Antoeni:
The Presidency yesterday reiterated that President Muhammadu Buhari will not order the judiciary to release the leader of the Islamic Movement of Nigeria (IMN), Sheikh Ibrahim El-Zakzaky, because he lacks the powers to do so. This is just as it declined comment on whether the government was considering proscription of the sect as done to the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB) in 2017.

Members of the IMN (Shiites) have been staging protests across the country following the continued detention of El-Zakzaky who was arrested with his wife in December 2015 after a violent clash with the Nigerian Army in Zaria, Kaduna State.

Contacted on the latest decision on the group, presidential spokesman, Garba Shehu, said the federal government’s position on the matter hasn’t changed. “There is no latest that I know of. Government’s position hasn’t changed. El-Zakzaky is in the custody of the Kaduna State government. They are trying him in court for several alleged offenses. The Federal Ministry of Justice is not in this, President Buhari has no hand it. “The constitution of Nigeria does not give the president power to stop investigations and trials, he can pardon upon conviction. On the El-Zakzaky issue, this whole thing is in the domain of Kaduna State. If only they know,” he said. Previously, the presidency had said the group was wrong to be in court and resort to violence at the same time in order to get justice for an accused.

Awol1:


This gibberish and balderdash has become lame and stale.

I pray for you today, may you one day be held illegally after a court has ordered your release.

May "fake herdsmen" and bandits make sure no one or crop is left in your entire village.

May your life forever be steered the way Buhari has steered the destiny of Nigeria and Nigerians.

Amen.

Kaduna court refuses El Zakzaky bail


November 7, 2018

Godwin Isenyo

A Kaduna State High Court on Wednesday denied the Leader of the Islamic Movement of Nigeria otherwise known as ‘Shiites’, Sheikh Ibrahim El-Zakzaky, bail.

The court refused the Shiites’ leader bail on the grounds that he did not attach a medical report to his bail application.

The court was presided over by Mr. Justice Gideon Kurada.

The IMN leader and his wife would remain in the custody of the Department of State Security until January 22, 2019.

Security was tight within and outside the court located along the Ibrahim Taiwo road in the metropolis.

Details later.

OrdinaryNigeria:
But has power to remove chief justice Onnoheghen from the south. He the judiciary and executive now becoming the legislator

naptu2:
He is being prosecuted by the Kaduna State Government for murder. He is not being prosecuted by the Federal Government.

His lawyer, Femi Falana has applied for bail twice, but the court rejected the applications because he is being tried for murder.

He has just filed a fresh application for bail 4 days ago, for medical reasons.

Therefore, the appeals should be to Governor El-Rufai and the Kaduna State Government, not to Buhari and the Federal Government.
