The proscribed Islamic Movement has thanked human rights lawyer Femi Falana and other people of conscience that made possible the departure of Sheikh Ibrahim El-Zakzaky and his wife, Zeenat to India for medical treatment.

In a statement, Abdurrahman Abubakar Yola, Chairman, Free Zakzaky Campaign Committee said:“We wish to use this opportunity to thank all people of conscience, particularly the team of lawyers being led by Femi Falana SAN, some very senior citizens,

diplomats, human rights activists and organizations, journalists and the general public who doggedly stood by us in the campaign for justice for the victims of Zaria genocide. Thank you and God bless.”

“In spite of the attempted efforts at frustrating this emergency medical journey by the Kaduna state government, which tried to unilaterally put conditions to the journey even though it lacked such powers, the journey has gone on without much hitches”, IMN said.

In the meantime, the leader of the Islamic Movement of Nigeria, Shiekh Ibrahim El-Zakzaky has arrived India.
