Members of the Islamic Movement
in Nigeria, IMN, from Kano, Jigaea, Niger, Bauchi, Zamfara and Kaduna on
Wednesday in Kaduna staged a protest, demanding for the unconditional release
of Sheikh Zakzaky from detention.
The protesters also demanded for
the release of the remaining members of IMN from prison.
The protesters blocked all the
major highways in Kaduna metropolis chanting “Free Zakzaky, we demand justice,
we are Nigerians.”
Speaking to journalists,
spokesperson for the protesters, Mallam Nuhu Mafara, said they were out in
large number to agitate for the unconditional release of their leader who has
been in detention for 612 days.
He added, “The protest was a
joint action against the illegal detention of our leader, Ibrahim El-zakzaky,
with members from Kano Jigawa, Niger, Bauchi, Zamfara and other northern states
are here today to demand the unconditional release of our leader.
“Today also marks over 250 days
since court of the land set him (El-zakzaky ) free , but the cabals holding
Nigerians ransom have stubbornly refused to obey court orders.”
A press statement signed and
issued to newsmen by Sheikh Abdulhamid Bello, said, “While there are known
figures in Nigeria today agitating for the breakup of the country into pieces,
with some even issueing ultimatum to the government. But here is Sheikh
Zakzaky, who has never committed any treasonable offence languishing in jail.
“We will not rest on our oars
until justice is observed to the most oppressed Shiekh of our time, Sheikh
El-zakzaky.”
