Reason El-Zakzaky went to India

Amidst all the speculations flying around, the Federal Government has come forward to give the real reason The leader of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria went to India. The FG revealed that his mission in India was to seek asylum in another country.

In a statement on Friday, Grace Gekpe, permanent secretary, ministry of information, said while in India,  IMN leader reached out to international non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and some lawyers.

El-Zakzaky returned to the country on Friday, August 16th without being treated. The IMN leader departed the country on Monday after a high court gave him permission to go for treatment.

However, 24 hours after he landed there, El-Zakzaky raised the alarm that the federal government was frustrating him.

But the permanent secretary said El-Zakzaky’s actions in India “demonstrated malicious intents that were capable of embarrassing the governments of Nigeria and India.”

Gekpe said Zeenat, wife of the IMN leader, accused the security agents who accompanied them on the trip of killing her children.

“With total disrespect and complete loss of decorum for international procedures while in India, he initiated contacts with a team of lawyers led by Ali Zia Kabir Chaudary and Gunjan Singh in that country,” she said.

“He also contacted some Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs), such as the Islamic Human Rights Commission (IHRC) and other Shiite groups.

“His aim was to seek asylum and eventually relocate to another country. It is important to note that if an Indian court had granted El-zakzaky asylum or leave to travel to another country, it would have violated the Nigerian court order that granted him permission to travel for medical treatment.

“However, he used the opportunity of being in India to attempt to internationalise his cause by mobilising the Rights groups.

“Even most unfortunate and rather embarrassing as earlier stated, was his quest to be relocated to a 5-Star hotel to receive visitors instead of being admitted in the hospital as a sick person he claimed to be.

“Having subordinated the quest for medical treatment to other ulterior motives, it became obvious that El-zakzaky was focused on realising some sinister motives thus the decision to return him to Nigeria.”

I love to read, write and TRAVEL!!! The media space is my canvas to paint the truths of our brands and the stories of our Nigerian culture. I love a good book any day because with them I can travel to spaces that are perfect in their frame.
