EL ZAKZAKY: Fani-Kayode commends Buhari, charges him to release Dasuki, Sowore
Ever vocal former Aviation Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode, has commended President Muhmmadu Buhari for the permission granted leader of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria, IMN, Ibrahim El-Zakzaky and his wife, Zeenat to travel abroad for medical care.
Fani-Kayode who reacted to the development via his Twitter page, also used the medium to urge President Buhari to release Sambo Dasuki and Omoyele Sowore.
He wrote on Twitter; “I commend @MBuhari for honoring the court order and releasing Sheik El ZakZaky.

“I urge him to release Col. Sambo Dasuki,who has been in solitary confinement for the last 3 years despite numerous court orders to release him, @YeleSowore, @dadiyata and all other political prisoners.”
The appeal of the former minister comes after the Department of State Services assured that it will comply and grant El-Zakzaky a leave to get medical treatment following a court order.
A Kaduna High Court had earlier on Monday ordered the President Buhari-led Federal Government to release El Zakzaky and his wife, Zeenat, so that they could seek medical treatment in India.
