Leader of the proscribed Islamic Movement in Nigeria (IMN), Ibraheem El-Zakzaky, is back in Nigeria
The IMN leader was in New Delhi, India to receive medical treatment.
In a video said to have been recorded before the cleric boarded his return flight to Nigeria, El-Zakzaky said he was informed earlier that he and his wife would have to leave the Asian country.
“You have already heard the messages regarding the ultimatum we were given of either we agree to be treated here on their terms or return home,” he said in Hausa.
“So a bit earlier they came here as inform us that they have decided to take us back to Nigeria. And now it is almost 10pm (Indian time) and they have said they will come at 11:30 to take us to the airport in order to take us back to Abuja, this is what they have decided.
"And they have sent government representatives here to inform us of that… In sha Allah we will embark on the journey back home. We hope this will be for the best.”
Recall that El-Zakzaky had on Wednesday, in a viral audio message, requested to be returned to a Nigerian hospital, claiming that the condition at the Indian hospital he was taken to was worse than that of Nigeria.
He also accused the Nigerian government of frustrating his medical treatment in India, alleging that the management of Medanta Hospital had been threatened not to admit him for treatment.
