The group, in a letter addressed to the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, gave 21 reasons the ministry should act fast and outlaw the group for constituting nuisance in the country.
It reads: “We at Global Integrity Crusade Network have keenly monitored activities of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria otherwise known as Shiites within the past few weeks and note with bitterness that members of the organization have continued to breach national peace, cause mayhem and make life unbearable for innocent citizens, especially in the Federal Capital Territory Abuja and its environs.
“We, like other well-meaning Nigerians, are worried that after over two years of receipt of the White Paper, your office has not deemed it fit to take decisive actions against IMN despite the fact that the group, which has already been outlawed by Kaduna State Government, would stop at nothing to destabilize our dear country.
“4. That IMN has built a leadership since the past three decades that has been steadfast and deliberate in habitual acts of lawlessness and defiance of constituted authorities in Nigeria. “8. That El-Zakzaky has been arranging, managing and participating in meetings alongside members of IMN which in his knowledge are connected with terrorism. This offence is punishable pursuant to Section 4 of the Terrorism Act, 2013 which prescribes imprisonment for a term not less than 20 years.
“12. That the petrol bombs, lethal weapons and other explosives used by members of IMN during their clash with the Nigerian Army in Zaria, Kaduna State in December 2015 were all provided by their most revered leader El-Zakzaky with support from foreign funders and sympathizers. This is an offence under Section 9 of the Terrorism Act, 2013 and is punishable with imprisonment for not less than 20 years.
“16. That IMN has shown by the infractions committed since its existence that it is not different from Boko Haram and the Indigenous People of Biafra , which have since been profiled, disbanded and labelled as terrorist groups both in Nigeria and abroad.
This smells like FG's usual gimmicks against people they don't like..
