The Islamic Movement in Nigeria (IMN), has said that their leader Sheikh Ibrahim El-Zakzaky and wife, Zeenat will not seek asylum in a foreign land as speculated by some individuals.
While reacting to the conditions given by the Kaduna State Government, to the IMN leader before travelling for medical treatment in India, the shiites spokesman in a statement on Thursday said they (El-Zakzaky and wife) cannot abandon their fatherland.
”Our leader won’t flee the country for whatever reason because the IMN leader and his wife are bona fide citizens of Nigeria, and therefore can’t abandon their fatherland to seek political asylum in a foreign land”. said Sheikh Abdurrahman Abubakar, who is also Chairman of the Free El-Zakzaky
“We’ve made arrangements to fly leader and wife to India for medical treatment as pronounced by the Kaduna High Court.”
According to him, relevant officials of the state are already in touch with the surviving son of El-Zakzaky for their travelling arrangements, adding that the fresh conditions given by the Kaduna State government were mere after thought.
