Shi’ites ask the FG to tell Nigerians the whereabout of El-Zakzaky

Three weeks after his arrest, members of the
Islamic sect, Shi'ites, yesterday, asked the Federal
Government to tell Nigerians the whereabout of
their cleric, Sheikh Ibraheem El-Zakzaky and his
wife.
The President of the Islamic Movement Media
Forum (IMMF), Ibrahim Musa in a statement said:
The condition and whereabouts of the Islamic
Movement's leader Sheikh Ibrahim El-Zakzaky
as well as that of his wife, are still unknown,
three weeks after their arrest and detention
by the security operatives.
"The Islamic Movement as well as the general
public are now seriously anxious. "Where is
Sheikh Zakzaky and why has he been denied
his constitutional rights to an attorney, bail
and visitation?
"If the government is truly interested in
finding a peaceful way out of this crisis the
army initiated and executed, as the
government wants the public to believe, it
should by now have allowed an unimpeded
access to Sheikh Zakzaky.
"First and foremost, his first family members
and leading brothers of the Islamic
Movement and his doctor should have met
him by now, since he was shot by the soldiers
when they attacked his residence.
"We are highly agitated by this seeming
needless incommunicado the Sheikh has been
placed in.
"The Federal Government should tell the
public where Sheikh Zakzaky is, because
rumours of various degrees are flying about
his health.
"We believe it is only when the Sheikh's health
condition is made public by the relevant
authorities that the tension brewing among
the populace will be doused."
