A viral video has exposed some security operatives including
the Nigerian army and police personnel assaulting Shiites protesters in
Gwarinpa area of Abuja.
Recall that the members of the Islamic Movement of Nigeria
(IMN) also known as Shiites, stormed the Gwarinpa area of the nation’s capital
on Tuesday morning where they clashed with some security operatives.
A statement by the Federal Capital Territory, FCT Police
Public Relations Officer, DSP Adeh Josephine, revealed that about 57 suspects
were arrested in connection to the violence that erupted during the protest.
A video currently making the rounds on social media however,
showed an attack on the protesters by the security operatives as some
policemen, army officers were sighted dehumanizing members of the IMN.
A socio-political activist, Omoyele Sowore who shared the
video on his official Facebook page, alleged that about six persons were killed
during 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.
“This video captures gruesome attacks that involve beatings,
stabbings with bayonets and at least some gunshots. Sic persons are killed
today as President Muhammadu Buhari continues to order the extra judicial
killing of innocent and defenceless citizens across Nigeria. #BuhariMustGo
#RevolutionNow” [sic.]
