IG’s arrest order curtailing our freedom – Shi’ites

The sect vowed to carry out its annual Ashura procession as well as continue the struggle for the freedom of the IMN leader, Ibrahim El-Zakzaky, and the others still in detention.

WE4WE REPORTS had reported that the Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, had ordered the police to arrest all identified Shi’ite leaders and dismantle their structures nationwide.

But the President, Media Forum of IMN, Ibrahim Musa, in a statement on Sunday, said the movement had challenged the proscription order in court, arguing that El-Zakzaky was not a security threat to Nigeria or any other country.
