How Nigeria, US connived to kill El-Zakzaky

The Islamic Movement in Nigeria has accused the Nigerian government and the United States of America of plotting to kill its leader Ibrahim El-Zakzaky in India.

South West Coordinator of the group, Muftau Zakariyah confirmed this in an interview with correspondent Wemimo Adewuni.

“We understand that the Nigerian Government in connivance with American Government are interested in giving him doctors that will kill him instead of doctors that will treat him,” Zakariyah told our correspondent.

El-Zakzaky and his wife have been in detention, first without trial for about a year. He was eventually charged for murder after clashes between his group and the Nigerian Army resulted in the death of a soldier in December 2015.

The Shittes leader was granted medical leave and allowed to travelled to India for treatment a few days ago following his deteriorating health conditions while in detention.

However, on Thursday, he surprisingly decided to return to Nigeria.
