Presidencysays proscription of Islamic Movement of Nigeria, IMN has nothing to do withbanning the larger numbers of peaceful and law abiding Shi’ites in the countryfrom practicing their religion.
Astatement by the President’s Senior Special Assistant on Media and PublicityGarba Shehu however, said the banning was to discourage wanton violence, murderand willful destruction of public and private property.
Shehuexplained that contrary to the claim by the group that it had been banned frompracticing its religion, the Buhari administration had not banned Shiites fromobserving their five daily prayers and going to Mecca to perform the Holypilgrimage.
Accordingto the Spokesman, their position is blatantly false and deceptive.
Heexplained that everywhere in the world protesters operate within legalboundaries and conduct themselves peacefully without molesting others, orengaging in murder and killing of security personnel or destroying public and privateproperty.
