Shiites: Police Ban Illegal Protests In Kaduna

The Kaduna State Command of the Nigeria Police Force has announced a ban on all unlawful protests in the state.

The State Police Command made this known in a statement on Sunday by its spokesperson, ASP Mansir Hassan.

The statement particularly warned that the ban affects the planned Ashura procession by the Islamic Movement of Nigeria (IMN), also known as Shiites, to mark the 2024 Islamic Ashura day ceremony.

Hassan noted that the Ashura procession has been known over the years to be characterised by unimaginable violence leading to the destruction of properties, injuries to persons and even loss of lives.

The Kaduna Police spokesperson added that the Shiites group has been outlawed, hence their planned protest is illegal.
