She stated further that if an Indian court had granted El-zakzaky asylum or leave to travel to another country, “it would have violated the Nigerian court order that granted him permission to travel for medical treatment.”
The FG alleged further that El Zaki Zaky also “used the opportunity of being in India to attempt to internationalise his cause by mobilising the Rights groups.”
It stated further that the most unfortunate and rather embarrassing aspect of the crisis, “was his quest to be relocated to a 5-Star hotel to receive visitors instead of being admitted in the hospital as a sick person he claimed to be.”
The government said further that in spite of the sect leaders misconduct, his wife ” went further to antagonize the Indian and Nigerian security agents and accused the latter of killing her children. ”
The government stated further that these acts were aimed at winning international sympathy as well as disparaging the Nigerian Government.” The statement stated further that having subordinated the quest for medical treatment to other ulterior motives, “it became obvious that El-zakzaky was focused on realising some sinister motives thus the decision to return him to Nigeria.”
