Femi Falana, counsel to the detained leader of the Islamic Movement of Nigeria (IMN), Ibraheem El-Zakzaky on Tuesday said his client has lost one eye and is in need of urgent attention.
He also said El-Zazarky’s wife needed urgent medical attention as the bullets in the body of the detained wife of the Islamic cleric were yet to be removed.
The trial of the IMN leader and his wife Zeenatuddeen held briefly Tuesday at a Kaduna High Court before it was adjourned to March 25.
El-Zakzaky is currently facing trial over allegations of unlawful assembly, disruption of public peace and culpable homicide filed against him by the Kaduna State government.
He was, however, denied bail by a judge, Gideon Kurada during the last sitting on November 7, 2018.
Shortly after the case was adjourned, Falana told journalists that his client and his wife needed urgent medical attention in order to stand their trial.
