Following a demand by Counsel to Sheikh Zakzaky, Chief Femi Falana, SAN on the 22 January, 2019 to the Kaduna High Court 4 to allow medical doctors to see his client, a team of medical practitioners led by Chairman of Islamic Human Rights Commission (IHRC), Mr. Masoud Shadjareh
has visited the ailing leader and his wife in a DSS detention facility on Thursday the 25th of April 2019..
Sheikh Zakzaky and Malama Zeenah have been under illegal detention since December, 2015 amidst gun injuries. This initial investigation has highlighted the need for urgent investigations into their health which the team hopes will be carried out in next couple of days.. IHRC acknowledges the authorities change of position in making this possible and hopes this heralds a full and just resolution of the situation.
