President Muhammadu Buhari has been urged by a Group under the aegis of The Advocate for Social Justice, to grant Shiites Islamic Movement Leader, Sheikh Ibraheem El Zakzaky and his Wife, Malama Zeenatuddin Ibrahim access to good health care by giving them their travel documents to travel for proper medical attention.

The Group lamented the plight of the Religious Leader and the psychological and emotional trauma the couple have undergone since their incarceration by the President Buhari administration, stressing that the couple was discharged and acquitted by Kaduna State High Court and, therefore, should be given their traveling documents for the  treatment of various ailments.

In a statement signed by the Group’s Publicity Secretary, Segun Fanimo, it said even President Muhammadu Buhari took time off from duty to attend to his Health situation outside Nigeria, so there is no justification to deny the Shiite leader to go to any country to attend to his worsening Health condition.

The statement reads: “As you are aware, it has been over six months since the leader of the Islamic Movement, Sheikh Ibraheem Zakzaky and his wife were acquitted and discharged by Kaduna State High Court, after spending almost six years in illegal detention.

“Judge Gideon Kurada had, in his ruling, delivered on July 30, 2021, upheld the no case submission by the Counsel to the defendant, Femi Falana, SAN.

“Their medical situation was not good  in addition to their mismanaged life, threatening gunshot injuries, and numerous health complications that require serious intervention; as a result of which their health condition woefully deteriorated from bad to worse.

“Information available indicates that their Health condition is deteriorating as Sheikh could be seen limping, and his wife, Malama Zeenatuddin Ibrahim, confined to a wheelchair.

“We call on President Muhammadu Buhari and the Minister of Justice of the Federation to release the Sheikh and his wife’s  travel documents so that they can seek for medical attention abroad.”

The Group also faulted the All Progressives Congress, APC, led government to have, on several occasions, disrespected Court order and not respect the Rule of Law, calling on President Buhari to rescind his decision and allow the Islamic Leader and his Wife to have access to medical attention abroad.
