Counsel to the Islamic Movement of Nigeria, IMN, has filed a suit at the Federal High Court, Abuja demanding for the immediate and unconditional release of the leader of the movement, Sheikh EL-Zakzaky from the custody of the Army and the Department of State Security Service, DSS.
The legal counsel is asking that the leader of IMN be paid the sum of N2billion as general damages for the illegal violation of his fundamental rights to life, dignity of his person, fair hearing, privacy and private property.
Addressing newsmen in Kaduna, Wednesday, Barrister Justus Okoye said the petition at the High Court was on the fundamental rights action filed on behalf of the leader of the movement, adding that the leader of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria now walks with a limp. He also alleged that the left eye of the leader of the movement was completely damaged.
He added that the left hand of the leader does not function at the moment due to the brutality he has since been subjected to.
