notes: Following the end of Fridays Jumaat prayers, large groups of Muslims gather in Zololo Junction for an anti-American/Israeli protest, in the wake of violence in Libya and Egypt. In response, soldiers told the demonstrating youths to refrain and stop the demonstration and disperse. But the warning was not heeded, forcing the soldiers to shoot sporadically into the air to disperse them. Security forces added further security to the cities of Kano and Kaduna, anticipating further protests.
