It is recalled that Quds day of 2014 was when the former Jonathan administration killed three of Sheikh Zakzaky’s sons and 30 others including three Christians.
It was very peaceful until the joint task force of Police and soldiers started shooting at us. #FreeZakzaky #Kaduna pic.twitter.com/YhXQORacRJ
