Musa revealed that “the killing happened on Saturday evening when the Islamic group clashed with security agents during it’s Ashura mourning session in the state.”

The leader lamented that the security men had vandalized vehicles of those who attended the mourning, adding that a vehicle which belongs to the policemen caught fire after it fell into a gutter, resulting in the burning of a house close to it.

The statement added, “A team of policemen attacked a gathering of members of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria holding the annual Ashura mourning commemorating the brutal assassination of Imam Husein, the grandson of Prophet Muhammad and killed three persons.
