WATCH: 3 die as Shi’ites clash with soldiers
Some Shi’ite protesters were engaged in a face-off with operatives of the Nigerian Army in Zuba, Abuja, on Saturday.
The violent protest led to a hail of gunfire from the soldiers as they repelled the protesters.
About three persons were reportedly killed in the incident.
Leader of the Islamic group, Ibrahim El-Zakzaky, has been in detention since a December 2015 march with his followers in Zaria degenerated into bloodshed.
El-Zakzaky is scheduled to make an appearance before the Kaduna High Court on November 7 for his bail application.
