Attempt by members of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria (IMN) to challenge their proscription by the Federal Government, has suffered a setback, as a Federal High Court, sitting in Abuja, adjourned the suit to September 11, 2019.
Justice Nkeonye Maha on Wednesday adjourned the case after hearing the two counsels.
The adjournment is predicated on an application for extension of time filed by Mr Ayo Apata (SAN), the Counsel to the Department of State Services.
The court had, upon an ex-parte motion by the office of the Attorney General of the Federation (AGF), declared the group a terrorist organisation
Department of Security Service (DSS) is asking the court for more time to enable them regularise a motion filed in respect of the suit.
Counsel to the IMN, Mr Femi Falana (SAN), did not oppose the request either.
Members of IMN had earlier approached the court challenging the Federal Government’s decision proscribing the movement on the ground that it is a terrorist organisation.
