The Kaduna State Police Command PRO, Mansir Hassan has alleged that the members of the Proscribed Islamic Movement of Nigeria (IMN) have destroyed the Kaduna state police armored vehicles and even shot at one of their personnel during the End bad governance protest.
He stated how the IMN members approached from both the front and back of the Government House in a coordinated effort to create disruption. He revealed how they began burning tires on the road, an act that quickly deteriorated into violence. He highlighted that they have received an intelligence reports indicating the movement of the IMN members and that they raised the alarm of their tendency to exploit the planned protest to incite violence.
He said in an interview with Arise TV, ”We have seen a lot of IMN (Islamic Movement of Nigeria) members which we received information about their movement. And you know that they are a proscribed Organisation and since they were proscribed, they were violent. They are always looking for any advantage to create any Violence. They started coming from the back of the Government House and some passed through the front of the government house.
And before you know it, they started burning tires on the road. The IMN members destroyed our armoured vehicles and they shot at one of our personnel. It’s very clear that this is not a peaceful protest. The good people of Kaduna state are not ready to participate in any form of protest. And they have written to us before now that they are not going to protest.”….Seē _ Morē
