Buhari Placed Travel Bans on El-Zakzaky And His Wife – Shi’ites

The Islamic Movement in Nigeria (IMN), also called Shi’ites movement, has accused the President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration of placing a travel ban on their leader, Ibraheem El-Zakzaky and his wife, Zeenat.

According to IMN, the continued delay to release their passports is an attempt to eliminate them, a year after they were acquitted by the Kaduna High Court.

The IMN called for the release of their travelling documents to enable them seek medical treatment abroad.

The movement made this call in a statement released by Dauda Nalado, on behalf of the Academic Forum of IMN to mark one year of their acquittal.

Nalado claimed that the 2015 Zaria massacre by the Nigerian Army is an attempt to eliminate El-Zakzaky.

The statement read, “We would like to inform the public that despite the favourable judgment of Kaduna State High Court delivered by Justice Gideon Kurada on the 28th of July, 2021, the Buhari regime has refused to return or reissue the travel documents of Sheikh El-Zakzaky and his wife.

“The historic judgement frees the couple without a single condition attached. But reliable information reaching us reveals that tyrant Buhari has placed a travel ban on the freed, notwithstanding their critical health challenges. It is pertinent to let the public know that the freedom of Sheikh El-Zakzaky and his wife is still on the periphery, cruelly delayed and unlawfully denied.

“The public is fully aware of the 2015 Zaria massacre executed from 12th to 14th December. It was an ‘all-out war’ to eliminate the Sheikh and dislodge the Islamic movement under his distinguished tutelage.

“The Nigerian Army under Buhari’s direct command invaded the Husainiyyah along Sokoto Road, the Dambo-film-village-farmyard-cum-martyrs’ graveyard and Sheikh El-Zakzaky’s Gyallesu residence, all in Zaria. They killed his followers over a thousand and set the house ablaze.
