Nigerian Government Accuses Local Shiites of Plotting Violent Revolution

Chika Oduah

   ENUGU, NIGERIA - Abdullahi Musa, a Nigerian engineer, does not sleep in
   the same house for long these days. He frequently moves around
   different neighborhoods throughout Abuja, where he was born and reared.
   Musa has been increasingly concerned about his security.

   "Nobody is safe in this country," Musa, 33, told VOA. "Nobody has the
   guts to say he is safe in Nigeria, except if he belongs to the minority
   who are leading the nation and they are promoting this violence."

   Musa is accusing the government of violently repressing Nigeria's
   largest Shiite group. It's called the Islamic Movement ofNigeria, or
   IMN. Musa is a member.
