The last surviving son of the leader of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria, Mohammed Ibraheem El-Zakzaky has said that his father is going blind and dying slowly over treatment meted on him by men of the Department of State Security (DSS).
He made the disclosure in a lengthy and emotional press statement issued yesterday in Kaduna.
The 30-year-old son of Zakzaky said that his father was systematically and slowly being reduced to a totally blind man, and the only thing he can do now is to protest by any means available.
He said: “If they really are just protecting my father as their lawyer has claimed, then I would want to ask them the following questions: What form of a threat is the visit of family members? What form of a threat is the visit of doctors? What threat does my father’s access to his lawyers constitute?”
He added that as his father’s state worsens, he is “becoming desperate”.
