The Federal Capital Territory is experiencing turmoil as Shiite youths succeeded in taking over the Federal Secretariat having chased away policemen on guard.
The youths were protesting the continued detention of their leader Ibrahim El-Zakzaky who had been in detention for some time now.
The secretariat complex is a few metres from the National Assembly and the Presidential Villa.
The youths, who were armed with stones, chased away a police team and overturned a traffic warden cabin on the road.
They also reportedly injured the Federal Secretariat Divisional Police Crime officer in the face after he asked them to stop harassing motorists.
