We don’t know the whereabouts of Sheikh Zakzaky ----IMN

(Nigeria) The Islamic Movement in Nigeria, IMN, has expressed concerns over the whereabouts
of its leader, Sheikh Ibraheem Zakzaky, claiming that he was last seen or heard
from on Tuesday, soon after he was
arraigned before a Kaduna State High Court.
In a statement by president of the Media Forum of the Islamic
Movement, Ibrahim Musa, the Movement said the open mobile phone lines with
which close family members of the Sheikh hitherto used to contact him were
switched off since the early hours of Tuesday morning when he was forcibly
taken to court from his previous detention site in Abuja.
“As of this dawn, I will like to inform all those who may be
concerned that I have lost all contact with my parents,” his only surviving
son, Muhammad said in a social media post today.
“All the lines of the family members staying with the Sheikh
while in detention in Abuja have been switched off all day as well.
“Followers of the Sheikh are deeply concerned with this
latest development because those detaining him have never hidden their
intention to see to his demise, had it not been for Allah's protection. This
was evident right from the December 2015 Zaria massacre by the Army.
"We therefore, call on the DSS in whose hand the court
entrusted the Sheikh on Tuesday, to as a matter of urgency inform at least his
close family members of the whereabouts of our leader, Sheikh Zakzaky.
“The enemies of Sheikh Zakzaky and the Islamic Movement
should be reminded that the world has
seen when he was brought to court and when he was taken from the court.
Therefore the federal government should be held responsible should anything
untoward happen to our leader,” the statement added.
