Hundreds of members of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria (IMN) on Sunday staged a protest in Kano over the reported killing of Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei.
The demonstrators, carrying Iranian flags and portraits of Khamenei, marched through parts of the city in what they described as a solidarity action following the joint U.S.–Israeli strikes that reportedly led to the Iranian leader’s death.
The peaceful procession began at Fagge Central Mosque around 3 p.m. and ended at the IMN Islamic Centre in Kofar Waika, where participants held speeches and prayers.
Scholars who addressed the gathering spoke on developments in the Middle East and their potential global implications, while a special prayer session was conducted for the people of Iran, seeking divine intervention amid the escalating conflict.
When contacted, the Kano State Police Public Relations Officer, CSP Abdullahi Haruna, said he would verify details from the Divisional Police Officer in the area.
As of the time of filing this report, no further official statement had been issued.
The protest remained orderly, with no reported incidents of violence.
GISTSMATE MEDIA earlier reported that IMN also took to the streets of Niger State on Sunday to protest reports of the assassination Khamenei.
The development, which has not been independently verified by international authorities as of press time, triggered immediate outrage among followers of the Shi’a cleric, who described the reported killing as an act of “global injustice and imperial aggression.” read more
