Members of the Islamic movement in Nigeria (IMN) yesterday embarked
on a peaceful demonstration in Kaduna metropolis demanding the
unconditional release of their leader Sheikh Ibraheem El-Zakzaky who has
been detained for the past 50 days by security agents.
The
protesters who were mostly students under the auspices of the academic
forum of the movement said it is pathetic that contrary to the Nigerian
constitution that said nobody can be detained more than 24 hours without
being charged to the court, Sheik El-Zakzaky had been in custody for
over fifty days.
The leader of the protest, Mikaeel Yusuf said
following the alleged military assault on the residence of El-Zakzaky
and two of their centers, 730 of their members have been missing while
220 are in Kaduna prison amongst them women and students.
