There is tension in the country as members of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria, staged a coordinated massive protest, on Sunday, across several cities, demanding for the release of Sheikh Ibraheem Zakzaky from the DSS custody.
Protests were held in Kano, where men and women matched through the major streets of the city, calling on the federal government of Muhammadu Buhari to release Sheikh Zakzaky.
It was the same story in Azare, Bauchi state, where early in the morning members of the Islamic movement matched through the town carrying placards mostly emboldened with ‘FREE ZAKZAKY’
Reports from Bauchi also stated there was a large turnout of people demanding the release of Sheikh Zakzaky from detention.
Similar protest was held yesterday in Kaduna, Sokoto, Gusau and Birnin Kebbi.
The protest were coming on the heels of the recent disclosure by lawyers of the movement that Sheikh Zakzaky had lost an eye and that he was in need of medical attention together with his
wife, Sister Zeenat Ibrahim, who was allegedly with him in the DSS custody.
