The Federal Government has alleged that the leader of the
Islamic Movement in Nigeria, Sheikh Ibrahim El-Zakzaky, has the sole aim of
establishing an Islamic State in Nigeria.
The government also
said the cleric had the full support of the Iranian government to achieve this
aim. The government made these claims in a counter-affidavit it filed against
IMN’s motion challenging the Federal High Court’s order of July 26 proscribing
the group.
Justice Nkeonye Maha
of the Abuja Division of the Federal High Court who issued the proscription
order, on Wednesday, fixed September 11 for the hearing of the motion filed on
behalf of the IMN by Mr. Femi Falana (SAN).
