The administration of President Muhammadu Buhari has explained why it did not obey court order on the release of the leader of the Islamic Movement of Nigeria, Sheikh Ibraheem el-Zakzakky, Starnews reports.
Speaking on Sunrise Daily, a programme on Channels Television by Tuesday, Mr. Femi Adesina, the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, said the government of Buhari has appealed the order of Justice Gabriel Kolawole which admitted Zakzakky to bail.
While justifying the action taken by the federal government to have appealed the court order, Adesina said the Attorney-General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami (SAN), would have had reasons for appealing the bail order by the court.
He also defended police action for firing live bullets on protesting Shiites members yesterday in Abuja, saying the death toll would have been much higher if the police did not show some restraints.
