Members of the South West leadership of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria staged a peaceful protest in Lagos State, denouncing the death of Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, in strikes by the United States and Israel.
The protest, which took place in the early hours of Monday, follows similar demonstrations in Kano State on Sunday.
In Lagos, demonstrators marched through parts of the Maryland axis, carrying placards and banners denouncing what they described as an “invasion” of Iran and the targeted assassination of the long-serving Iranian leader.
Chants and slogans expressed solidarity with Iran and strong opposition to the actions of the United States and Israel.
