Ramadan: El-Zakzaky Donates Foodstuffs to Needy Muslims

Leader of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria (IMN) also known as Shi’ites Sheikh Ibraheem El-Zakzaky has distributed foodstuffs worth millions of Naira to the needy to mark the beginning of this year’s Ramadan season.

The food items included sugar, rice, maize and millet and the distribution started Wednesday at Zaria and will continue in other parts of the county.

He instructed that the distribution of the items is to assist as many needy Nigerians as possible during this Ramadan.

Our correspondent who witnessed the opening of the event at Zaria, Kaduna and the rest of the Kaduna Local Governments noted that the practice of sharing food items to the poor and the needy by the Islamic leader has been going on for over 20 years.

It would be recalled that Sheikh El-Zakzaky and his wife recently regained their freedom from detention last year after Kaduna state High Court discharged him and his wife Malama Zeenat Ibrahim from all 8 counts of charges levelled against them by the Kaduna State Government.

Sheikh El-Zakzaky had continued his charity act of giving foodstuffs to the needy even while he was in detention even after over a thousand of his supporters including his three biological sons were killed.

The Islamic leader sends his best wishes to Muslims all over the world and assures them of his prayers throughout the Islamic fasting season.

The food items were distributed to the internally displaced persons (IDPs) in Katsina, Niger, Sokoto and the Zamfara States, who were in various IDPs camps in their respective States and communities in Northern Nigeria who are in need of food during the month of Ramadan.

Christians from the southern part of the country will also benefit from this kind gesture of Sheikh el-Zakzaky, he said.
