By Ayodele Oluwafemi

Apparently worried by reports on the state of health of the embattled leader of the Islamic Movement of Nigeria, IMN, Sheikh Ibrahim El-Zakzaky, the Islamic Republic of Iran has pleaded with the Federal Government to release the Shi’ite leader to the Shite country for medical treatment.

The request was contained in a letter written to the Nigerian authorities by the Iranian Prosecutor-General,  Mr. Mohammed Montazeri, according to agency reports.

In the letter, the Iranian Government expressed worried over the declining state of the health of the Shi’ites leader, which had sparked series of protests by the followers of the movement in Abuja and Lagos.

“I, as the prosecutor general of the Islamic Republic of Iran, urge the Nigerian judicial authorities (to take steps) in line with their judicial independence and support for a captive citizen, and provide the ground for his release and transfer him to the Islamic Republic of Iran for treatment,” the letter read in part.
