Trial Of El-Zakzaky, Wife Resumes In Kaduna
A Kaduna State High Court on Monday resumed the trial of the embattled leader of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria , Ibrahim El- Zakzaky, and his wife, Zeenat.
Their arraignment today comes about three weeks after the last hearing of the suit against them on February 6, after the case was adjourned for eight months. The judge also ordered that the defendants should be allowed to be seen by their private doctors at the Nigerian Correctional Service facility in the Kaduna State capital, with close supervision of the facility management.Ahead of the couple’s arrival in court, security was been beefed up in the Kaduna metropolis in what seems to have become a tradition.
The IMN leader and his wife have been in detention since their arrest in December 2015 following a bloody clash between the Shiites and soldiers in Zaria, Kaduna State.
