Unknown gunmen have shot and killed a top leader of the Shiites group in Kano around 8 AM this morning according to reliable sources.

Family sources told Saharareporters that a group of gunmen suspected to be Boko Haram operatives approached a prominent Shiites leader and Kano state civil servant, Alhaji Mohammed Alli at his home requesting to use one of his motorbikes for Jihad, but Alhaji Alli turned down the request and was promptly shot at a close range by the rampaging sect members.

Alhaji Alli who lived in the Gadan Kaya area of Kano. He was known as one of the richest Shiites residing in Kano. His remains has since been deposited at the Murtala Mohammed hospital in Kano in preparation for burial according to Muslim rites.

The vast Shiites group in Nigeria is led by Sayyid Ibrahim Zakzaky and the group is reputedly one of Nigeria's best organized Islamic sect with millions of members spread across northern Nigeria.
Today's killing could lead to a dangerous and wider intersect war between Boko Haram and the Shiites.

Shiite (shia) muslim is a sect that sprang out of Islam immediately after the death of the Prophet. They believe that the successor should always come out of the Prophet's family. (most shia muslims are found in iraq and iran).
The other sect is the sunni muslim (85% of muslims worldwide). They believe in choosing the most qualified as their leader.
The difference between the two sects is lies in their political ideaologies.

I have seen this Zakzaky sect before.They gather annually in Zaria.Their presence was always highly intimidating,dressed in black clothings and have members join them from neighbouring countries causing several hours of holdups.I just pray boko haram dont claim responsibility because if they do...I pray for christian brethrens residing in Kaduna and Kano.I believe God will always keep His own.

It should be preety obvious to any dimwit that the shite man was killed for refusing to release his motorbike for them t perpetrate evil.so it shows not everybody support boko haram and the dead man deserves a humane and sane comment

how come shia and sunni been living together all these while in Nigera?
Its just amazing.
They are the problem of afghanistan, iraq and pakistan.
Everyday In cnn since i was born
its blood and anti-bomb
venge and revenge
taliate and retaliate
no forgiveness.
Dudes can revenge for a hurt 300 years ago, thisday bombing was just a 10years revenge and people were shocked. Lol
i asked a white girl in a chat
'are you sunni or shia?'
she said 'sunni of course'
i said 'cool'
i don't even know the differece.

When two elephants fight...
