Designate IMN a terrorist group ahead of it is too late, Coalition cautions Federal Government, AGF.

The Coalition Of Civil Society Organizations For Transparency and Great Governance (COCSOTGG), has called on the Presidency and the Lawyer Basic of the Federation to act fast in designating the Islamic Movement of Nigeria, (IMN) a Terrorists group just before it’s as well late.


The group mentioned if care was not taken to curb the predicament, IMN could snowball into a further disaster in the nation.


COCSOTGG was reacting to the recent clash involving police and some members of the Islamic movement who had gone to the unity fountain to protest the detention of their leader, El Zakzaky more than acts of terrorism.


The national president of COCSOTGG, Patriot Sabo Ode said Nigerians shall no longer accept the complacence of the AGF on the continuous existence of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria.


According to him, it is a direct threat and danger to the peace-loving and law abiding citizens.

He said, "We deserve to reside and survive in our country, absolutely free of molestations or phobia of violence in whatever guise."


Ode said if the AGF fails to initiate the vital action now, the IMN sect, which by the estimation of all appropriate pondering members of the society, is worse than Boko Haram terrorists will re-enact the regime of bomb attacks in Abuja or elsewhere in Nigeria.


His statement reads, "We are neither the least nor the most concerned about the safety of our dear nation, Nigeria. But when we see national security drifting dangerously and fired with impunity by some violent sects, the dire consequences stare us in the face and, we are as a result, prompted to voice out, as time has dictated at the moment.


"We fanatically believe, it is our collective responsibility as individuals of a united federation known as Nigeria to perform towards those factors that perch peace in our hearts and minds, neighborhood or anyplace in the nation, than violence. So, our unadulterated convictions points to the organic understanding that violence solves no issue but peace and dialogue are universal antidotes and, indisputably, the keys which prosper nations around the world. We reiterate that the extent or magnitude of bravado does not post any beneficial results to any of the parties in a rivalry.


"Therefore, COCSOTGG was prompted into speaking to the Nigerian public again, mainly because Nigerians appear to be very complacent with what we think about to be a thorough misbehavior, affront and assault on our dear nation, with the siege on Abuja in numbers, exceeding 10, 000 by Shiites members (IMN). Their leader, Shiek Ibrahim El-Zakzaky has taught them almost everything, except the rule of law or subordination to lawfully constituted authority and government of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (FRN).


"We are not interested in scratching the bruises of old wounds and the damage to Nigeria, wrought on us by the IMN sect in the last 40 years, operating illegally and unregistered in Northern Nigeria. Even their fellow Muslims oppose them vehemently, faulting their style of public worship in lengthy processions, with assorted weapons, as strange, alien and unacceptable.


"We have observed that members of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria, who even though claim some religious activity, but are regrettably, often combat-ready and striking any ideologically unaligned persons with awesome unprovoked violence and murder. And also, both leaders and adherents boldly profess allegiance to the Islamic Republic of Iran (IRI) and affiliation with ISIS, as their mentors and sponsors of this bizarre version of Islamism in Nigeria. Iran is the most notorious terrorists’ nation in the planet, which has "proudly" defied even the United Nations on promotion of terrorism.


"Emboldened by this background, IMN sect members breach laws of the Nigerian federation with impunity and dares everybody, with a confounding recklessness or ruthlessness. From their Spiritual Head Sheik, El-Zakzaky to incensed aficionados, they all hunger to test their intolerable tempestuousness on the Nigerian public anytime, anyplace, so courageously.


"We are not just worried, but concerned that members of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria have consistently and persistently shown disregard to the laws of our country. What is of utmost concern to them is how to clandestinely impose a further version of terrorism, garbed in the fake coats of Islam on the rest of us.


"May we remind Nigerians that Boko Haram terrorism began, to paraphrase, President Muhammadu Buhari on his inaugural day speech to Nigerians, as "small fires, now causing significant fires." None of us is oblivious of the pains and sorrows inflicted on us by Boko Haram terrorists, simply because we permitted it blossomed, unchecked in celebration of some faulty and indiscernible liberties of democracy.
"Displaying their familiar tradition in the week, just ended, IMN sect members once more assailed Abuja in outstanding thousands. Some media reports pegged the number as significantly as ten,000 sect members. Now, it is rare to even have a presidential political rally in Abuja, boasting of this astounding crowd organized by IMN terrorists . How did anybody mobilize terrorists in such astonishing numbers into Abuja for a protest? Something should be amiss someplace and some individuals delight in it.


"It is the similar siege they laid on Zaria City in Kaduna state. It is the similar unlawful siege on Kano, Yobe or other states in the North. No 1 noticed the possible danger at the budding stage. And the Shiites sect expanded to what it is now, extending to Abuja, after Kaduna state Governor, Mallam Nasir el-Rufai outlawed the sect at the state level.
