Policemen and members of the Shiite movement clashed in Abuja on Monday, the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
This is after the protesters stormed the Institute For Peace and Conflict Resolution Abuja, in Abogo Largema, a Central business district area in Abuja.
Shiite members are demanding for the release of their leader, Ibrahim El-Zakzaky and lamenting over his continued detention without trial for over two years.
The protest is reported to have started from the Unity Fountain, beside Transcorp hotel.
The Police officers in order to disperse the protesters fired teargas, forcefully dispersing them.
This eventually led to resistance, forcing the protesters to throw stones at the police patrol vehicle.
At press time, many residents were being warned to boycott certain routes in Abuja as a result of the clash.
