The Islamic Movement of Nigeria (IMN) has asked the Federal High Court in Abuja to set aside the order it made on July 26, 2019 proscribing the group.
The court had, upon an ex-parte motion by the office of the Attorney General of the Federation (AGF), also declared the group a terrorist organisation.
The IMN in a motion notice filed on Friday, specifically prayed the court for:
*An order setting aside, discharging and/or vacating the ex parte order of this honorable court made on the 26th day of July, 2019, coram: N.E. Maha, J, in Suit No: FHC/ABJ/CS/876/2019 between: Attorney General of the Federation V. Islamic Movement in Nigeria proscribing the existence and activities of the respondent/applicant (Islamic Movement in Nigeria) in any part of Nigeria under whatever form, either in groups or as individuals by whatever names they are called or referred to.
