SAN FRANCISCO, September 13, (THEWILL) – The Islamic Movement of Nigeria (IMN), Shi’ites have expressed fear over what it described as the deteriorating health of their leader, Sheikh Ibraheem El-Zakzaky and his wife.

A statement issued by Abdullahi Muhammad Musa on behalf of Academic Forum of the Islamic Movement said, they are concern over the “deteriorating health of their leader Sheikh Ibraheem Zakzaky and his wife Malama Zeenah Ibraheem.”

The statement further said, “a person at his critical condition is not supposed to remain in incarceration. How on earth will he continue to be in prison with bullet shrapnel causing more harm to an already worsening situation? Take for instance the aborted trip to India. From the beginning, after the travel permit was granted by a court, moves were made by the government to frustrate it. If not for Sheikh Zakzaky’s family members who dug in their heels to ensure that the trip actually took place.”

The statement added that the “the Sheikh is at the risk of losing his sight completely. He has been suffering from a number of issues: obstructed blood flow to the heart; nerve root compression; severe visual impairment in his remaining right eye and progressive open-angle glaucoma, progressive macular atrophy and other issues that can inevitably lead to permanent blindness. The extremely high concentration of cadmium in his blood, among other things, is also causing a lot of damages.

“His wife suffers from severe arthritis in her knee joints, which her doctors have said can only be treated with knee replacement surgery since at least three years ago. She also has loose fragments of bullet pieces in her abdominal area which cause a large number of episodes of periodic life-threatening complications with her organs, the wheelchair-bound mother of nine is hypertensive. Even one of the ailments suffered by either of them constitutes a very serious medical emergency, let alone a combination of all of them.”

The IMN said the Sheikh has already suffered two strokes while in detention.
