ABUJA (Reuters) – Nigerian police fired teargas at hundreds of Shi’ite Muslim protesters on Tuesday during a second day of clashes in the capital Abuja over the imprisonment of their religious leader, Reuters witnesses said.
The protesters are demanding the release of Ibrahim Zakzaky, leader of the Islamic Movement of Nigeria (IMN), held in jail without charge since December 2015, when security forces killed hundreds of members in a crackdown on a group estimated to have three million followers.
The teargas flooded the Wuse Market area of Abuja at midday on Tuesday, the Reuters witnesses said. On Monday police fired bullets to try and disperse the protesters, and organisers said at least one demonstrator had been killed and several others injured.

A Reminder to all Islamic Clerics !
Does those who make division of Islam will be punished? The answer is No. As Allah command it.
Surely, those who have made divisions in their religion and turned into factions, you have nothing to do with them. Their case rests with Allah alone; then He will tell them what they have been doing. QS 6:159.
Verily your Lord knows best who has strayed from his way, and He is well aware of those who are on the right path. QS 6:(7)
Extremist Muslim accuse Muslim Shia and Muslim Ahmadiyah blasphemy or non Islam, because they divide Islam from Majority Sunni. This blasphemy law cause religious war in Syria, Iraq, cause millions innocent people and children are suffering and die.
Government has to remove or abolish the Blasphemy law, or Government has to protect the right of Shiah and Ahmadiya to worship their belief.
Al our love ❤️
I never read or heard that in Iraq blasphemy law was used or discussed (except in the so-called Mafia state of ‘daesh’ that is).
Only the extremist Wahhabi Salafi create a blasphemy law in every Islamic countries—Indonesia, Pakistan, Malaysia etc.
