The Nigeria Police is currently beefing up security in major flash points in Abuja and kaduna state ahead of today’s ruling of the bail application filed by the embattled leader of the Islamic Movement of Nigeria, Ibraheem El-Zakzaky.
TeleVision Nigerian gathered that Justice Darius Khobo of the Kaduna State High Court will rule on the application filed by El-Zakzaky, who is seeking permission to travel abroad for medical treatment.
The bail hearing comes barely three days after a Federal High Court in Abuja granted the Federal Government the power to proscribe the Shi’ites’ organisation.
Spokesman for the Kaduna State Police Command DSP Yakubu Sabo, assured the people of the state that adequate security had been put in place for hitch-free court appearance.
The spokesman advised the public to remain calm and not to be apprehensive where they observe unusual number of security personnel in town.
“As part of the strategy put in place for a smooth process of the court trial, there will be traffic diversion in the following areas: Independence way, Bida Road, All roads leading to Ibrahim Taiwo Road,” he said.
The Shi’ites have in recent days conducted violent protests in Abuja where scores have been killed including a police officer and a Youth Corps member, Precious Owolabi.
