Some members of the Islamic
Movement of Nigeria (IMN) better known as Shi’ites broke into the national
assembly complex premises on Tuesday, prompting a fierce encounter with
security operatives.
The protesters, who stormed the
premises in droves to demand the release of Ibrahim El-Zakzaky, their leader,
destroyed quite a number of vehicles during the violent invasion.
They also shattered the glass of
some offices while chairs and tables were reduced to ruins.
Consequently, the house of
representatives announced the adjournment of plenary, while Femi Gbajabiamila,
the speaker, told lawmakers that an executive session would be held to
deliberate the in
cident.
El-Zakzaky was arrested after the
Shi’ites clashed with a convoy of the chief of army staff in Kaduna state in
2015.
There have been court orders
granting him bail but the government insisted on detaining him, thereby,
agitating his followers.
Below are photos of some of the
vehicles that were destroyed during the violent invasion.
