Islamic Movement in Nigeria (IMN), popularly called 'Shi'ites' has said it uncovered a plot by the Nigerian government to stage jailbreaks in some parts of the country and blame the attacks on the movement. IMN alleged that the planned attacks are targeted at correctional centres and facilities in Adamawa, Yobe, Kaduna, Sokoto, and Katsina states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT). The movement said from all indications, the plot is a calculated attempt by President Muhammadu Buhari’s government to continue its attack on its leader, Sheikh Ibraheem El-Zakzaky.
