The House of Representatives has asked the Nigerian government to obey court orders mandating it to release Ibrahim El-Zakzaky, leader of the Islamic Movement of Nigeria , on bail.
According to Premium Times, the house made the call following a motion by Ndudi Elumelu, Minority Leader.IMN members had clashed with the Nigerian Army when the motor cascade of Tukur Buratai, the Cheif of Army Staff was allegedly blocked by the IMN protesters. Since the December 2015 incident, El-Zakzaky and his wife, Zeenah, have been in detention; first without trial for about a year. They were eventually charged with murder for the death of a soldier during the December 2015 incident.
Despite several courts granting him bail, the government has insisted on detaining him, thereby agitating his followers to embark on several protests. The most recent of the clashes was at the National Assembly on Tuesday where the protesters clashed with security operatives while trying to gain access to the parliament.
Seriously, I don’t know the gravity of the security threat posed by Elzazakki’s release than that of Boko Haram
