In Kastina state, nothing less than 9 people have been reported to have died after police opened fire on a procession of Shia Muslims marking the Ashura festival in Nigeria.
The group said in a statement late Wednesday that at least 13 of its members were killed in multiple clashes with the police and some hoodlums in Funtua, Sokoto and Kaduna.
Kaduna, Katsina, Kano and Kebbi earlier had banned the group’s annual procession.
