Federal Government and the Islamic Movement in Nigeria (IMN) is still on the moments of back and forth as officials of the Department of State Services (DSS) took the leader of the sect, Sheikh Ibraheem El-Zakzaky, and his wife, Zeenat, back into custody.
According to the Nation, the couple had returned home earlier in the day from India after complaining that the medical facility made available to them in New Delhi was inferior to the one at the Kirikiri prison in Nigeria.
His Shiite followers in a protest said “the way the security agents whisked him away upon arrival without allowing the multitude of journalists that were waiting for him for hours to have a chat with him.”
They claimed that government was not keen on allowing El-Zakzaky receive medical treatment abroad in the first instance.
They vowed to continue their “struggle to ensure that our leader gets the appropriate medical treatment he deserves.” But the federal government maintained that El-Zakzaky’s aim was to “seek asylum and eventually relocate to another country.
