The Islamic Movement in Nigeria (IMN) has listed the names of 34 of its members who were allegedly shot dead by soldiers between between October 27 and October 30, when its members clashed with soldiers.
In a statement on Sunday, the group accused soldiers of murder, demanding an investigation into the matter, stating that the list would be updated to accommodate the names of others yet to be identified.
