MEDICAL LEAVE: EL-ZAKZAKY ACCOMPANIED BY DSS, WIFE LEAVES FOR INDIA



Following the medical leave granted the acclaimed leader of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria (IMN), Sheikh Ibrahim El-Zakzaky, by a High Court sitting in Kaduna, the Kaduna state capital, he will depart Nigeria today through the Abuja International airport to India.

El-Zakzaky departs with his wife, Zeenat for the Medenta Hospital, New Delhi, India for medical attention as requested by his lawyer.

According to a source close to the alleged Iranian agent, the IMN leader was already in Abuja and waiting to be flown to India along with DSS personnel in a chartered aircraft.

It could be recalled that a Kaduna State High court granted El-Zakzaky and his wife medical leave to undergo treatment at an Indian hospital of their choice.

The court ordered that they be released to go to the hospital and return for the continuation of their trial after their discharge from the hospital.

Some of the conditions included that the Nigeria's  Ministry of Foreign Affairs should confirm the appointments of the defendants/applicants with the Medanta Hospital, India, and undertake all necessary diplomatic arrangements and protocols to ensure compliance with the conditions of the medical leave.

Others are
: “Each of the defendants/applicants shall undertake to return to Nigeria to continue their trial as soon as they are discharged from the hospital, and shall also be responsible for the cost of their travel, treatment and living expenses while on their medical leave.

“Each of the defendants/applicants shall produce two prominent and reliable persons as sureties, one being a first class chief/emir of national repute and the other a prominent person within Kaduna State who shall undertake to produce the defendants whenever they are needed. The sureties must also produce evidence of landed property within Kaduna State.”

It is however, not clear if the IMN leader met the state government’s conditions before his departure.

Former MD NDDC, EKERE DENIES MAKING CONFESSION, BLAMES PURVERYORS OF FAKE NEWS

In the wake of President Muhammadu Buhari’s order directing a Forensic Audit of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) under the direct supervision of the Minister of Niger Delta Affairs Senator Godswill Akpabio, CON, several misguided statements drawing mischievous innuendoes alleging that the Audit is targeted at the immediate past Managing Director of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC)  and Governorship Candidate of the APC in the March 9, 2019 Governorship Elections in Akwa Ibom State, His Excellency Mr. Nsima Ekere, have flooded the media space. Having elevated such puerile narratives to unimaginable proportions, our attention has also been drawn to an ambitious but poorly cobbled and error-ridden report claiming amongst others, that Mr. Nsima Ekere sees the audit exercise as “witch-hunting” and has therefore vowed not to “go down alone”. The said verbose and reckless report is clearly a poor mimicry of Mr. Ekere. This is so because there is a unanimous unive...
