Shia Islam was almost unknown in Nigeria until the 1980s, when it was introduced primarily through the efforts of Ibrahim (El-)Zakzaky, who was inspired by the 1979 Iranian Revolution. Nigeria’s Muslim population is overwhelmingly Sunni. Independent estimates (including from Pew Research) put the Shia share at roughly 1–2% of Muslims (or about 1.3% of the total population in some analyses), though other sources give higher figures of several million. The community is concentrated in northern states such as Kano, Sokoto, Kaduna, and Zaria, and the main organized group has been the Islamic Movement of Nigeria (IMN), led by Zakzaky. This remains a minority community that has faced significant tensions and clashes with authorities at times.
