I Fed Myself While In Detention — El-Zakzaky Reveals Amidst Claims That FG Spent N3.5m For His Feeding

The leader of the Islamic Movement of Nigeria, IMN, Sheikh Ibrahim Yakoub El-Zakzaky, has dismissed claims that he was fed by the Nigerian government while in detention. 

 This is following the allegations made by the Federal Government that N3.5 million was budgeted for the cleric feeding monthly.

 El-Zakzaky made this disclosure on Friday, December 15, at a media briefing, noting that he and his wife, Zeenat, never received any money from the Federal Government while incarcerated. 

 “Throughout our stay in Abuja, we were feeding ourselves, but we could not say because we were ourselves illegally. 

 “Legally, they were supposed to feed us but they didn’t want anybody to hear that we were feeding ourselves through the five years and seven months we were in detention, we were feeding ourselves, nobody gave us a bottle of water,” the cleric said. 

 It would be recalled that El-Zakzaky, expressed concern over the rate of extrajudicial killings in Nigeria, earlier in the week.
