The Islamic Movement in Nigeria (IMN), popularly known as Shi'ites, has demanded the immediate release of an Islamic cleric, Sheikh Abduljabbar Kabara, who was sentenced to death by hanging by the Upper Sharia Court in Kano over alleged blasphemy. The group described the charges filed against the cleric and the judgement delivered as baseless and politically motivated.
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.
Ten-year-old Halima Aliyu from Sokoto State knows what it’s like to be a street hawker. For some years, she moved from place to place selling food, while her peers were in school.
The Nigeria Police Force has reportedly released three corpses of members of the Islamic Movement of Nigeria (IMN), otherwise called Shiites. The deceased persons were allegedly shot by the police in 2019 during a protest to demand the release of Ibraheem El-Zakzaky, leader of IMN. The movement had filed a committal proceeding before an Abuja Federal High Court against the Inspector-General of Police, Usman Alkali, and the Chief Medical Director of the National Hospital, Abuja, for disobeying the order of the court.
