The 65-year-old leader of Shiite Islamic sect, Sheik Ibrahim Zakzaky and his wife have been denied bail by the Kaduna High Court.

The Court sitting on Wednesday denied the bail application filed by counsel to the leader of Islamic Movement in Nigeria.

The Presiding Judge, Justice Gideon Kurada, said in his ruling that the accused persons have not shown any substantial medical evidence to grant them bail in their written application.

The judge however ordered that the two accused persons should remain in the custody of the Department of State Services (DSS) throughout the period of their trial.

The matter has been adjourned to January 22, 2019, for accelerated hearing.

The IMN leader is facing trial for alleged murder, culpable homicide, unlawful assembly, and disruption of public peace, among other charges.

El-Zakzaky and his wife were first arraigned on May 15, 2018, following their arrest in Zaria, in December 2015.

When the matter came up for hearing on October 4, 2018, the presiding judge, Justice Gideon Kurada adjourned his ruling on their bail application to November 7, 2018 due to the absence of the IMN leader and his wife in court as a result of the visit of Vice President Yemi Osinbajo to the state on that date

The government is indirectly helping to groom a new terrorist organization.

In order to continue to keep Sheik Ibrahim Zakzaky in detention, the fraudulent and lawless administration now brought him from Federal High Court to Kaduna High Court.


Previous judgement by a Federal High Court:

Delivering the judgement, Justice Gabriel Kolawole, rejected the submission of the counsel to the State Security Service, Tijjani Gazali, that Mr. El-Zakzaky was kept in protective custody of the SSS.

He said the decision to hold the Islamic cleric and his wife for their safety was not based on law.

“I have not been shown any incident report or any complaint lodged by residents around the neighbourhood that the applicant has become a nuisance to his neigbourhood,” said the judge.

He said the decision of the government to hold the applicant for so long amounted to great danger.

Did you actually think he would be granted bail...hehehe...not while the lifeless one is still in power...he'd rather die than see it happen...very vindictive somebody

if despite court ruling on his bail & buhari still fails to release him before may 2019,please he should just hold on.A saviour who will set all political prisoners free is on the way.just 6 months to go.this is the country we find ourselves under the leadership of a tyrant.Nigeria Will Be Great Again!

Is it by force to protect someone? Please you people should release this man and his wife for the sake of peace.

HE HAS BEEN DENIED BAIL AGAIN..

lalasticlala, mynd44 come and see

denied again

Na wa ooo

Okay

Trust Gov at your own perils that man has been killed

New Boko Haram in the making but with Iran backing, na finishing we dey.

Lord

Buhari no dey hear word.

Boko Haram emergence hasn't taught Buhari a lesson. Terrorists in the making

Buhari can not win the next election but he can rig himself in, but then he will not have a country to rule.

Buhari the unrepentant, iliterate monster who has no respect for the rule of law will bring about the final dissolution of this fraud called Nigeria.

If I were a Shiite Muslim, strapping myself with bombs and detonating it in a gathering where Buhari and his family are will be an ultimate way of pleasing Allah.

There's something I'm yet to understand. What is actually the offense of this man Zak Zakky?

Who did he murdered? Cos we haven't really heard of any violence from this people untill Buhari came to power

65 year old? and the man looks like 75 year old person

The dullard is not a good thinker especially with his vindictive mind,another good own goal towards his home coming to daura 2019.

Na so

This is Nigeria

Isn't there a top shiite that can defend this man?
Yeah his followers are lawless illiterates who think they can throw stones on the military and go away with it. But his people have suffered more casualty than the army. Let him go free.
It's obvious, the Shiite and Sunni animosity is the main contention behind this man's continual detention.

We are yet to handle the Boko Haram issue and the govt is trying to give these people reasons to pick up arms. Nigeria has always been a wild wild west.
