The Nigerian Army said he was arrested in response to an assassination attempt by his followers on the Chief of Army Staff, Lt General Tukur Buratai.
During the Pro-Palestinian rally in July 2015, 34 protesters were reportedly killed by the Nigerian soldiers, three undergraduate sons of Zakzaky were among those killed.
The Nigerian Army said members of Shi’ite blocked the motorcade transporting Lt General Tukur Buratai before troops responded with force.
