Update on the Illegal Trial of Sheikh Ibraheem Zakzaky (01/07/2021)

Due to the 2 months old strike by Judiciary Workers (JUSUN) the illegal trial of the leader of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria, Sheikh Ibraheem Zakzaky and his wife resumed today.

We should remember that the genocidal Buhari regime brutally murdered more than one thousand innocent men, women, children and infants in Zaria in December, 2015. #ZariaGenocide

Today's court session started by the "No Case Submission" presentation of the Legal Counsel of Sheikh Zakzaky, Chief Femi Falana (SAN).

Falana told the court that they said from the beginning that the charges against Sheikh Zakzaky and his wife are fraudulent and trump-up charges with no basis. He called on the court to dismiss the 8 count charges.

Falana postulated that all those that were initially charged with the offense have been discharged and acquitted by two competent courts of all the charges levelled against Sheikh Zakzaky and his wife.

Falana said the Prosecutor Counsel presented 15 witnesses, none of these witnesses made any connection between the alleged crimes and Sheikh Zakzaky. The 8 trump-up charges have no connection to Sheikh Zakzaky. He said these charges are fake, fraudulent and fabricated.

Falana added that the 15 witnesses confessed that they did not set their eyes on Sheikh Zakzaky and his wife during the massacre of the Nigerian army in Zaria. Among them is Brigadier General Sani Usman Kukasheka.

Falana said all those that were accused of killing corporal Yakubu Dankaduna have been discharged and acquitted by two competent courts. He asked "since courts have discharged those that were initially accused how can the court jail those they claimed only assisted them"?

Falana said the charges of road blockade and unlawful assembly can not stand because two courts have already discharged and acquitted all the accused.

Chief Femi Falana (SAN) concluded that they presented the "No Case Submission" report but the Prosecutor Counsel only replied to it yesterday and they only talked on only one charge. He said they only did "Copy and Paste". Falana completed his presentation and submitted the document to the court.

The Legal Counsel representing the wife of Sheikh Zakzaky, Barrister Enegedu, stood up. He said none of the 15 witnesses presented associated his Client with the 8 charges. He added that none of the witnesses even mentioned her name.

The Judge fixed 28th July, 2021 for ruling on the "No Case Submission".

Conclusion

Dear Friends, brothers and sisters 28th July, 2021 is the date of the freedom of Sheikh Zakzaky and his wife. The bloodthirsty Sunni extremists in power in Nigeria have no case against them. Sheikh Zakzaky and his wife are totally innocent. They are the biggest victims of the Saudi-sponsored #ShiaGenocide agenda in Nigeria.

We will NEVER forget,
We will NEVER forgive,
We will overcome!

#FreeZakzaky.
