Doctors at the Madenta Hospital are refusing to treat Leader of the Islamic Movement of Nigeria, IMN, otherwise known as Shiites, El-Zakzaky unless he agrees to sign a paper designating him as a criminal.
The Secretary General, Academic Forum of the IMN, Abdullahi Musa, told reporters in Abuja, on Wednesday that the security agencies that accompanied El-Zakzaky to India, had just given him two hours to accept to be treated as a criminal.
The group, which maintained that the cleric and his wife, Zeenat, who are currently facing legal battle since their arrest and detention after the clashes between IMN and soldiers, in December 2015 in Kaduna, where more than 300 of members on procession were killed for allegedly blocking the convoy of the Chief of Army Staff, are no longer safe at the Indian hospital.
The group said information reaching them was that Sheikh Zakzaky was given two hours ultimatum by the Nigerian government to sign and agree that he was a criminal before any doctor would attend to him.
Musa further alleged that Nigerian government through the security operatives that escorted them to India acted in contrary to what was earlier stated in Kaduna High Court by devising new types of plots to frustrate his doctors from offering emergency treatment to them.
