BREAKING: El-Zakzaky addresses the press, says I’m alive

Admin January 13, 2018

Leader of the Shiite Movement, an Islamic sect with headquarters in Kaduna, El-Zakzaky has addressed the press after he was rumoured to have died two days ago.

The Department of State Services(DSS) had on Friday in Abuja said that the leader of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria, Sheik Ibrahim El-Zakzaky, is not dead, contrary to rumours.

El-Zakzaky was arrested in 2015 after his members had a confrontation with the convoy of the Chief of Army Staff, Lt.-Gen. Tukur Buratai in Zaria, Kaduna State.

53 of his followers were arrested on Wednesday by the Police in Abuja following a violent protest.

Since the arrest and detention of the group’s leader, his followers had organised series of protests in some cities in the country calling for his release.
