The Shi’ites group, an islamic movement in Nigeria, had on Tuesday stormed the the National Assembly in protest against the continued detention of their religious leader, El-Zakzaky.
In the course of the event, the protest took a violent turn as they encountered security operatives, with cars and properties destroyed.
To prevent further crisis, the police spokesman, Frank Mbah, said the commissioners of police and their supervisory assistant inspectors general of police in states contiguous to the FCT have also been placed on the alert to prevent further breakdown. Meanwhile investigations have also been ordered as well as prosecution of suspects involved.
The IGP however expressed his displeasure over the unwarranted and unjustifiable attack on, and injury to nine (9) Police Officers by members of the El-Zakzakky group and commended the restraint, maturity and professionalism displayed by Police personnel in containing the protest.”
