Supporters of El-Zakzaky and the military clashed in Zaria last weekend.

The barricade and consequent raid by the army on the residence of El-Zakzaky reportedly led to the death of some of the latter’s supporters, including his son.

Few days after El-Zakzaky’s home was stormed by the military, Governor El-Rufai announced the establishing of a judicial commission of investigation to look into the clash between the Shiite members and the military.
