The development comes as Mansoureh Khojasteh Bagherzadeh, wife of Iran’s Supreme Leader, reportedly died from injuries sustained during recent United States and Israeli strikes at her residence in Tehran.

According to the Jamaran News Agency on Monday, Bagherzadeh had slipped into a coma after being injured in the attacks but succumbed to her wounds on March 2.

Her death comes amid reports that Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, was killed in the early hours of Saturday, February 28, during coordinated US and Israeli strikes.

The protest in Lagos on Monday follows similar demonstrations by the Shi’ites in Kano, Yobe, Gombe, and Bauchi states on Sunday.

In Lagos, the demonstrators marched through parts of the Maryland axis, carrying placards and banners denouncing what they described as an “invasion” of Iran and the targeted assassination of the long-serving Iranian leader.
