It would be recalled that Kaduna State Government had released conditions that must be met before El-Zakzaky was allowed to leave Nigeria.
Commissioner for Internal Security and Home Affairs, Samuel Aruwan, in a statement, said though the state government will appeal the ruling of the Kaduna High Court ruling allowing El Zakzaky to travel, it will not seek a stay of execution because it believes that people should have access to treatment.
In reaction, legal luminary, Femi Falana, the Islamic Movement of Nigeria lead lawyer, criticised Kaduna government’s stringent conditions.
