A Nigeria high court has adjourned indefinitely the trial of the leader of the Islamic Movement in the country. Sheikh Ibrahim Zakzaky’s lawyer said the top cleric is in dire need of medical attention as his health is deteriorating. Zakzaky has been in prison since 2015 following a deadly raid by the Nigerian army on his residence. Danjuma Abdullahi reports.
