Sheikh Ibraheem El-Zakzaky has been released to travel abroad for medical treatment. He was released last night Justice Darius Khobo of Kaduna State High Court on Monday granted the Shiites’ leader and his wife Zeenat leave to travel to India for medical attention.
The DSS action was contained in a statement by its Public Relations Officer (PRO), Dr. Peter Afunanya. The statement reads: “This is to inform the public that the Department of State Services (DSS) has received the order granting Ibrahim El-Zakzaky leave to travel to India for medical treatment.
“Consequently, the Service is liaising with relevant stakeholders to ensure compliance. Conformity with the order is in line with the Service’s avowed commitment to the Rule of Law inherent in a democracy.” A top security source added: “All the conditions set by a High Court in Kaduna will be complied with. The top most condition is that he must return to Nigeria for trial.”
In granting the leave, the court said that El Zakzaky and his wife are to go on medical leave under the supervision or the state. The IMN swiftly reacted to the ruling, saying, it was a favourable judgment, which is long overdue.
