The Nigerian Army has warned members of the Islamic Movement of Nigeria, to desist from making misleading comments, capable of breaching public peace and order.

This is contained in a statement issued by Army spokesman, Sani Usman.

“The Army is aware of clandestine campaign of calumny and misinformation on the incident of Dec.12, 2015 in Zaria.’’

He said that “a group of high ranking members of Islamic Movement of Nigeria (IMN), led by one Dr Abdullahi Danladi, a lecturer at Ahmadu Bello University Zaria,’’ was misrepresenting facts about the incident.

“He was at the university on Wednesday soliciting support and telling lies about the circumstances surrounding the incident and the incident itself.

“He also went further to make false and unfounded allegations of casualty figures and desecration of burial grounds.

“Dr Abdullahi Danladi and like minded individuals should be warned to desist from telling lies and misrepresentation of facts capable of misleading the general public.”
