Following the Court judgement discharging and acquitting Sheikh Ibraheem El-Zakyzaky, Kaduna State government has returned to Court with fresh charges against the leader of Islamic Movement of Nigeria (IMN) and his wife, Zeenah El-Zakyzaky.
Kaduna State Director of Public Prosecution (DPP), Mr. Dari Bayero maintained that the State will challenge the Kaduna State High Court judgement, while he also revealed that fresh charges that border on terrorism and treasonable felony will also be added.
Dari said Kaduna State government disagreed with the decision of the Judge, hence, they would appeal, stressing that El-Zakyzaky’s case as delivered were not in consonance with the facts on ground.
The State Prosecutor said, El-Zakyzaky would be rearrested once the Court order is issued for him to answer fresh charges.
He maintained that actions of the Shiite leader which Kaduna State government is prosecuting him afresh predated 2015.
Meanwhile, El-Zakyzaky and his wife reportedly moved to Abuja for medical treatment.
According to the source,” they have been flown to Abuja so as to get medical attention. They could not leave on Wednesday because they reached the Kaduna International airport late, the control tower had closed for the day. They were flown to Abuja on Thursday morning. Abuja is safer for our leader.”
