"The Nigerian government’s interference and scuttling of the whole process rather than supervision as ordered by the court is the direct cause of the impasse"... IMN.


Leader of the Islamic Movement of Nigeria, IMN, Sheikh Ibrahim El-Zakzaky is reported to be on his way back to Nigeria from India.

News of his purported return from India where he had gone for medical treatment, following a breakdown in certain arrangements, broke today and many have began to analyse the situation.

A statement from Ibrahim Musa, President of the Media Forum of the Group, disclosed that; "Following lack of breakthrough in the impasse that ensued in the treatment in New Delhi of Sheikh Ibraheem Zakzaky, it is now confirmed that the Sheikh is on his way back to Abuja, Nigeria".

"In a video message sent through his office, the Sheikh said it was decided that they will be taken to the airport to be flown back to Nigeria. He has left Delhi by 17:00 Nigerian time" the statement read.

"He prayed that may that be the best option in the circumstances".

The statement further noted that, "The Nigerian government’s interference and scuttling of the whole process rather than supervision as ordered by the court is the direct cause of the impasse. The government never wanted the medical leave in the first place, and did whatever to stop it by all means possible".

"The Islamic Movement is not happy with the latest development, and we believe any peace loving person in Nigeria feels the same".

The group, in the statement further stated that, "As we await his arrival, we pray to Almighty Allah to continue protecting him from the enemies of peace, who are behind the Zaria genocide of December, 2015".
