Reports just reaching us have it that the Shiites group despite warnings issued out and the threat of possible proscription by President Buhari, today defied the threats and yet again stormed the streets of Abuja in another protest.
Video evidence available reveals another long procession of the sects members reportedly around Banex with all gates shut and people advised to lock themselves in.
The Shiites have continued to protest against the continued detention of its leader, Sheikh Ibraheem El-Zakzaky and his wife Zeenat.
Both have been in detention since December 2015, following a fracas between El-Zakzaky followers and the army in Zaria.
A Federal High court in Abuja had ruled that they should be set free.
Take a look at the video below:
In a tweet also, human rights activist, Deji Adeyanju also tweeted a video alleging that the Police are currently attacking members of Shiites.
