Suhaila Zakzaky, daughter of Ibraheem El-Zakzaky, the detained leader of the Islamic Movement of Nigeria (IMN) has dismissed claims that the group will suspend protest following its proscription by the Federal Government.
Suhaila, who was reacting to a statement from Ibrahim Musa, president of the IMN media forum, that the protests have been suspended, said protests will continue until her father is released.
Musa had said the suspension was as a result of “some new openings into the resolution of the problems” involving the proscription of its activities.
Speaking in a video shared online, Suhaila said, “even as I speak right now, earlier today, there was a protest in Abuja and there will be tomorrow.”

“And there will continue to be on every weekday. I just wanted to clarify because I saw news agencies stating that spokesperson of this movement released the statement.
“First of all, the Islamic movement has no such thing as a spokesman. And the person who wrote this article (is) the chairman of the media forum; the media forum, just like the numerous forums we have in the Islamic movement, is just a forum that is there for people within that field to have their own space and activities within the Islamic movement.”
She cautioned against “frustrating” the efforts of the protests, adding: “This person (Musa) has nothing to do with the people organising this protest that have been going on in Abuja and will continue to go on till El-Zakzaky is freed.”
