The Federal Government has alleged that Sheikh Ibrahim El-Zakzaky, the leader of the Islamic Movement of Nigeria (IMN) is determined to turn Nigeria into an Islamic state.
The government insisted that the cleric is relying on the support from the Iranian government to actualize his dream.
The government made this known through its claim contained in a counter-affidavit motion against the IMN’s position challenging the proscription of the group as issued by the government on July 26 declaration.
Accordingly, Justice Nkeonye Maha of the Abuja Federal High court who issued the proscription order on Wednesday, fixed September 11 for the next hearing of the motion as was filed by Femi Falana (SAN) on behalf of IMN.
