Proscribed Islamic Movement of Nigeria, IMN, has said it does not know about any release of its supreme leader, Ibrahim Elzakzaky, from the custody of the Department of State Services, DSS.
Speaking recently, Chairman of Free Zakzaky Campaign Committee of IMN, Sheikh Abdulrahman Abubakar, disclosed that the Muslim sect only knows that the DSS has been served certified true copies of the court ruling.
Abubakar said, “Let me confirm first. The report we received a few minutes ago is that the DSS has acknowledged receipt of the Court ruling, and the security agency are currently in liaison with relevant authorities to find a way how to activate the judicial order fully. I can only tell you that we have not received Sheikh El-Zakzaky yet.
“However, if there is any new development, I will let you. We are still monitoring the situation.”
A Kaduna State High Court, on Sunday, granted the Cleric’s bail application to allow him and his wife to travel to India for medical attention.
The Public Relations Officer of the DSS, Dr Peter Afunanya confirmed the released in a short statement in Abuja yesterday.
It read, “This is to inform the public that the Department of State Services (DSS) has received the order granting Ibrahim EL-ZAKZAKY leave to travel to India for medical treatment.
“Consequently, the Service is liaising with relevant stakeholders to ensure compliance.
Conformity with the order is in line with the Service’s avowed commitment to the Rule of Law inherent in a democracy.”
