About 6 people were killed yesterday July 25th, in a clash that occured between Nigerian soldiers and Shiite Muslims in Zaria, Kaduna State.
The Shi'a Muslim group had gathered in the PZ area of the town for their annual Ramadan ritual called Muzahara, where thousands of Muslim faithful march around the city dressed in black to protest a cause.
They dedicated their march yesterday to the conflict between Israel and Palestine. Sources said the group were confronted by soldiers as they gathered after Friday prayers, chanting Islamic songs, carrying placards and condemning Israel's invasion of Gaza.
The soldiers' mission was to disperse the crowd but one thing led to another and violence erupted. Shots were fired and at least 6 people were killed.
