Fresh charges have been filed against the leader of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria (IMN), Sheikh Ibraheem El-Zakzaky, by the Kaduna State Government.
Counsel for the state government, Dari Bayero made this known on Friday.
This comes after El-Zkazaky and his wife, Zeenat was acquitted and discharged by a High Court in the state.
Justice Gideon Kurada had ordered the release of El-Zakzaky and Zeenat after they were acquitted of all charges against them.
Reacting to the judgment, Bayero disclosed that the Nasir El-Rufai-led Kaduna State government would appeal the judgment.

He stated further that fresh charges have been filed against the Shiites leader under the Treason and Treasonable Offences Act before a Federal High Court.
“We are going to appeal, there is no doubt about it; in fact, we have obtained the court judgment because we are not in agreement with my Lord’s reasoning and conclusion, it is not in consonance with the facts on the ground,” he said.
