The
Nigerian Army is investigating the alleged killing of some members of Islamic
Movement of Nigeria in Zaria, Kaduna State on Friday, an official has said.
The
Director of Army Public Relations, Brigadier General Olajide Laleye, told the
News Agency of Nigeria by telephone that the investigation would establish what
happened.
“However, what is already clear is that Nigerian Army troops did not initiate firing and only acted in self-defence after being fired upon,” Laleye said.
