The Federal Government is considering the proscription of the Islamic Movement of Nigeria (IMN), Igbere TV has learnt.
This emerged at a meeting President Muhammadu Buhari had with security operatives in the country.
Igbere TV had earlier reported that President Buhari was meeting with security chiefs at the presidential villa, Abuja.
At the emergency meeting late Monday afternoon, a decision was reached that the IMN be declared an illegal organisation in Nigeria, it was learnt.
The meeting which held at the instance of the president, came on the heels of today’s protest which claimed the lives of many including a Deputy Commissioner of Police, Umar Bellel.
Igbere TV learnt that the proscription, which is likely to come in form of an Executive Order, is expected to be made public between tonight and tomorrow.
