The Islamic Movement of Nigeria otherwise known as Shiite is planning to hold a joint African general meeting soon, Punch reports.
This was confirmed by Sokoto State Commissioner of Police, Muhammad Abdulkadir, who said that “intelligence reaching the command indicates that a religious sect (Shiites) is planning to organise a Joint African General Meeting in an undisclosed location in Sokoto metropolis.”
He said, “Members of the public who are already aware are apprehensive of the potential danger this meeting, if allowed to hold, will pose.”
The CP said the command had advised the leaders of the sect against any act that might cause the breach of peace in the state.
Abdulkadir, however, stated that in collaboration with other security agencies, the command would commence stop-and-search operations at various locations in the state.
He called on the general public to cooperate with the stop-and-search teams in order to succeed in the duty of preventing the breach of peace.
Recall that the Sokoto State government recently push for a national ban to be placed on the sect.
