The group in a statement issued by its Publicity Secretary, Segun Fanimo in Kaduna on Friday noted that the duo have been discharged and acquitted by Kaduna State High Court, so releasing their travelling documents will give them the opportunity to treat themselves of various ailments as a result of the brutal attack unleashed on them since 2015 .

The statement reads: “as you are aware, it has been over six months since the leader of the Islamic Movement, Sheikh Ibraheem El-Zakzaky and his wife were acquitted and discharged by Kaduna State High Court, after spending almost six years in illegal detention.
“Justice Gideon Kurada had, in his ruling delivered on July 30, 2021, upheld the no case submission by the council of the defendents Mr Femi Falana SAN.
“The couple who were arrested since December 2015 have been languishing in DSS custody, before later being transferred to Kaduna Correctional Centre facility, under in human and degrading condition.
