The fight between the Nigerian Police and members of the Shiites movement seem unending as it turned bloddy earlier this afternoon after some members of the movement engaged the police in a fierce gun battle at the Central Business District in Abuja.
The police reportedly asked the Islamic group not to stage any protest out of the designated area for protest in Abuja which is the Unity Fountain. Notwithstanding, Shiites who are demanding the release of their leader, Ibrahim ElZakzaky, reportedly dared the police and took their protest to the Central Business district.
Efforts by the police to stop them from staging the protest turned bloody within minutes as gun shots were fired by the Shiites and the police.
A bus belonging to the National Emergency Management Agency, NEMA, was reportedly burnt by the angry Shiite members.
