“Such illegal detention of citizens held incommunicado brought to mind the draconian military decrees and speaks of barbaric conducts of past years under the current democracy,” he argued. Eight members of the IMN reportedly died following clashes between members of the sect and security agents in Gwarampa axis of Abuja.

“Does peaceful protest mean you destroying national infrastructure, by burning tires on the road. It means they are weakening the strength of the infrastructure. It shouldn’t be tolerated.
