Contrary to insinuations that he had passed on, the leader of the controversial Islamic group, the Shiitte, Sheik Ibrahim El-Zakzakky has said he is alive.
El-Zakzakky dispelled the rumour of his death on Saturday when he spoke to the media where he had gone for his medical check-up in the company of security operatives.
According to him, he has all along been treated by doctors of the security agents, but his latest medical treatment, he said , was by his personal physician based on his request which was granted him.
He assured his supporters that he was alive and doing well and thanked them for their prayers and support.
Meanwhile, the Department of Security Services said those who started the death rumour had an agenda to cause disaffection in the country.
speaking though its spokesperson, Nnanna Nnochiri, the SSS said the appearance of El-Zak zakky and the wife has vindicated them that the Shiitte leader has been in good hands.
