Leader of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria (IMN), Sheikh Ibrahim el-Zakzaky, has reportedly discharged himself from the Medenta Hospital and is now on his way back to Abuja, Nigeria. This is as a result of lack of breakthrough in the impasse that ensued in his treatment in India.
He departed New Delhi in a commercial airline at 5pm Nigerian time and prayed that “may that be the best option in the circumstances.”
In a message sent through his office, the Sheikh said he had decided to return to the country.
A top member of Islamic Human Right Commission (IHRC) which negoatiated the medical treatment in India reportedly said that the Nigerian government’s interference and scuttling of the whole process rather than supervision as ordered by the court was the direct cause of the impasse.
