Members of the Islamic Movement of Nigeria (IMN), popularly known as Shiites, have staged a protest in Kano on Sunday to condemn the killing of Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
The demonstration followed reports that a joint US–Israel attack on Saturday led to Khamenei’s death.
Protesters gathered at around 2:30 pm, marching from Fagge Central Mosque, the IMN headquarters in Kofar Waika, Kano State. The protest concluded around 4 pm.
During the rally, several IMN leaders addressed the crowd, denouncing the attack on Iran and urging an end to hostilities. The leaders also led prayers for the souls of those who died in the incident.
