The federal government has finally obtained the necessary court order to proscribe the Islamic Movement Organisation as a terrorist group.

According to reports gartered from Punch newspaper the ex parte application marked FHC/ABJ/CS/876/2019 was filed in the name of the “Attorney-General of the Federation” before the court on Thursday.

Meanwhile, the action of the court and the Federal Government has generated several reactions. Here are the reactions as follows:

When @GEJonathan declared Boko Haram a terror group in 2013, and banned them, the @OfficialAPCNg (then called ACN) rejected the ban, claiming it was "unconstitutional". Today, the same people have banned Shiites. Between Shiites and Boko Haram, who is the terrorist? #RenosDarts pic.twitter.com/rqANdmlRMo

Heard the Federal Government has procured an exparte order proscribing the Islamic Movement of Nigeria, IMN, AKA Shiites.
A wrong way to deal with a group that has not waged an armed struggle against the state.

The Great Oracle wishes this government well.

This is how to do it
You name an organisation (Islamic Movement of Nigeria NOT Shiites) terrorising the people
Then you go to court
Court declares them terrorists
