Shiites members, police clash in Abuja (photos)

Members of the proscribed Islamic Movement of Nigeria aka Shiites
clashed with men of the Nigeria Police Force in Abuja today March 23rd.

Trouble started when the Shiites members who were protesting the
continued detention of their leader, Ibraheem El-Zakzaky, and his wife,
Zeenah, met with police officers along the Aguiyi Ironsi road near
National Human Rights Commotion in Maitama, Abuja.

The faceoff reportedly led to the police opening fire to disperse the protesting Shiites members. See more photos below
