Court Postpones Ruling on El-Zakzaky’s Bail Application

The Kaduna State High Court has failed to rule on the bail application filed by the leader of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria, Ibrahim El-Zakzaky and his wife, Zeenat after it adjourned the case to August 5, 2019.

Justice Darius Khobo adjourned the trial after listening to both defence and persecution counsels.

Femi Falana, Counsel to El-Zakzaky and his wife, had filed the application on behalf of his clients on July 18 wherein he prayed the court to allow his client to seek medical attention abroad. He had argued that the health condition of his clients was getting worse and needed urgent medical attention abroad.

But the prosecuting counsel, Debris Bayero opposed the bail application, arguing that the Shiites’ leader should seek local medical attention.
