THE Police Command has declared that six Shiite members have been nabbed for alleged involvement in violent protest in Abuja on Monday.
This was disclosed in a statement issued by the command spokesperson, ASP Marian Yusuf, titled, ‘Police restore calm, disperse violent members of proscribed IMN Shi’ites,’
According to the statement the police successfully restored calm in the Central Business District “after professionally dispersing a violent protest by some members of the proscribed Islamic Movement of Nigeria.”
It added that “Unfortunately, the members of the disbanded sect went on a rampage destroying public property and attacking innocent citizens including police officers with stones and other dangerous objects.
“Consequently, six members of the proscribed sect have been arrested and will be arraigned in court upon conclusion of an investigation.”
Speaking in a similar vein, Commissioner of Police, Bala Ciroma, reiterated that the command would not condone any form of attack on its personnel, equipment or other public property, “as all culpable persons will face the full wrath of the law.”
