When will Ishaq Akintola, Muslim Rights Concern director, be arrested for always spreading poison?

Hate speech and fake news appear to be the exclusive preserve of religious and political leaders. This class can spread poison in statements, commentaries and homilies without any check. They can stoke religious animosity and drive the wedge of hate deeper without being held accountable for their actions.

Alas! When Nigerians enduring government’s malfeasance tweet or post their frustrations in parlances that the leadership finds unsavoury or they protest against obvious maladministration, they are magicked away like in the case of Abubakar Idris, a critic, better known as ‘Dadiyata’ who has been missing without a trace for eight months. Or they are harassed, threatened and incarcerated like in the instance of Omoyele Sowore.

I had written about the indulgent liberties of clerics in a previous article entitled ‘When will Pastor Chris Oyakhilome be arrested for spreading injurious falsehood’. I believe we cannot purge the government without first eviscerating the bowels of the religious establishment which sustain temporal power.

I wrote: ‘’Clerics in the country defy the law unabashedly and with unrestrained arrogance. And when there is an attempt to hold them to account the refrain becomes ‘our religion is under attack’ by unbelievers.’’

Ishaq Akintola, director of Muslim Rights Concern, is one cleric who is abusing his privilege and going off the bounds of decency. He issues divisive statements, spinning dangerous conspiracy theories; in so doing inflaming religious passion and threatening the peace.

In his latest conspiracy theory, Ishaq insinuated that the deaths in Kano could be an attempt to reduce the population of northern Muslims.

Hear him: “More disturbing is the rumour that the National Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) in the state has locked up its offices and its officials are not responding to distress calls. The only testing centre in Kano which is situated at the Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital has also been allegedly locked up. So where did NCDC get its figure on Kano? Something is fishy here.

“Is this a deliberate attempt at debilitating Northern population with its attendant impact on Muslim majority population in the country? We, therefore, demand an inquiry into circumstances surrounding the alleged closure of NCDC office in Kano State as well as the paucity of testing centres in the whole North.’’

First, on April 16, Chikwe Ihekweazu, NCDC DG, said the health agency had activated a testing centre in Kano state to boost its testing capacity. In words: “We just activated the lab in Kano a few days ago.’’ So, naturally tests were conducted until April 22 when the testing centre was shut down temporarily for decontamination. This explains where the state’s figures came from.
