Shi’ites protest in Abuja in solidarity with Palestine

A massive protest is currently going on in Nigeria’s capital city, Abuja by the Members of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria (IMN) otherwise known as Shi’ites to mark the International Qudus in solidarity with the country Palestine.

Members of the sect trooped out in their numbers shortly after the Juma’at prayer at the National Mosque and defied the presence of the heavily armed security agents who had surrounded the mosque to prevent the sect from embarking on the rally.

Some of the placards carried by the protesters were boldly written “Freedom For Palestine” and “Death to Israel.”

One of the protesters by the name Yahaya Suleiman, said the rally was to show support and love to the people of Palestine who have been under the siege of Israel.


“We condemn the continued incursion into Al-aqsa Mosque and occupation of Palestine by the apartheid Zionist Israel regime and we support the people of Palestine in their just struggle.”
