Musa also claimed that vehicles of those who attended the mourning were vandalised, while a police vehicle caught fire after it fell into a gutter, resulting in the burning of a house close to it.

KanyiDaily reports that the IMN members were protesting the continued detention of their leader, Sheikh Ibrahim Zakzaky, by the federal government of Nigeria.
