The policeman who was shot earlier today by a member of the Shiite Movement at a protest in the National Assembly is dead, Igbere TV has learnt.
Igbere TV had reported that the policeman was hit by bullet at the National Assembly complex, where members of the religious sect were protesting the continued detention of their leader, Ibrahim Yaqoub El Zakzaky.
He died a few hours after he was moved out of the National Assembly clinic where he had been admitted for gun shot injuries.
A second policeman who also sustained gunshot injuries is said to be receiving treatment at an undisclosed hospital in Abuja, the Nigerian capital.
