“In Malumfashi, Katsina state also another person was killed.

“In Katsina town however, several people sustained bullet wounds when the police opened fire on the mourners, not only during the mourning procession, but afterwards as the well armed policemen attempted to forcibly make their way into the Islamic centre of the Movement,” he said.

He noted however that the casualty figures may rise as some members who sustained serious gunshot wounds may not survive.
