      abstract = {Protest, a framework employed by rights and advocacy groups to demand social change and transition from existing societal norms, has been employed across times by the Gandhi-led salt march in 1930, the Selma march against racial discrimination in the US in 1967, the Arab Spring and UK Uncut of 2010, and the #EndSARS protest of 2020 against government?s unfavorable policy, marginalization, and worsening economic situations. In the same light, the IMN protest in FCT ensued due to the government?s suppression and the detention of El-Zakzaki despite the court's acquittal of all count charges. In view of the incessant protests and the government?s inability to proffer lasting solution to the crisis, the study employed the descriptive method to source relevant information from secondary sources of journals, newspapers, textbooks, and periodicals to infer the factors influencing IMN protest and its influence on peace in FCT, Nigeria. The study found that the IMN crisis which is deeply rooted in politics, transcends Nigeria as the ripple effect of the intensification of the foreign policies of Iran and Saudi Arabia resulted in the Nigerian government's undue suppression of the penetration of IMN in the country. In addition to marginalization and protest nexus, poverty and ignorance proximately influence the penetration and mobilization of IMN members for protest, which impedes peace in FCT, Nigeria. The study concluded that IMN protest, which impedes peace in FCT, results from politics, marginalization, and undue suppression by the dominant group, as evident in the Sampang region of Indonesia and the Middle East. The study recommends that the consociational model of democracy, which advocates for fair representation of subgroups, be applied to enhance peace building in the IMN crisis, as evident in the post-Apartheid regime in South Africa and the Rwandan Genocide.},
