Leader of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria, Sheikh Ibrahim El-Zakzaky and his wife, Zeenat, are set to travel to India for medical treatment.

They arrived at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja on Monday where they would be taking off from, following the order of the Kaduna State High court which granted them leave to undergo treatment at an Indian hospital of their choice.

Justice Darius Khobo, thereafter, granted the leave on August 5, adding that the IMN leader and his wife would be accompanied abroad by officials of the Kaduna State Government.

Their trial is expected to resume as soon as they return from the trip.

“I looked at the two young boys with ₦2m. I asked them what business they were expecting and they said it was a deal and that they would bring more money to me once the deal paid off. They promised to buy me a SUV.

“I prayed and the Lord revealed to me that it was Internet fraud and I told them so and they confirmed it was true. walked them out of my office, but one returned with an extra ₦2m in the hope that if the money was much, I would accept it, but I sent them out.”

The clergyman described those who indulged in Internet fraud as worse than armed robbers.
