A Nigerian court on Monday granted bail to a detained Shiite leader, whose case has sparked bloody protests, so that he can fly to India for medical care, his lawyer said.
Ibrahim Zakzaky, the founder of the outlawed pro-Iranian Islamic Movement in Nigeria (IMN), has been in detention since his arrest in December 2015.
"The judge has ordered that Zakzaky be flown to India for proper medical attention," Femi Falana told AFP.
