KANO NIGERIA: Tens of Thousands Protest Anti-Islam Film (PHOTOS)

Tens of thousands of people on Saturday protested on the streets of Kano against an anti-Islam film made in the US that has stirred outrage across the Muslim world.
The crowd of demonstrators stretched several kilometres through the city, with protesters shouting "Death to America, death to Israel and death to the enemies of Islam".
The rally was being organised by the Islamic Movement of Nigeria, a pro-Iranian group that adheres to the Shiite branch of Islam, which has operated in Africa's most populous country since the late 1970s.
"We are out today to express our rage and disapproval over this blasphemous film," said Muhammed Turi, a member of the Islamic Movement and one of the protest leaders.
"This protest is also aimed at calling on the US government to put a halt to further blasphemy against Islam," he added.
Demonstrators carried pictures of US President Barack Obama, as well as American and Israeli flags as they marched towards a palace owned the Emir of Kano, the top religious figure in the city of roughly 4.5 million people. Others were waving Iranian flags.dull photos inside...

However the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission, SEC, Wednesday protested the reinstatement of the Director-General, Ms Arunma Oteh, even as heavily armed security agents were deployed to forestall breakdown of law and order, ahead of her resumption.

Her recall was communicated to her through a circular, SGF.2/S.9/C.13/454 dated 17/ July, 2012, signed by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Sen. Anyim Pius Anyim.

According to him, Oteh’s recall followed the outcome of the findings of the external auditors, the Price Water Coopers Limited, which exonerated her from all accusation of fraud and criminal breaches.

She was however indicted for some administrative lapses.

The circular reads: “Please refer to the decision of the Board of Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to send you on compulsory leave in order to enable SEC’s external auditors-the Price Water Coopers Limited (PWC), to examine the records of the Commission’s transactions covering SEC project 50 which you supervised.

“I am to note that government has studied the report submitted by the external auditors and you are neither indicted for fraud nor criminal breach in any form. However, some administrative lapses were reported, particularly, in cases where administrative procedures were not thoroughly observed.“The purpose of this letter is to recall you from your leave and to caution that you must henceforth endeavour to diligently observe all extant rules and administrative procedures in the conduct of all official transactions.”
