<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Daily Sun gathered that about 10 persons sustained bullet wounds, following gunshots in the area.<br />Sources stated that the mayhem was induced by the decision of Ikenga Ogidi community to effect a Supreme Court judgement, which granted the community a portion of land that had been in dispute between Ikenga Ogidi and Umusioeme Nkpor.<br />Investigation by Daily Sun revealed that Umusiome community had sold a large portion of the land in question to individuals and groups, thereby complicating matters.<br />It was reliably gathered that those who purchased the land in the area joined the Umusiome community to resist the Ikenga villagers from taking over the land, apparently in order not to lose their buildings and the land they had purchased at high cost.<br />When Daily Sun visited the area, it was discovered that several buildings had been burnt, while many of the residents had vacated the area for fear of being attacked.<br />When contacted, the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) for Ogidi Division, Mr. Isa Abubakar, confirmed the incident, saying the land dispute had been a major issue in the area.<br />He told journalists that his men had been deployed in the area in dispute to maintain peace.<br />The DPO appealed to the warring groups to give peace a chance, adding that the state police command was on top of the problem.</span></div>

Nobody was molested let alone his property. In fact the leader of the procession was delivering his speech, when some soldiers attacked the participants of the procession who were at PZ Junction in Zaria.<br />In the ensuing melee, 10 people were killed by the soldiers, 40 were shot and now receiving treatment. And among the killed is a Muslim Sister together with her child on her back and the son of Sheikh Zakzaky, Mahmud Ibraheem Zakzaky. Also among those shot by the soldiers are two Muslim sisters.<br />Not only that, the soldiers went away with 3 children of Sheikh Zakzaky, namely Ahmad, Hameed and Ali. As of now their whereabouts is still unknown.<br />We vehemently condemn this vicious atrocity committed by the soldiers on us. Why should we be attacked? Who did we provoke during the peaceful procession? Who authorized this attack? Who participated in the attack among the soldiers? These are some of the questions the security operatives in the state need to answer us and the public.<br />Also we demand the unconditional release of Sheikh Zakzaky's children in soldiers’ custody and other Muslim brothers they might be holding. And should anything happen to them, we will hold the authorities responsible!<br />This is not the first peaceful procession carried out by Muslim brothers in Zaria. In fact due to its peaceful nature residents in Zaria don't consider it as an unusual event that calls for caution.<br />Another proof of the peaceful nature of the procession is the fact that it was staged today in Kaduna, Kano, Sokoto, Katsina, Potiskum, Jos, Bauchi, Gombe, and many other towns in Northern Nigeria and all ended peacefully. So why should the one in Zaria be an exception? The authorities should explain.<br />The casualty figures might increase, God willing we will keep the public informed of the Transgressor in Nigeria.<br />Signed<br />ABDULHAMID BELLO<br /><br /></span><br />
