The Kaduna State Police Command has placed a ban on all forms of unlawful gatherings by the Islamic Movement of Nigeria (IMN).
This includes a prohibition on their planned Ashura procession.
The command, through its spokesperson Mansir Hassan, emphasized that the police will enforce this ban rigorously.
They warned that any individual or group found violating this directive will face the full consequences of the law.
The statement read;
“The command has banned every manner of illegal protest in the state.
“This is coming on the heels of a received intelligence indicating that the proscribed Islamic Movement of Nigeria also known as Shi’ite are planning a procession to mark the 2024 Islamic Ashura day ceremony.
“It is an undeniable fact that the said ritual practice has in the recent past been characterised by unimaginable violence leading to the destruction of properties, injuries to persons and even loss of lives.
“It is against this backdrop that the Police command is warning the said sect members, who were since proscribed by law, to drop such a procession idea.”
