The detained leader of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria (IMN) Sheikh Ibrahim El-Zakzaky, has distributed foodstuffs worth millions of Naira to the needy to mark the beginning of this year’s Ramadan season.

      The food items, which include bags of sugar, rice, wheat, and sorghum were distributed on his behalf by his blood brother and disciple, Sheikh Badamasi Ya’qoub.

       A press release by the Chairman, Free El-Zakzaky campaign committee, Alhaji Abdulrahman Abubakar, said the detained cleric instructed the distribution of the items last week when a section of his family members were allowed a rare visit along with the foreign medical experts that came in to assess his health situation.

     He said.
 “It has been Sheikh Ibrahim Zakzaky’s traditional practice to share food items to the  poor and the needy muslims and that has continued even after the Buhari-led government had killed over thousands of his supporters including his biological son and put him and the wife in illegal detention having grievously
 wounded them and refused to comply with the judgement of the Federal High Court that declared their detention as a breach of their fundamental rights.”

        It was added that the Islamic head sends his  wishes to Muslims all over the world and assures them of his prayers throughout the ramadan period
