Court grants Shiites leader, El-Zakzaky bail to travel abroad for medical attention

A Kaduna State High court has granted medical bail to Sheikh Ibraheem El-Zakzaky, Leader of Islamic Movement In Nigeria.

He is to travel to India for treatment.

Police had early tightened security in the Kaduna metropolis ahead of the hearing of the bail application of the IMN leader and his wife, Zeenat.

It was gathered that Ahmadu Bello Way was devoid of activities as El-Zakzaky is expected to appear in court.

Security agents had warned against any protests by anyone or group of persons on account of the Islamic cleric leader’s court appearance.

They also encouraged residents to go about their daily activities peacefully.
