The academic forum of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria (IMN), has reacted to claims made by Mohammed Yakoob, brother of Ibrahim El-Zakzaky, against the group, saying he is only of being jealous of their leader.
Abdullahi Musa, secretary of the group said described El-Zakzaky’s brother’s as “shameless” for making such comment.
Yakoob had accused his brother of joining the Shi’ia sect because of money, adding that the IMN is a terrorist group and its proscription by the federal government was perfect.
Yakoob also accused the IMN leader of being responsible for his “misfortunes”.
Speaking with theCable, he said, “It is just a shameless statement made by the old man. They are jealous that he has millions of followers,” he said.
