Members of the proscribed Islamic
Movement of Nigeria, IMN, better known as Shi’ites have said they are not aware
their leader, Ibraheem El-Zakzaky has been freed from the custody of the
Department of State Services, DSS.
Reports of El-Zakzaky’s release
emerged on the internet Monday night sequel to an order of the Kaduna state
High Court directing he and his wife, Zeenah be allowed to access medical
treatment in India.
However, speaking in Abuja, a frontline member of IMN, said the Muslim sect can
only confirm that the DSS had duly received and acknowledged receipt of true
copies of the judicial order on El-Zakzaky’s treatment.
When asked for reactions to the
news of El-Zakzaky’s release, the source said: “We are not aware he has been
finally freed. The last we heard a few moments ago is that the DSS has received
certified true copies of today’s court ruling. Sheikh El-Zakzaky has not been
released yet as far as we know.”
El-Zakzaky and his wife has been
in federal government’s security custody since December 2015 following
confrontations between members of IMN and the Nigeria Army in Zaria Kaduna
state.
The melee left no fewer than 300
persons, including three biological sons of El-Zakzaky dead.
