A sub-station of the National
Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) at the federal secretariat, Abuja, is
currently on fire.
Two vehicles of the agency were
set ablaze while firefighters are currently battling to put out the inferno.
A witness revealed that
aggrieved members of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria (IMN) better known as
Shi’ites who were marching on the streets of Abuja set the sub-station ablaze
after the police disrupted their protest.
The protest, which began from
NITEL junction at Wuse 2, was disrupted by armed policemen who have cordoned the road leading
to the national assembly and three arms zone
.
However, our reporter
counted at least two corpses at the scene of the attack.
The IMN members better known as
Shi’ites had hit major roads within the city to protest the continued detention
of Ibrahim El-Zakzaky, their leader.
Most of the roads have been
abandoned as many residents scuttled to safety.
“I had to park my car and run for
safety,” a resident told TheCable.
