The report signed by the Head of Family Medicine BDTH states that El-Zakzaky, who is 60 years old, is “hypertensive” and suffers from “Hemimiparesis with left facial neck paralysis 18 months ago, secondary to the Ischemic phenomena in the brain.”
A document obtained by SaharaReporters has revealed that a
medical examination conducted on the detained leader of the Islamic Movement in
Nigeria by the Department of State Services, Ibraheem El-Zakzaky, on July 8,
2019, shows that he is need of urgent medical treatment.
The DSS ordered test was conducted at the Barau Dikko
Teaching Hospital, Department of Family Medicine on July 12, 2019, a few days
before his legal counsel, Femi Falana filed a bail application urging the court
to grant the detained Zakzaky permission to travel abroad for medical
treatment.
The court had ordered another investigation of health claims
despite existing proofs that Zakzaky is sick from the DSS.
The report signed by the Head of Family Medicine BDTH states
that El-Zakzaky, who is 60 years old, is “hypertensive” and suffers from
“Hemimiparesis with left facial neck paralysis 18 months ago, secondary to the
Ischemic phenomena in the brain.”
It adds that the Shiite leader was in April 2019 diagnosed
by a team of foreign doctors of having, “Ischaemic heart disease, left
ventricular hypertrophy, chronic hypertension, cervical spondylitis causing
nerve compression, right eye severe visual impairment with progressive open
glaucoma, macular atrophy and left eye anophthalmia in addition to mental
toxicity.”
The medical report for the DSS’ medical inquiry was signed
by Dr Ramatu Abubakar (M.B.B.S, FMCFP, MRH), a Consultant Family Physician for
the hospital.
El-Zakzaky remains detained despite a court order mandating
his release. The IMN, which he leads, has also been described as a terrorist
organization by the Federal Government of Nigeria.
