The supporters of Muslim cleric Sheikh Ibrahim Zakzaky have staged a protest in the northwestern Nigerian town of Kano, demanding his immediate release as his health condition deteriorated further, Iran Press reported.

Iran Press /Africa: Sheikh Zakzaky has been held in detention since December 2015, when the army killed hundreds of his followers at his compound and a nearby mosque and burial ground in northern Kaduna state.
