The Progressive Yoruba Youth Council has cautioned members of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria, IMN, against taking their protest to Lagos State and the entire South West region.
The youth group strongly warned members of IMN to desist from its plan of protesting in the region.
Addressing newsmen on Thursday in Lagos, Dayo Jacob, National Chairman of the group, fingered some politicians as faces behind the activities of the sect.
The group warned the IMN and their sponsors to desist from their “nefarious activities and explore peaceful means of airing their grievances if they are indeed genuine.”
“That the IMN and its sponsors should stay away from southwest Nigeria and other parts of Oduduwa kingdom in the interest of peace and tranquillity. That the IMN should in clear terms desist from extending their activities to Lagos State, the commercial nerve centre of the country as such moves would be resisted vehemently. That the interest of the country should be taken into consideration due to the heterogeneous nature of the country at the risk of insulting the sensibilities of the generality of Nigerians.,” the group noted
