January 10, 2016.
Shiites members and rival Muslim youths have clashed in Jos leaving one person dead.
The Shitte members were said to be protesting the continued detention of their leader El-Zakzaky, his wife and some other members before the incident.
Media and Communications Officer of the Special Task Force, also known as ‘Operation Safe Haven’, Capt. Ikedichi Iweha, while confirming the incident on Sunday said one person was killed.
Iweha said the Commander of the task force, Maj. Gen. Tagbo Udeh, had ordered a ban on all forms of processions and rallies in the state, adding that such rallies or procession must get the tacit permission of the police.
Hundreds of Shi’tte women, clad in all black, had staged a protest in Jos on Saturday, demanding the release of Zakzaky, his wife and members of the movement that were arrested when they clashed with the army on December 12 in Zaria for proper medical attention.
