The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) has urged Governor Rotimi Akeredolu to compensate the Fulani residents of Ondo State for the losses they suffered in the reprisal attack which followed massacre of worshippers at a Owo Catholic Church.

MURIC said this in a statement issued by it director, Prof. Ishaq Akintola, on Thursday commending security agencies for the arrest of those behind the Owo church massacre, which claimed about 40 lives.

He noted that the Nigerian Army arrested suspected terrorists who attacked over 40 churchgoers at the St. Francis Catholic Church, Owo, on Sunday, June 5.

But he added that it was interesting that none of the attackers was a Fulani man, contrary to the general belief that the attackers were Fulani people.

“However, it is interesting to discover that contrary to the gargantuan mountain of blame heaped on Fulani herders over the attack, none of those arrested was a Fulani man. Rather, they are all from Okene, Kogi State.

“For instance, Gov. Rotimi Akeredolu blamed the trilogy of Fulani, bandits and ISWAP. The U.S Institute, Knoxville News Sentinel, swallowed Akeredolu’s bait by accusing the Nigerian Government of shielding herdsmen involved in the attack on worshippers in Owo church.

“The International Centre for Investigative Reporting (ICIR) was not left out as it blamed Fulani terrorists and accused FG of shielding herdsmen by accusing ISWAP of the horrendous attack.

“Next came the Yoruba Alliance who said that President Muhammadu Buhari should be held responsible saying he invited Fulani terrorists from across Africa into Nigeria,” he said.

“Also the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) linked the attack to ‘Fulani terrorists. Even Nairaland’s online media came out with a screaming headline, ‘Fulani terrorists behind Owo Church attack Arrested’.

“But surprisingly, none of those arrested is a Fulani as announced and paraded by the army on Tuesday, Aug. 9.

“We recall the spontaneous attacks on Northerners and their property immediately after the church massacre, particularly in Ogwatoghose and Ikare areas of Ondo State. Now we can all see that the wrong and innocent people were attacked while the criminals got away.”

Akintola urged the Ondo State Government to compensate the victims of the reprisal attacks caused by the wrong accusation of the Fulani people for the attack.

“It behoves Gov. Rotimi Akeredolu to appease the Fulani victims of the reprisal attacks. Those who lost property should be compensated. Some form of relief should also be provided for families of those who were killed among them.

“MURIC appeals to Nigerians to be circumspect, to avoid jumping to conclusions and, most importantly, to stop ethnic profiling and hasty judgement. There are criminals in all tribes just as there are decent people everywhere. Tribes do not commit a crime. It is individuals who do.

“MURIC commends the security agencies for unmasking those behind the massacre. Their task was herculean, yet they did Nigeria proud by getting results within a reasonable time. They proved beyond any reasonable doubt that no arm of the security agencies is sleeping.

“We charge cynics to rekindle the fire of hope in Nigeria. We will get positive results if our attitude to our soldiers, the police and the Department of State Services (DSS) is positive. We can only reap what we sow. The security agencies need our cooperation because they are not magicians. They need information,” he said.

Prime time news the purveyor of useless news coming from terror spokes men and owned by another drug baron cum terrorist by proxy

This man should just STFU!!!

The Fulani terrorists has done more harm than good, any false accusations against them that lead to the destruction of their properties should be taken like that, who is going to compensate the farmers for the loss the fulanis caused them while destroying,chasing and killing them on their farms?

Thank you so much Muric

We love terrorist in SW

I will tell tinubu personally to arrange the compensation

Sophisticated Moooroooons..that claim to be accommodators. Just imagining how ODUDUWORM republic will be with Terrorist MURIC and their supporters incharge.

But he added that it was interesting that none of the attackers was a Fulani man, contrary to the general belief that the attackers were Fulani people.

I thought he was going to continue with the speech by saying all of them are Muslims.

We already know muric is a Fulani wanabe group. Their body language tilt towards d north than the west,that's why Muric has never speak good of Amotekun and other Yoruba agenda programs..

Mk I send him to his slave master,d fulanis,when they will compensate the Okeogun people of Oyo state for the atrocities committed on them. Eleriibu sombori

What of those murdered in Church by Islamic fanatics?

Whoever is bankrolling this Low budget Fulani man will be exposed soon.
Fulani wannabe terrorist

The governor of Ondo State said there was a mix up as one of the names published was a prisoner in Kuje prison as at the time the church was attacked. How are we sure the same mistakes was not done on the other names?
I am not in support of radicalism anywhere,but look how the government quickly gave the names and tribes of the attackers. But refused to publish known terrorism sponsors in the list that Dubai sent to us and how they are sanctioning Media houses for airing an investigation where terrorist confirmed their massacre of innocent people.
I have told the other minority tribes in the North that they are only needed for votes and nothing more.

My mind is telling me that those names are names of condemned criminals from the prison. People they brought out from prison just to cover up the Fulanis.

No indigenous Nigerian can carry out that massacre.
What was their motive? is the question you should ask

Muric is crazy fringe organization. Just a few steps from becoming terrorists themselves.

Tankio!!

Topic should had been: "Compensate Fulani Terrorists For Mistaken Identifications"

This MURIC is a terrible terror

This muric dg have serious inferiority problem.

I foresee a day when US government will designate MURIC as a terrorist organization.

Jihad is boiling in the blood of this Ishaq Akintola guy.

It shows that Yoruba Muslims pigs are terorists in waiting, is just a matter of time , most Yoruba Muslims are terorists minded fellows, expecting anything good from Yoruba Muslims is like expecting something good from APC

But those arrested where all Muslims so what's the difference between six and half a dozen

Does muric ask for compensation of non Muslims when they get attacked in the north because America killed Terrorists in middle East

Some Foolish yorubas would keep saying muric is one man organization and supporting in silence

Muric concern isn't about its own Yoruba people attacked it's about the caliphate it is loyal to

Na so south west take welcome Terrorists and normalize it

Even Nairaland’s online media came out with a screaming headline, ‘Fulani terrorists behind Owo Church attack Arrested’.

Seun it's very clear this forum is the one giving life to this Terrorists group

They have monikers here and I won't be surprised if the Muslim mod is one of them

God bless the good people of Southsouth and Southwest ..

One brothers

A criminal is a criminal, whether fulani, yoruba, ebira igbo or Hausa. Do not criminalize a whole ethnic group because of a few.
