The statement read: “At this point, SHAIK ZAKZAKY’S LIFE GROUP OF NIGERIA, after a carefully and sensitive analysis, has realised that, Buhari’s government is deliberately frustrating the life of Shaik Zakzaky in custody, with its worrisome hidden agenda; if not, why not release him to go for a proper medical examination; why not take him to the court of law; why are you violating the rule of law?”

“At the expiration of the deadline and without the release of Zakzaky, members of the movement including men, women and children, would storm Abuja, Nigeria’s capital, for a peaceful and well organized “SIT AROUND”, and we would not leave until our leader, Zakzaky is unconditionally released.”
The group believes that there is a deliberate intent by the Government not to release Zakzaky.
