In a letter he wrote to the Nigerian State Security Service demanding
for the immediate release of Shiite leader, Ibrahim El-Zakzaky,
humanrights lawyer, Femi Falana revealed that the Muslim cleric lost his
left eye during the Shiite clash with the Nigerian Army in December
last year. Falana in the letter, said the doctors are currently battling
to save his right eye.
The letter in part reads
“As a result of the brutal attack, Sheikh Zakzaky lost his left eye
while doctors are currently battling to save the right one. To compound
the physical pain and mental anguish that our clients were subjected to
in the circumstance, the Nigeria Police Force and State Security Service
have held them incommunicado for the past three and half months".
El-Zazakky, his wife and some of his members have been in detention
since December 2015 after a clash with the Nigerian Army in Zaria,
Kaduna state.
