The Nigeria Police Force has disclosed that the ban on
procession across the country only applies to members of the
Islamic Movement in Nigeria (IMN).
The Police also noted that other Muslims across the country are
at liberty to carry out the annual “Ashura” procession.
This is contained in a statement in Abuja on Tuesday by the
Force Spokesman, Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) Frank Mba to
clarify Police stance on the ban.
The statement reads: “Following the deluge of enquiries
concerning the ban on procession on the proscribed Islamic Movement
in Nigeria (IMN), it has become absolutely imperative to clarify
that the ban on processions is applicable to members of the
proscribed Islamic Movement in Nigeria only.
“Against this backdrop, Muslims marking the commemoration of
“Ashura” throughout the country along with other Muslims across the
world are free to carry out the annual “Ashura” procession.
“They should however do so within the confines of the law and
guard against infiltration by unscrupulous elements who may want to
take advantage of the event to cause disruption of public peace,
order and security.”
The Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Mohammed Adamu, has also
directed all Commissioners of Police and their respective
supervisory Assistant Inspectors-General of Police in Commands and
Zones to ensure that non-IMN Muslims are not in any way restricted
from exercising their freedom of religion, worship and peaceful
assembly.
The IGP also urged members of the public to be calm and go about
their lawful businesses as the Force is doing all within its
capacity to ensure there is no breach of the peace, law and order
anywhere in the country.
