Following lack of a breakthrough in the impasse that ensued in the treatment in New Delhi of the leader of the Islamic Movement of Nigeria (IMN) Sheikh Ibraheem El-Zakzaky, it is now confirmed that he is on his way back to Abuja, Nigeria.
In a video message sent through his office, the Sheikh said it was decided that they would be taken to the airport to be flown back to Nigeria. This information was made available to BusinessDay on Thursday by the chairman of the Free Zak- Zaky committee, Abubakar Abdulrahman.
He said that might be the best option in the circumstances, a statement from the official website of the Free Zak Zaky campaign, said on Thursday.
The IMN said on its website that the Nigerian government’s interference and scuttling of the whole process rather than supervision as ordered by the court was the direct cause of the impasse.
“The government never wanted the medical leave in the first place, and did whatever to stop it by all means possible,” organisation said.
