A clash between Shiites and operatives of the Nigerian Police Force in Kaduna when Sheikh El Zakzaky followers were in a procession to mark International Quds Day left no fewer than 20 injured on Friday.

Engr. Yunusa Lawal, a Shiite leader, said they were on a peaceful procession as part of the activities marking the International Quds Day to say no to the continued illegal occupation of Palestine by apartheid Isreal before the police attacked them.

“About 20 of our members suffered varying degrees of injuries with two of them including a woman sustaining gunshot injury, but so far, we cannot ascertain whether there is any casualty or not.

“Apartheid Israel continues its illegal occupation of Palestine. Incessant terror attacks by the Israeli brutal forces are being done frequently. The gross violations of human rights against Palestinians become the order of the day.

“The increase in people’s awareness of the injustice being perpetrated against Palestine and the exposure of atrocities being committed is what we are sensitising people about.

“The Islamic Movement has been observing this event for decades in Nigeria. In fact, one of the reasons for the Buhari massacre in Zaria to kill Sheikh El -Zakzaky and disbanding the Islamic Movement was this support and solidarity for the Palestinians.

“The same Buhari-led government that used the military to inflict the death-threatening injuries on Sheikh Zakzaky and his wife is now denying them their fundamental human rights to health by imposing an illegal ban on their travel documents.

“We condemn the continued incursions into Al-Aqsa mosque and occupation of Palestine by the apartheid Zionist Israel regime and we support the oppressed people of Palestine in their just struggle.

“We also condemn the continued denial of Sheikh Ibraheem Zakzaky and his wife, Muallima Zeenah, their travel passports to enable the couple to travel for medical treatment,” he said.

“Weeks ago, six of our members were killed by Policemen in Kaduna during yet another procession in demand for the release of the passports of our leader, Sheikh El-zazaky and his wife,” he alleged

The spokesperson of the Kaduna Police Command could not be reached for comments.
