Several armed Nigerian soldiers and policemen who surrounded a Shiite gathering at Zango Road, Kaduna, have withdrawn.
Worshipers had gathered to commemorate historical events associated with the Islamic month of Muharram that are particularly significant in the Shia calendar, when the soldiers arrived.
Shi’a members who were trapped inside a compound have also dispersed, Premium Times say. There were no clashes, and no one was arrested, a witness added.
“Everywhere is calm now. The security people ensured there was no trouble,” he said.
