Some Nigerians who say they have lost family members in last month’s clash between the army and members of the country’s main Shia Muslim sect have been protesting in the northern city of Zaria.
They have been telling BBC Hausa’s Nura Ringim that they want the bodies of their loved ones back for a “proper burial”.
No official figure for the number who were killed has been released, but the sect members believe it runs into hundreds.
The violence followed allegations that members of the sect had attempted to assassinate Nigeria’s army chief.
