IMN Raises alarm Over plot To Infect El-Zakzaky With COVID-19

The Islamic Movement in Nigeria (IMN) has called the attention of the public to an alleged plot to infect their embattled leader, Sheikh Ibrahim El-Zakzaky, at the Kaduna Correctional Centre where he is being kept.

The leader of the movement in Kano, Sheikh Dr Sanusi Abdulkadir Koki, made the allegation on Tuesday, during a press conference held at the NUJ Secretariat.

“We would like to use this medium to renew the call for the immediate and unconditional release of our leader Sheikh Ibraheem Zakzaky (H) and his wife who are currently detained at the highly overcrowded Kaduna Correctional Centre, without access to proper medical care, especially considering that the Kaduna State Government has proved incapable of protecting even its highest ranking officials.

Definitely we will hold the authorities responsible lest anything happens to our leader,” Sheikh Koki has warned.

The IMN then called on the general public to compliment the efforts of health experts and comply with instructions and guidance to curb the spread of the novel Corona Virus now taking a toll in the country and the world.
