The Islamic Movement of Nigeria (IMN) is a religious organization that promotes the teachings of Shia Islam in Nigeria. Founded in the late 1970s by Ibrahim Zakzaky, the group seeks to establish an Islamic state and advocates for social justice, economic equality, and the rights of Muslims in Nigeria. The IMN has been involved in various social and educational initiatives, including building schools and hospitals. However, it has faced significant government opposition, leading to clashes with security forces and calls for its recognition as a legitimate religious group. The movement continues to be a prominent force in Nigeria's religious landscape.
