Members of the Islamic Movement of Nigeria (IMN), a group of Shiite Muslims were reportedly intimidated and harassed by Nigerian soldiers and police officers on Wednesday in Katsina State. IMN and Shiite followers joined together in a peaceful procession to memorialize the daughter of the Prophet Mohammed, which they do annually. An official statement from IMN, signed by the president of the IMN Media Forum Ibrahim Musa, expressed fear that intimidation by the security agencies could result in violence directed toward the group. According to the statement, “reports from Katsina have indicated that the Nigerian army is amassing troops in an attempt at a clampdown on the Islamic Movement in the town.”
I have been reporting for several years now and I am very interested in visual news reportage with strong inclusion of photos and video multimedia.

Nothing should be overlook in terms of security in the country. Approval from appropriate authority should be gotten before such protest with provided security measure to be on guard for the protesters. Nigeria Army should not be blame if that is not done because Nigerians will blame them if anything goes wrong in terms of security. We have heard how the suicide bombers dress and anything or appearance that look like is suspicious to the security.
