Shiites: Kaduna High Court Grants El-Zakzaky Permission To Travel For Medical Treatment




On Monday, August 5th, a Kaduna State High Court,  granted the leader of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria, Ibraheem El-Zakzaky leave to go to India for medical treatment.

Police had tightened security in the Kaduna metropolis ahead of the hearing of the bail application of the IMN leader and his wife, Zeenat.

The couple have been in detention since 2015. The couple told the court through the application that they were battling ailments that could not be treated in Nigeria, such as heavy metal poisoning caused by pellets of gunshots in their body.

Their lawyer, Mr. Femi Falana (SAN), argued the application before Justice Darius Khobo on July 29, 2019. The couple’s application was opposed to by the Kaduna State Government through the Director, Public Prosecutions, Ministry of Justice, Mr Diri Bayero.

It is with rude shock it was brought to the ever-busy, too-focused-to-be-distracted attention of Alhaji Abubakar Ibrahim, a picture where in his father, a former two-time Governor of Kogi State and elder statesman, His Excellency Ibrahim Idris was photoshopped along with Governor Yahaya Bello and his Chief of Staff-turned-running mate, Edward Onoja. First of all, Alhaji Abubakar Ibrahim wishes to state in clear terms that such Photoshop stands condemned. It is a joke taken too far in the spirit of campaigns.

Revolution Now: Avoid Leaving Behind A Poisonous Legac, Nigerians Don’t Have The History Of Defending The Actions Of Their Presidents When They Leave Office. ~Sen. Shehu Sanni To Buhari

Senator Shehu Sani reminds Buhari that Sen. Shehu Sani warns Buhari to be careful of the legacy he'll leave behind after office. Success or failure is not really what counts right now. Forget claims of victory over the August 5 #RevolutionNow protest by the Buhari administration. As much as the handling of the protest seem like an achievement to the presidency, what the world sees however, is a government of oppression and rights violation. There has been widespread condemnation both from within and outside the country over attacks on protesters, harassment of journalists, and the illegal detention of Omoyele Sowore, the leading figure of the #RevolutionNow struggle. The Buhari presidency has been charged to respect the constitutional rights of Nigerians instead of acting as though the country is still under military rule.
