SHEIKH ZAKZAKY’S RIGHTS WERE VIOLATED BY THE PAST REGIMES, AND THIS CRIMES MUST BE HALTED.
My zeal for the advancement of fundamental rights compelled me to write this letter to President Tinubu. I'm writing to remind the current administration of His Eminence Sheikh Ibraheem Zakzaky's (H) fundamental rights that were violated by the past regimes.
The present administration could recall the Zaria massacre executed by the Buhari regime through the Nigerian Army in Zaria, Kaduna State, Nigeria, on Saturday, December 12, 2015, against the followers of Sheikh Ibraheem Zakzaky. At least 1,000 civilians were killed, and the bodies of the victims of the massacre were secretly buried by the army in a mass grave in Mando Kaduna, Kaduna State.
The Zaria massacre was a mission to eliminate His Eminence Sheikh Zakzaky and his followers. Please recall, the scenario started with the so-called road blockade, during which the Nigerian Army fabricated lies just to eliminate and wipe off a man who said no to injustice.
Despite the crimes of the Zaria massacre committed, the Buhari regime denies Sheikh Zakzaky and his wife Zeenah their passports, with which they could go abroad for their medical check-up as well as treatment. This is a total violation of their rights to freedom of movement and medication as enshrined in the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, which grants all citizens freedom of movement.
Apparently, Sheikh Zakzaky's critical health condition has not been given the needed attention, and our concern over the deteriorating health of Sheikh Zakzaky is growing, as a person with this critical condition shouldn't be left like that without proper medical attention. It is the height of injustice to deny Sheikh the best medical attention, taking into consideration what has been done to him, his family, and millions of his followers.
Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere
