The Muslim Rights Concern, MURIC has warned Nigerians
against making hasty conclusions on the killers of Funke
Olakunrin, daughter of Afenifere's leader, Pa Reuben
Fasoranti.
MURIC decried the profiling of Fulani herdsmen as
perpetrators of the sad act, and also appealed to Chief
Fasoranti to bear the loss with equanimity and treat it with
the maturity expected of a leader and statesman.
The Muslim group in its statement made available to
newsmen alleged that the Benin-Ore road is notorious for
kidnapping and armed robbery, adding that Nigerians
should focus on helping the police to stem the tide of
criminality instead of blaming a particular tribe.
The statement reads;
“First and foremost, we condole with the leader of
Afenifere whose daughter was killed yesterday. No
Nigerian deserves such horrible death. We pray that
Allah will give her husband, the husband’s family
and the Fasoranti family the strength to bear the
loss.
“We appeal to Chief Fasoranti to bear the loss with
equanimity and to treat the matter with the maturity
expected of a leader and statesman. We feel his
pain. Our hearts and thoughts are with Chief
Fasoranti and his family at this moment.
“It is necessary at this point to warn Nigerians
against spreading fake news or jumping to
conclusions. We must not allow those who have
hidden agenda to destroy this country.
“Earlier reports had said that the killers were Fulani
herdsmen. But the police who arrived at the scene
early enough to rescue seven of the abducted
victims said the identity could only be disclosed
after the culprits have been apprehended.
“Benin-Ore road is notorious for kidnapping and
armed robbery. Anybody can fall victim. Let us face
the criminals and not any particular tribe. There are
criminal elements in all tribes just as there are
good citizens all over this country. There is nothing
like a siege by one tribe on another because
kidnapping and armed robbery are crimes
happening everywhere.
“Instead of blaming any tribe, we should focus on
helping the police to stem the tide of criminality.
People are being kidnapped in Zamfara and Sokoto.
People are disappearing in Enugu and Calabar.
Lagos-Ibadan road and Ife-Ibadan road are not so
safe. But most of the criminals caught in the South
are Southerners and vice versa.
“Kidnappers target their own kinsmen
indiscriminately. Igbo criminals kidnap Igbo
businessmen. Yoruba hoodlums deal with Yoruba
folks while Northern criminals target those who live
around them. These criminals do not profile their
victims on the basis of ethnic leaning.
“We appeal to Nigerians to eschew ethnic
stigmatization. Fake news have rented the air. We
urge all Nigerians to do their own findings before
believing any story. We read the scriptures but fail
to follow the teachings. The Qur’an says, ‘If a
rumour-monger comes to you with any news, find
out the truth so that you will not harm the innocent
and start regretting it later’ (49:6). In the same vein,
the Bible says, ‘Investigate all matters and hold
onto that which is the truth.’ (I Thessalonians 5:21).
“We therefore appeal to all to wait for the outcome
of police investigations. Nigerians are everywhere.
We are a highly mobile specie and there is no
single tribe that does not have its own kinsmen in
other places. The way we treat people of other
tribes among us is the way our kinsmen will be
treated by our victims’ people.
“Besides, it has become glaring that disgruntled
elements are out there spreading mischief. Several
false alarms have been debunked in the past by the
police and this may just be one of them. Let us
think of the vulnerable ones among us, women and
children who are usually the major victims of crises
and wars before kindling the fire of war.
“If the cassu belli of the First World War (28th July
1914 to 11thNovember 1918) whose toll was 37
million was the assassination of a Serbian prince,
Archduke Franz Ferdinand in Sarajevo on 28thJune,
1914, we must know the full implications of using
the killing of the daughter of one of our leaders to
incite people. It is too dangerous.
“We are also aware that thieves who stole from
public coffers are jittery. They are constantly and
deliberately creating confusion. They have become
professional authors of fake news and merchants
of hate speech. Bad losers are their ready listeners
and willing cohorts. We must not allow such people
to destroy this great country.
“In conclusion, we commiserate with Chief
Fasoranti and his family. We commend the police
for its swift intervention and for saving seven
kidnap victims near the scene of crime. We urge
the security agencies to up the game. We appeal to
all and sundry to be wary of fake news, to
cooperate with the police and to remain calm and
law abiding.”

Are they going to the bushes to do investigation.

Yoruba Muslims

Listen MURIC or whatever you choose to call yourself.. People that step into the highway shooting automatic rifles at vehicles have the first intention to kill
Second intention to rob the dead
Third intention to kidnap or murder the survivors
So stop calling these people robbers.

Why Writing this Long epistle to defend the Fulani herdsmen and Myatti Allah killers. U never condemned the statement made by one of u bastard 2 weeks ago that threatened to Unleash Evil acts to the South if RUGA is not given to u guys. Now it's no coincidence that this evil acts of killings and kidnappings are becoming more and more a daily thing in the South since RUGA was quashed.

Yoruba Muslims are migrants and do not consider Yoruba Christians as their brothers.

NIGERIA IS NOT AN ISLAMIC COUNTRY. The director of the Muslim group, Muslim Rights Concern [MURIC: an Islamic “human rights” organization], Ishaq Akintola [@IshaqAkintola], is a nuisance. He chats nonsense. He is a JOKE. He’s advocating for #theocracy. He wants the reality show, Big Brother Nigeria [BB Naija #BBNaija], banned. Imagine! He’s yearning for relevance. Joker, keep dreaming. One wonders why the Ministry of Information and Culture and the National Orientation Agency have not proscribed his gob. That caveman and his primitive mindset should be banned from being in the news. MURIC and Ishaq Akintola should relocate to Sambisa forest. NIGERIA WILL NEVER BE AN ISLAMIC COUNTRY. MURIC and Ishaq Akintola should stop telling Nigerians what to do or should not do. No one is listening to MURIC and Ishaq Akintola. They’re irritating and totally awful and irrelevant.

Manifested as Expected.

If you expected anything more just, or balanced, then you don't know his type.

This fool was nowhere to be found when some northern elements threatened the southern people because the south rejected Ruga.

Notice how they didn't condemn the killer ..Both Muric and all Yoruba Muslims welcome the complete Islamization of the SW

Ko ni da fun MURIC yi sha

We appeal to Chief Fasoranti to bear the loss with
equanimity and to treat the matter with the maturity
expected of a leader and statesman. We feel his
pain. Our hearts and thoughts are with Chief
Fasoranti and his family at this moment.

May you too get this message anytime soon.

Nonsense!

It's become super clear.... The yorubas are scared of the Fulanis.

Yoruba Muslims

Abeg make I laugh jare!!

MURIC and controversy is like 5 and 6

BROTHER MURI IS VERY CORRECT

In order for Muric and it likes to save face,the northern police will arrest innocent people from other tribes and parade them before photo journalists as the suspects responsible for the killings of fasoranti.This is a ploy to divert people's attention from the real'fulani herdsmen killers

IJOBA2, A VERY GOOD FRIEND OF MINE WHO IS NOW SERVING A ONE YEAR BAN WAS THE VERY FIRST PERSON THAT EXPOSED THIS ISLAMIC TERRORIST CALLED ISHAQ AKINTOLA ON NAIRALAND.BUT SOME ISLAMIC FUNDAMENTALIST CALLED MODERATORS GAVE HIM A ONE YEAR BAN FOR TELLING THE WHOLE WORLD HOW HIS MINORITY CHRISTIAN BRETHREN ARE SUFFERING IN YORUBA LAND.

This man called Muric abi mumuric is so useless,shameless, Brainless all at the same time. spits

Carry serving the caliphate for head like dreadlocks, the overzealousness of this man in defending the caliphate if not properly checked now will be a disaster waiting to happen.

The muric bastard will support anything that has Islam attached to it. If the killings were to be perpetrated by a Christian man, akintola would have open the roof of hell on Nigeria. Idiotic animal

They are ambassador of Islam. the former unilorin Vc was once the muric director before. I'm talking about professor Ishiaq Oloyede. he's now the jamb registrar. Oloyede isn't worse than the present muric secretary now. very bad

God bless Nigeria and Nigerians.

Brother You have Hit the Nail on the head. Right on Point.

it will get to your turn akintola you will soon feel the wrath of headsman barbarity

Okay but Fulani herdsmen is the prime suspect!!!

Because, Fresh facts emerged on that herdsmen have converted the Ondo Government reserve located in the Odigbo Local Government Area into a militia camp.

This indication buttressed the widespread claim that killers of Mrs Funke Olakunrin, 58-year-old daughter of the leader of pan-Yoruba socio-cultural organisation, Afenifere, Chief Reuben Fasoranti, were herdsmen who sneaked out of the reserve to rain bullets on the vehicle she was travelling in.

Killers of Fasoranti’s daughter have their base in the forest, say villagers!!!

It could only be people who have preview of Reuben Fasoranti's home!!!

We all know how the Fulanis can be if you don't support or obey their orders!!!

This is precisely why we are against them in the south!!!

I believe the South have echoed in unity that they don't want Fulani herdsmen rearing cattle on their land!!! Unionism is not by force now haba!!!

More so it's not as if citizens are helpless but the problem is that these Fulani herdsmen have the backing of a whole president!!!

What rubbish

Honestly these Yoruba Muslims are something else..
Just look at how they have been defending fulanis since morning against the Yoruba Christian deceased starting from Tinubu, Muric and rest of them.. This really speaks volumes and signifies a lot which some people are yet to know the significance of their actions until the chips are down ..

Some of us Christian Yorubas are in big trouble...

Meanwhile where have you been ?
I missed your educative comments
