Borno Killings Not FG, Military’s Fault, Nigeria Had More Killings Before 2015-MURIC


Sequel to the killings trailed by Boko Haram insurgent group, there has been a tsunami of criticisms against the Federal Government and the Nigerian Military over the recent killing of about thirty civilians in Auno, Borno State.



Some Nigerians have directed their condemnation at the Federal Government (FG) and the Nigerian military, but an Islamic human rights organization, MURIC has told Nigerians that they should take a retrospective and comparative look at the issue of insecurity in Nigeria before casting blames.



According to MURIC, the issue of security, which has lingered right before the Buhari led administration came into government, has reduced drastically in recent times.

This was revealed in a press statement sent to the Herald on Friday, 14th February 2020, by Professor Ishaq Akintola, the founder and director of the Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC).

According to MURIC,



“Wailers are not looking at the terrible state of insecurity before this administration came on board. There is an urgent need to be retrospective. That is the only way to do an objective appraisal. We are up against hardened Libyan mercenaries. We are up against terrorists backed by foreign powers. We are up against internal saboteurs who provide deadly logistics to insurgents.

“Take a look at the North East before 2015. Attacks by insurgents occurred on a daily basis. Boko Haram occupied 24 local governments in three states (Adamawa, Borno and Yobe). Borno state bore the full brunt as 17 of those 25 local governments were located in the state. It was so bad that Borno residents could not pray in mosques or churches and the streets of Maiduguri were deserted. Those local governments had neither electricity nor network coverage for four good years. Borno schools were burnt and destroyed, markets were closed down and businesses were scuttled. Social life was totally paralysed.

“Corruption aided the insurgency as money meant for arms was diverted by the previous administration. This forced Nigerian soldiers to flee at the approach of Boko Haram fighters. Our soldiers were taking refuge in neighbouring countries. But the picture is different today. No single local government is under Boko Haram control. The insurgents are the ones taking to their heels and their new guerrilla tactics prove the point that they have acknowledged the fact that they are facing superior forces.

“How can we forget so soon? Where were people like Hassan Kukah and the Christian protesters when Alex Badeh, a fellow Christian, and the CDS stole money meant for fighting terror. Yet Badeh knew that Boko Haram was attacking churches. What did Badeh do when he got intelligence that the terrorists were going to attack his village? He went there to evacuate his family with a military helicopter. Badeh later became a victim of the same insecurity which he had fueled.

“It is paradoxical that the same Hassan Kukah who condemned other Nigerians for their flair for criticizing their country in 2014 is the chief wailer in 2020. Even the blind can see clearly here that Hassan Kukah’s parameter for performance in government does not go beyond religion. He was a praise-singer in 2014 when a Christian was in power. His attitude changed from May 29, 2015 when a Muslim became the landlord of Aso Rock.

“It is painful that people are treating the recent upsurge in the attacks by Boko Haram insurgents in isolation. That is neither fair nor objective. Our soldiers are doing their very best. They are just human beings and there are no magicians in Aso Rock. Besides, guerilla warfare is not one in which you wipe out the rebels in a jiffy. The Northern Ireland conflicts, the Latin-American insurgence, the Second Indo-China War, the Soviet-Afghanistan struggle, the Bangladesh Liberation War, the Baltic anti-Soviet campaigns, etc lasted decades.

MURIC appeals to Nigerians to be patient and understanding. We call on all and sundry to cooperate fully with the security agencies by giving them all necessary information about the activities and movements of insurgents and criminals.

“To the people of Maiduguri and environs, we appeal to you to redouble your Iman (faith). Some of you allowed yourselves to be used against a man who is doing everything possible to protect you and your properties. May Allah forgive you. Remember how those before you blamed Prophet Muhammad (SAW) for their woes and Allah chided them for their lack of understanding.

“Listen to what Allah told them, ‘Death can catch up with you wherever you may be, even if you are in towers of great height. If some good things happen to them, they say this is from Allah. But if misfortune occurs, they say this is from you (i.e. from the Prophet SAW). Tell them everything is from Allah. Why can’t these people understand?’ (Glorious Qur’an 4:78).

“We give assurance that you are not alone. You are always on our mind. You are in our prayers. Your safety is our concern. But do not play into the hands of the enemy by turning against Nigerian soldiers or by blaming a caring Federal Government. Our soldiers are your friends. Many of them have died for you and they are still falling on the battlefield.

“MURIC salutes gallant Nigerian soldiers at the battlefront. We call on top military hierarchy to up the game against the insurgents. We advise the governor of Borno State to be more diplomatic in his public utterances about military operations in the sub-region, to improve the relationship with the military command in the state and to give more logistic support to Nigerian soldiers.

