Revealed: How Nigerian Army Distorted The Truth About The Killing Of Shi'ites (Video)

Posted by Samuel on Tue 18th Dec, 2018 - tori.ng

A new report has shown that the Nigerian army distorted the truth about the killing of protesting Shi'ite members in Abuja.

Scene of the killings
 
New evidence has emerged on the killing of members of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria (IMN), better known as Shi’ites, in October.
 
The IMN members who were on a protest for the release of their leader, Ibrahim El-Zakzaky, clashed with soldiers and many of them were killed in the process.
 
According to the New York Times, an investigation into the incident showed that Nigerian troops fired live ammunition at the “unarmed” Shi’ites, contrary to the army’s claim that they were armed.
 
The newspaper said it visited the scene of the attack, reviewed hundreds of videos, spoke with witnesses and survivor before arriving at the conclusion that the incident was a “massacre”.
 
One of the survivors, Abdullahi Musa, who spoke with the newspaper said an officer pointed a gun at one of the IMN members and shot him in the chest despite holding an apron.
 
“Whenever the security forces come during our protests, I run to the front to meet them and speak to them,” Musa said.
 
“So I was arriving, there was a guy using an apron, when the army officer comes and pointed a gun to his chest and shoot him. They just arrived and started shooting on the crowd.”
