Islamic Movement of Nigeria
(IMN), also known as Shiites, have alleged fresh plot to eliminate its leader,
Sheikh Ibrahim El-Zakzaky.
The movement lamented that the
Department of State Services (DSS) under the sacked Director General, Lawal
Daura, denied the Shiites’ leader access to his doctors, despite his failing
health.
A leader of the group, Abdullahi
Musa, spoke to Guardian on Tuesday.
He said: “We received information
that the life of El- Zakzaky is in danger, because there are plans by the
government to kill him, under the excuse that he was attacked while being moved
to a new location.
“Last month, the Sheikh was
suffering from toothache, but Daura did not allow his doctor to see and treat
him.
“Even his family and followers
are not allowed to visit, or make phone calls to him and his wife.
“Each time we made a request for
his doctor to see him, we were told that Daura did not allow it.”
He disclosed that the IMN has
protested to Human Rights Commission as part of moves to enforce El-Zakzaky’s
rights.
IMN, however, hailed Daura’s sack
by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo.
The group said the development
had rekindled the hope that their leader would be treated better, and
subsequently released.
