The medical report of Sheikh
Ibrahim El-Zakzaky, leader of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria (IMN), has leaked
to the media.
SaharaReporters on Monday
published that the July 8, 2019 report shows that the detained Shiites leader
in Nigeria was in need of urgent medical attention.
The Department of State Services,
DSS, ordered test was conducted at the Barau Dikko Teaching Hospital,
Department of Family Medicine on July 12, 2019.
This was before El-Zakzaky’s
lawyer, Femi Falana, filed a bail application urging the court to grant Zakzaky
permission to travel abroad for treatment.
The report for the DSS’ medical
inquiry, signed by Dr Ramatu Abubakar (M.B.B.S, FMCFP, MRH), a Consultant
Family Physician, states that El-Zakzaky, who is 60 years old, is
“hypertensive”.
The report added that he suffers
from “Hemimiparesis with left facial neck paralysis 18 months ago, secondary to
the Ischemic phenomena in the brain.”
It recalled that he was in April
2019 diagnosed by a team of foreign doctors of having, “Ischaemic heart
disease, left ventricular hypertrophy, chronic hypertension, cervical
spondylitis causing nerve compression, right eye severe visual impairment with
progressive open glaucoma, macular atrophy and left eye anophthalmia in
addition to mental toxicity.”
Meanwhile, the Kaduna High Court
on Monday fixed August 5, 2019, to rule on an application for medical attention
filed by El-Zakzaky.
El-Zakzaky and his wife Zeenat
were not in court.
Their lawyer, Femi Falana, SAN,
gave an update on their health and why they should be granted bail.
Court proceedings was held under
heavy security as operatives manned roads and the building and some flash
points.
Earlier, the IMN accused the
Buhari government of obtaining a court order against it to cover up the killing
of its members over the years.
IMN spokesman, Ibrahim Musa said
this in a statement.
Noting that IMN was in
consultation with their lawyers, Musa claimed that Shiites have been victims of
Buhari government-sponsored terror attacks throughout his first term and now.
