An unplanned protest by Shiite Muslims in Abuja today has left two policemen dead, others injured with ten of the protesters gunned down by the police. 

The attack which occurred around the Zone 7 police command at Zone 3 Wuse left lots of panic amongst residents and the nearby Wuse market, which was later shutdown as a result of the incident. 

The remains of those killed in the course of the attack have been taken to the Wuse General Hospital while some others in critical condition were rushed to National Hospital Abuja. 

So far no statement has been issued by either the Force Public Relations Officer or the group that carried out the attack. 

The Supreme Leader of the Shiite group, known as the Islamic Movement in Nigeria, (IMN), Sheikh Ibraheem Zakzaky have been behind some key protests in the North. 

After spending five months receiving medical treatment in Iran, Zakzaky and his wife Zeenah returned to Abuja early this year with a strong resolve to continue with his agitation.
