A clash erupted Thursday between Nigeria’s Police and members of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria (IMN) during a pro-Palestine demonstration in Kaduna.
The Police claim the IMN fired at them, resulting in a civilian casualty while the IMN alleges two of their members were killed by the Police.
The demonstrators were expressing support for Palestine and marched to submit a protest letter to the National Human Rights Commission.
