The judge adjourned the trial after listening to both
defense and prosecution counsels.
Mr Femi Falana, SAN, Counsel to El-Zakzaky and his wife, had
filed the application on behalf of his clients on July 18 wherein he prayed the
court to allow his client to seek medical attention abroad.
He had argued that the health condition of his clients was
getting worse and needed urgent medical attention abroad. But the prosecuting
counsel Debris Bayero opposed the bail application, arguing that the Shiites’
leader should seek local medical attention.
El-Zakzaky and his
wife are facing an eight-count of culpable homicide, unlawful assembly,
disturbance of public peace.
Recall that barely 48 hours today, the federal government
had proscribed the activities of the group, except the group’s right to practicing
its religion.
