Supporters of Ibrahim El-Zakzaky have vowed to appeal the order of the Federal Court that handed down the proscription of the Islamic movement in Nigeria, as soon as their lawyers are ready, even as they admitted that being a religious minority group, they in the Islamic Movement in Nigeria (IMN) are not registered.
They described the proscription of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria as the plan of a foreign Arab government which works very closely with some dubious and unpatriotic Nigerians, adding that the court’s order sponsored by the Nigerian government is alien to Nigeria which is a country with different religions, cultures, and ethnic groups.
Supporters of El-Zakzaky were reacting to the order issued by a Federal High in Abuja banning the Islamic Movement in Nigeria and designating it as a terrorist group.
El-Zakzaky supporters called on the Nigerian President to uphold the Nigerian constitution even as they vowed to continue their normal religious activities.
Meanwhile, a Kaduna State High Court is due to sit tomorrow, July 29, to decide on the application for medical bail filed by El-Zakzaky’s lawyers. If granted, the Islamic Cleric will travel abroad for medical treatment.
