Members of the Islamic Movement of Nigeria (IMN) on Thursday held procession in Sokoto and Kastina states.
They used the rally to call for the release of their leader, Sheikh Ibrahim El-Zakzaky, who is currently in Police custody.
He has been in detention after his Shi’ites members blocked the convoy of the Chief of Army Staff, Tukur Buratai, in Zaria.
The incident led to killing of scores of members, including IMN second-in-command, Muhammad Turi.
