

Even if the soldiers have to shoot in self defence they should shoot below the knee.

You see why we must all votes out the clueless, murderer,lifeless and certificateless buhari out of power in 2019. he is a murderer.

The story line of the sect attacking Army escorting ammunition to Kaduna is just to cover up the shameful act of the NA.
I strongly believe the officers were drafted from the road block before Dei Dei purposely to disperse the protest.

Very bad

GEJ too is a murderer. The deadly clamp down on the Shiite group also occurred during the last administration. Have you forgotten how many of El Zackzaky's sons that were killed my the military under GEJ?

The use of deadly military force against this troublesome group did not start with PMB's administration. GEJ too used deadly force against them. You could remember some of El Zackzaky's sons were killed during the last administration. We should not accept lawlessness that was not tolerated in previous administration because you don't like the face of the person in power now.

Smh

So since they were killed during Jonathan's time, they should continue to be killed?
My comment is devoid of political affiliations. The day we'll get it right in Nigeria is the day we start treating human life as sacred.

People die gruesomely and people are not even moved anymore, so sad..

Are you stupid? These men were trying to steal their weapons. They deserved to be slaughtered.

If they were killed during the last administration, and they were still being killed Now, that shows you that the group has been terrible and troublesome for a very long time.
About you not being partisan, it shows how selective your sense of "non partisanship" is. You blamed the PMB's administration for killing the Shiite members while keeping mute about the nuisance caused by the group and how GEJ's administration killed them also.
