An official of DSS, who preferred to remain anonymous, said El-Zakzaky was hale and hearty.

El-Zakzaky was arrested in 2015 after his members blocked the convoy of the Chief of Army Staff, Lt.-Gen. Tukur Buratai, in Zaria, Kaduna State.

53 of his followers were arrested on Wednesday by the police following a violent protest in Abuja.

Since the arrest and detention of El-Zakzaky, his followers had organized series of protests in cities across the country for his release.
