Musa also said that El-Zakaky is still being detained, despite the fact that he met his bail condition.

The Islamic Movement of Nigeria (IMN) also known as Shiites, have called on the acting President, Yemi Osinbajo to release their leader, Sheikh Ibrahim El-Zakzaky and his wife.

According to The Guardian, the group also said El-Zakzaky has been granted bail by the Federal High court over a year ago.

The group’s spokesman, Ibrahim Musa said he made the call following Osinbajo comment condemning security operatives for detaining suspects without trial.

Musa also claimed that El-Zakaky is still being detained, despite the fact that he met his bail condition as the stipulated time.

He said “It is unfortunate that Osinbajo, who is a professor of law and Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), could serve in a regime that flouts court orders.He, therefore, urged Malami to demonstrate the country’s respect for the rule of law by commencing the process of their release.”
