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.

The government is in a better position to know who constitutes a threat to national security cos of the information it is privy to. If they release him and he starts fomenting trouble, you folks will be the first to say the government cant secure lives and properties.

Oga keep quiet abeg. If the government thinks that way,it should be clear an open up so the people will know.

"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."

But d courts have d power to order d president to release Elzakzaky and they did so in 2016. D question is, y has d president refused to obey that order?

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.

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.

The court ordered his release when he was being prosecuted by the Federal Government. That was a different case!

The Kaduna State Government set up an investigation panel and it began prosecuting El-Zakzaky after the panel submitted its report. This is a different case!

The judge in this case ordered that he should be detained and there have been 3 bail applications by his lawyers. The judge rejected the previous two. The 3rd was filed on Tuesday.

Therefore, Zakzaky is being held on the orders of the judge in the case that is before the Kaduna High Court!

Keep your respect by not supporting what is wrong.

Was the report by the panel acted on before or after he was granted bail?

Even with all the evidence before you, is this all you can come up with?

Why is it difficult to convict the man if he is guilty?

Don't support tyranny.

What support are you talking about?

I am stating the fact and the fact is that he is being prosecuted by the Kaduna State Government, not the Federal Government.

Are you saying that it is the Federal Government that is prosecuting him?

The fact is that his application for bail has been rejected twice by the Kaduna State High Court and his lawyers applied for bail on medical grounds last Tuesday. Are you saying that this is false??

So why didn't the FG release him at the time the initial court order was given?


Why is the FG spending 3.5m daily to feed zakyzaky when it's the Kaduna state government prosecuting the case?

1) That is a question for the FG to answer. I was among those that felt that it was wrong for the FG to hold on to him after he was given bail, but that case is over. Now he is being prosecuted by the Kaduna State Government.

2) Hamza Al-Mustapha was being prosecuted by the Lagos State Government, yet he was in a federal prison and then at the DMI. This is because, according to law, the prison service, police, DSS, etc are controlled by the Federal Government. There is no state police or state prison in Nigeria. People that are being prosecuted by states in Nigeria are detained at federal facilities.

Kaduna court retains el-Zakzaky, wife in custody, grants them access to medical services


The High Court in Kaduna on Tuesday ordered the Kaduna State Government to avail the leader of Islamic Movement in Nigeria, Ibrahim el-Zakzaky and his wife Zinat, access to medical care.

Justice Gideon Kurada gave the order at the resumed sitting on the case against the duo and two others.

The judge also accepted the withdrawal of charges against the third and fourth defendants, Yahya Yakubu and Sunusi Abdulqadir, who were standing trial alongside the IMN leader.

The prosecution counsel, Dari Bayero, told newsmen after the proceedings that they had withdrawn the charges against the third and fourth defendants.

Bayero added that the court had asked the prosecution to amend its charges to conform with the new development.

Meanwhile, counsel to the defendants, Femi Falana, said that his clients were in dire need of medical attention, as they had not been given adequate medical care since December 14, 2015 when they were detained.

“Malam lost an eye and is in the process of losing the second one because it has developed glaucoma. In the case of the wife, the bullets on her had not been totally extracted,” Falana said.

According to him, doctors would determine where to treat el-Zakzaky and his wife and the type of medical care they would require. He expressed the hope that their medical condition would improve before March 25, the adjourned date.

The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the Kaduna State Government filed eight charges against el-Zakzaky, his wife and two others based in Kano and Katsina.

The IMN leader, his wife, Yahya and Abdulqadir were charged for alleged conspiracy and abetting culpable homicide, among other related offences.

Kurada has adjourned the case till March 25 for hearing on the amended charges.

Court Denies El-Zakzaky, Wife Bail, Orders Them To Remain In DSS Custody

In his ruling on the bail application filed by counsel to El-zakzaky and his wife, Justice Gideon Kurada, the presiding judge, said two accused had not provided sufficient medical evidence to warrant getting a bail.

A Kaduna State High Court has declined to grant bail to the leader of Islamic Movement of Nigeria (IMN), Sheikh Ibrahim El Zakzaky, and his wife.

In his ruling on the bail application filed by counsel to El-zakzaky and his wife, Justice Gideon Kurada, the presiding judge, said two accused had not provided sufficient medical evidence to warrant getting a bail.

Therefore, he ordered them to remain in the custody of the Department of State Services (DSS) throughout the duration of their trial.
