What's all this?? US, UK Want President Buhari To Probe The Nigeria Army/Shiites Clash

The United States and the United Kingdom have
expressed their concern over the recent clash
between the Nigerian Army and Muslim Shiites
in Zaria, Kaduna.
Both countries have called on President Buhari
not to fold his hands but probe the incident,
while also calling on both parties (the Nigeria
Army and Shiites), to refrain from actions that
might further destabilize the situation...
''While many details of the incidents that
reportedly began on December 12 remain
unclear, we are dismayed to learn of multiple
civilian deaths. It is essential that all sides
refrain from actions that further destabilize the
situation.
''The United States calls on the Government
of Nigeria to quickly, credibly and transparently
investigate these events in Zaria and hold to
account any individuals found to have
committed crimes.'' The US embassy said in a
statement Wednesday.
''Like many across Nigeria, I am following
with concern the reports of violence in Zaria over
the weekend between the Nigerian security
forces and the Islamic Movement of Nigeria. I
am further concerned at reports that protests in
Kaduna have turned violent.
''Nigeria's religious and ethnic diversity adds a
great deal to this country's rich culture. It is
important, therefore, that Nigerians of all faiths
are allowed to assemble and worship freely.
''In addition, I call on the security forces to
conduct their operations within the rule of law,
and for demonstrators to ensure any protests
are peaceful and equally act within the law.'' The
British High Commissioner, Paul Arkwright also
said in a statement.
