Court refuses El-Zakzaky’s bail application

A Federal High Court in Abuja has declined the bail application of the Shi’ites leader, Sheikh Ibrahim El-Zakzaky.

El-Zakzaky’s counsel Abubakar Masha instituted the suit seeking an enforcement of the fundamental human rights on behalf of his client.

Vacation Judge Justice Okon Abang said Zakzaky ought to have obtained the leave of court for the matter to be heard during vacation.

He explained that the applicant failed to serve the Department of State Sevices, inspector-general of Police (IG) and the federal attorney general, who were joined as respondents.

Abang struck out the application for incompetency.
