Shiite: Police, Army Captured ‘Beating, Stabbing’ Protesters In Abuja [VIDEO]
A viral video shows security forces, including the Nigerian army and police, attacking Shiites demonstrators in Abuja’s Gwarinpa neighborhood.
The Islamic Movement of Nigeria (IMN), commonly known as Shiites, attacked the Gwarinpa district of the nation’s capital on Tuesday morning, clashing with security officers, according to the DAILY POST.
According to a statement released by the Federal Capital Territory Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Adeh Josephine, about 57 people were arrested in connection with the protest violence.

Omoyele Sowore, a socio-political activist who published the footage on his official Facebook page, said that six people were killed in the incident.
His post reads, “This is a video of another bloody attack on Shiites in Gwarimpa area of Nigeria’s Federal capital Abuja today by a detachment of the HQ Nigerian Army and Nigeria Police Force.
