Shiites: Non-IMN Muslims free to conduct procession – IGP
The Nigeria police has announced that non-Muslims are not banned from conducting Ashura procession in Abuja and other states.
However, the force in a statement on its official Twitter page warned that only non-IMN Muslims are allowed to have procession in Abuja or anywhere else in the country. The statement read: “The IGP has directed all CPs and their respective supervisory AIG of Police in Commands and Zones to give full effect to the above clarifications and ensure that non-IMN Muslims are not in any way restricted from exercising their freedom of religion, worship and peaceful assembly.
“Following the deluge of enquiries concerning the ban on procession on the proscribed Islamic Movement in Nigeria , it has become absolutely imperative to clarify that the ban on processions is applicable to members of the proscribed Islamic Movement in Nigeria only.
