Abuja (Precise Post) – The leader of the Islamic Movement of Nigeria (IMN) also known as Shi’ites, Sheikh Ibraheem El-Zakzaky, is heading back to Nigeria after a failed medical trip to India.
One of the leaders of the Movement, Abdullahi Musa, who confirmed this to newsmen, said plans to bring the Sheikh back became necessary after the Nigerian government allegedly frustrated his plan to be treated by doctors he trusted in India.
El-Zakzaky had, on Wednesday, said things changed when he got to an Indian hospital, alleging that the Federal Government had changed the plans with the Indian authorities, which he said was a breach of an earlier arrangement made before he left Nigeria with his wife.
He alleged that his condition and that of his wife, Zeenat, were subjected to at the Indian hospital when they arrived Tuesday evening for medical treatment, was worse than that of Nigeria.
Ibrahim Musa, the spokesperson of the IMN, who also confirmed the development on Wednesday, said the group had received an audio message from El-Zakzaky where he narrated the “terrible condition” they had been subjected to in India.
In the full transcript of El-Zakzaky’s message, he said that they were only brought to another detention facility where they did not feel safe, as he only met with a new set of doctors who were brought in to handle their case but whom he had not made any prior arrangement with.
Recall that a High Court in Kaduna granted the IMN leader, El-Zakzaky, and his wife medical leave to be treated in India under the supervision of the Nigerian government.
