The Nigerian Army has warned the Islamic Movement of Nigeria, aka Shiites to stop making inciting comments intended to instigate a breakdown of law and order.
A statement issued yesterday by Army spokesman Col. Sani Usman said:
”The Army is aware of clandestine campaign of calumny and misinformation on the incident of Dec.12, 2015 in Zaria.
“A group of high-ranking members of Islamic Movement of Nigeria (IMN), led by one Dr Abdullahi Danladi, a lecturer at the Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria was at the university on Wednesday soliciting for support and telling lies about the circumstances surrounding the incident and the incident itself.
“He also went further to make false and unfounded allegations of casualty figures and desecration of burial grounds.
“Dr Danladi and like-minded individuals should be warned to desist from telling lies and misrepresentation of facts capable of misleading the general public.
“This attitude will not be tolerated where people abuse their privileged position to mislead the public, and create disaffection.
“Nigerians and indeed all well-meaning people are please enjoined to be patient and await the outcome of the various enquiries instituted by various government and non-governmental agencies."
