<\/p>\nMembers of the Islamic Movement of Nigeria aka Shi’ites, staged a protest in Kaduna state yesterday, calling for the immediate release of their leader Ibrahim El-Zakzaky.<\/p>\n
Recall that the state government in October last year, banned the group from holding any procession or gathering in the state. The religious group members are demanding that the Federal government release their leader who has been in detention since December 2015 after a clash between some of their members and the Nigerian Army in Zaria, Kaduna state.<\/p>\n
