Supporters of the Islamic Movement of Nigeria (IMN) in the South West staged a protest on Monday in the Maryland area of Lagos following the reported killing of Iran’s former Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Khameini. The group expressed outrage over the development, accusing the United States and Israel of carrying out the strikes that led to his death. Demonstrators described the attack as an unjust assault on Iran and criticised what they called foreign interference in the affairs of sovereign nations. Speaking during the march, the South West coordinator of IMN, Muftau Zakariya, said the protest was organised to register their opposition to what he described as aggressive policies under President Donald Trump. “I said to you that nothing good is coming from the US intervention. It is only interested in their economic gains and not minding the consequences thereafter,” Zakariya said. The protest in Lagos followed similar demonstrations a day earlier across several northern cities, where thousands of IMN members gathered to condemn Khameini’s killing. Participants waved Palestinian flags and chanted slogans including “death to America and Israel” and “Allahu Akbar” (“God is Great”). Beyond Nigeria, protests have also been reported in Iran and India as reactions continue to trail the late cleric’s death.