“To conclude this advocacy, we remind Nigerians of the need to set comparative yardsticks between insecurity in pre-2015 Nigeria and the present day. We call on the governor of Borno State to be more tactical in his comments about the military. We charge residents of the sub-region to show more taqwah (consciousness of Allah) in their attitude to their predicament.”

Not my business am a Liberian citizen now

Fools

Still calling people wailers at this stage!
So all the next president needs to do is tell people more people died under Buhari?

This Fulani group needs to stop using a yoruba man as their face like Femi Adeshina and Voltron14

Ishaq Akintola at it again...

So that is to say the killings are justifiable...and the Invaders and Marauder's should continue killing people as they like..

Professor Akintola....Muric and it's followers.

Who is MURIC?

when you think you have seen it all...madness will just stare you on the face.

MURIC is a disgrace to the Yorubas of south western extraction

OKKO:
when you think you have seen it all...madness will just stare you on the face.

What is this mans obsession with CAN? Whenever any member of CAN makes a statement, he must counter and the thing is that CAN doesn't even see him.

Muricofficial, must you comment on anything that comes from CAN. It seems like you have no other work than to be masturbating on anything CAN says. If u Dont have something tangible to say, shut the bleep up or better still mind ur faithfuls and guide them spiritually

“The bIoodshed now is more than, combined together, the bIoodshed during Jonathan’s regime. So now you judge yourselves to be fair. Our religion is a religion of fairness


Gumi

Here they come again MUMURIC

Can somebody remind this lunatic why Buhari was elected, and what we're his campaign promises in 2015..

Security and ending Boko Haram was on of the lies peddled by this government to tackle.

Why is he still collecting $1B for security since he has no solution to it?

Is this MURIC man also implying that the killing should continue?


Ishaq Akintola, I know you must defend your pay masters but this is low as a professor.

I know that one day, his real parents from katsina will come and claim him

Ishaq Akintola is only doing his paid Job he doesn't speak for the muslims, the constituitional body that speaks for the muslim is Islamic Council headed by Sultan

Anybody can walk in to Corporate Affiars Commision to register an organization, it cost less than 20 k, so because Akintola registered an organization without any known member doesn't mean he is qualified to speak unbehalf of 50million Nigerian muslims

Now to the topic and salient points raised...

Its a clear fact that only Obasanjo and Yaradua had relatively peacefull regime, as theirs were ocassional crisis (OPC , Jos crisis, Massob and Niger Delta Crisis, cult Crisis) unfortunately Jonathan and Buhari are not battling crisis but full scale war which Nigerian territory are being over ran by foriegners


.

This mumuric people can annoy o..

This man is giving credence to the acronym of Westerners as "slaves" to the North.

Foolish yoruba moslem... Islam love celebrating killings !

muric is worse than boko haram

MUMUNI

Prof of Terror has spoken

Mumuric is right about this one.
We never start for Nigeria

“To conclude this advocacy, we remind Nigerians of the need to set comparative yardsticks between insecurity in pre-2015 Nigeria and the present day.

Jonathan tenure - 2011/2015 = 5 years.
Buhari tenure - 2015/2020 = 5 years.


The only difference now is, the terrorist now appreciate life to no longer engage suicide mission.. they kill at will now with aids.

MURIC at it always foolish

So senseless bloodshed and killings are now acceptable because government is not a continuum? This stupid caliphate wannabe MURIC terrorist man will never be reasonable for once.

It The useless man will never condemn BH/fulani terrorists killings or call out the president for failing to provide security but who is blaming citizens for subjecting bandits to jungle justice.

Mouthpiece of the caliphate.


They always use the south.
Conquered people

This MUMURIC idiot is mad. I think madness runs in his generation. I am a Yoruba, I am a Muslim, but this MUMURIC nincompoop does not speak for Yoruba neither does she speak for Muslims. I think he is speaking for fellow idiots like FFK, Reno OMo-Kirikiri and other miscreants. He deserves to be beheaded at the market square.

Tell me the people that were conquered. Let me remind you, it is the Biafrans that were conquered in 1970 and still remain conquered till date.

This Foolish Man Again..

APCNig:

Are u also mouthpiece of the caliphate?

West rather.
Stop trying to sound nice. If it is east then it is east same as south...

MelesZenawi:

So hasty to write.

Past heads of states, presidents and religious bodies always use people from the south as their mouthpiece whether ss,se or sw. Go and do your research.
Today it's Yoruba, tomorrow another northerners will become president and use another tribe from the east. Lorretta Onochie is delta igbo. Mbaka, is he not representing them?
The South is always their mouth piece. They are not ashamed at all.
