BREAKING: EL ZAKZAKY ON HIS WAY BACK TO NIGERIA AFTER DISCHARGING SELF FROM HOSPITAL IN INDIA

Read Time:1 Minute, 25 Second

Barely 96 hours after landing in New Delhi for medical treatment, leader of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria, Sheikh Ibraheem el-Zakzaky, has reportedly discharged himself from the Medenta Hospital and is now on his way back to Nigeria.

The President, Media Forum of IMN, Ibrahim Musa, said that El-Zakzaky and his wife, Zeenat, who were airborne as of the time of speaking with The Punch on Thursday evening, left New Delhi around 5:00 p.m. Nigerian time, heading back to the country.

Musa, in a statement, blamed the Federal Government for scuttling the IMN leaderā€™s planned treatment.

Musa said, ā€œFollowing lack of a 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.

ā€œIn 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.

ā€œHe has left Delhi by 17:00 Nigerian time.ā€ He prayed that ā€œmay that be the best option in the circumstances.ā€

The group added, ā€œThe Nigerian governmentā€™s interference and scuttling of the whole process rather than supervision as ordered by the court is the direct cause of the impasse.

ā€œThe government never wanted the medical leave in the first place, and did whatever to stop it by all means possible,ā€ Musa alleged.

The FG had earlier refuted El-Zakzakyā€™s allegations, stating that he attempted to violate the conditions of his treatment by making unreasonable demands, including insisting on lodging in a five-star hotel in New Delhi with free access to ā€œall manner of visitors.ā€
