Breaking: presidency Finally Break-silence To Shiites Leader’s Detention
According to Naija news reports,The Chairman of the Presidential Advisory Committee Against Corruption, Prof. Itse Sagay, has frowned at the detention of Shiites leader.
Zakzaky is being held by the DSS since December 2015 while facing charges for culpable homicide, unlawful assembly, and disruption of public peace.
Recall that the members of the movement had invaded the National Assembly to demand the release of their leader.
The protest saw some security operatives attacked, while several vehicles were damaged and five policemen reportedly injured.
sixty suspects have been reported arrested in connection with the incident.
Sagay in his reaction called on the Federal Government to obey court order and release El-Zakzaky on bail instead of detaining him perpetually without trial.
“I have already expressed this opinion almost a year ago that in the absence of anything that I know, apart from the fact that everybody is aware of, I think the best option is to release him, even if it is on bail.”
“That is better instead of keeping him there and using him as an attraction for these gatherings that are disrupting everywhere and creating a level of anger and emotions that can upset the society and create unnecessary tension.”
“Except if there is something we don’t know, I really don’t see why he is being kept for all these years. That is my sincere view,” he told Daily Independent.
