A gun duel between men of the Nigerian Military and the Shiite Muslims on Friday has left no fewer than four persons dead in Zaria, Kaduna State.
The clash was as a result of protest staged by the Islamic group over the ongoing war between Israeli soldiers and the Palestinian militant group in Gaza called Hamas. The Palestinian has suffered more casualty figures than Israel since the offensive begun. .
Members of the Shiite Muslims, who were on a procession around the PZ area of Zaria, marched through the streets chanting their songs. Even though we could not confirm how the trouble started, our reporter got information that the earlier peace protest turned bloody.
It could not be confirmed if the army lost any of its officers in the fight.
The violence erupted while the group was carrying out the annual Muzahara procession usually observed during Ramadan.
