According to a terse statement on its website, the Islamic Movement in Nigeria said:

“Soldiers in Nigerian Army Uniforms attacked Husainiyyah Baqiyattullah this afternoon and opened fire with life ammunition on beare (sic) handed brothers and sisters, killing and wounding many. They have also layed (sic) siege to it, with armored vehicles and soldiers”.

The Shi’ite Muslims led by Sheikh Ibrahim El-Zakzaky, have their spiritual headquarters near the polo field, Zaria.
