Here are the photos of Shiite leader Sheikh Ibrahim Zakzaky as he regains freedom after 6yrs in detention.
Ibrahim El-Zakzaky and his wife, Zeenat, were released from Kaduna Correctional Centre after they were acquitted and discharged by the Kaduna State High Court on Wednesday.
Delivering the judgement, Justice Gabriel Kolawole rejected the submission of the counsel to the State Security Service, Tijjani Gazali, that Mr El-Zakzaky was kept in the protective custody of the SSS.
He said the decision to hold the Islamic cleric and his wife for their safety was not based on law.
“I have not been shown any incident report or any complaint lodged by residents around the neighbourhood that the applicant has become a nuisance to his neighbourhood,” said the judge.
He then discharged and acquitted him and his wife. Justice Kolawole also asks the Federal Government to build another house in any place of his choice to replace his destroyed house at Gyellesu in Zaria.
Instead, El-Zakzaky was to face another fresh charges by the Kaduna State government and he was taken back to Correctional Centre to face trial .
Undaunted, Elzazkzaky filed another motion of no-case submission before a Kaduna High Court.
In his 8 hours ruling on the no-case submission, the Presiding Judge, Justice Gideon Kurada upheld the submission of the counsel to El-Zakzaky that the case lacks merit. He, therefore, discharged and acquitted the accused persons.
