Muric Condemns Killing Of 66 Fulanis In Kaduna by OfficialMURIC: 3:03am On Feb 17, 2019
Sixty-six Fulanis have been reportedly killed in Kajuru Local Government of Kaduna State. The incident occurred towards evening on Friday, 15th February, 2019.


In a swift reaction, the Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) has condemned the killing. MURIC, an Islamic human rights organization, described the killings as barbaric, inhuman and provocative. In a press statement issued minutes after the report of the killings reached Nigerians, the rights group said it was certain that the killings were intended to truncate the general elections which are set to begin tomorrow, Saturday, 16th February, 2019. The statement was signed by the director and founder of the organization, Professor Ishaq Akintola.


“This killing is horrendous and cowardly act. It is calculated to truncate the general elections and also to provoke reactions. It is nothing but a terrorist act. No more, no less. The culprits must be apprehended. We strongly condemn the killings. Those who target vulnerable and innocent women and children for merciless killings deserve due punishment.


“These are rebellious subjects, enemies of peace. They see defeat staring at them squarely in the face in the 2019 elections. But they have decided to tow the path of violence instead of taking the expected outcome with equanimity.


“MURIC charges the Commissioner of Police in charge of Kaduna State to bring the culprits to book with immediate effect. Steps must be taken by both the government and security agencies to prevent the crisis from escalating. We appeal to Fulanis in the state to exercise restraint.


“The timing of the killings suggest that the culprits intend to cause mayhem capable of disrupting the general election not only in Kaduna State but in the whole country. That is why they launched their attack on the eve of the general elections. They have only used Kaduna State as a launching pad. We therefore call on the Nigerian security agencies to be on the tip-toes of alertness in order to ward off any crisis that rears its ugly head anywhere in the country particularly during the general elections.

Director,

Press Release

El-Rufai’s dastardly plot to incite violence over ‘Kajuru Killings




The attention of the Southern Kaduna Peoples Union (SOKAPU) has been drawn to a report credited to Governor Nasir Ahmad el-Rufai over alleged killings of 66 Fulani in Kajuru Local Government Area. We are at a loss as to the real motive behind the governor’s disclosure, made public less than 24 hours before the commencement of national polls that were postponed by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). We are of the view that el-Rufai’s comments over the Kajuru killings was deliberately orchestrated to inflame ethnic and religious sentiments to produce yet another cycle of bloodshed.



SOKAPU has reached out to the various community leaders in Kajuru, including officials of the Adara Nation to ascertain what actually happened. On Sunday, February 10, 2019, the Adara natives residing in Ungwar Barde in Kufana District of Kajuru Local Government Area came under attack by gunmen suspected to be herdsmen. The attack lasted from 10pm of Sunday to 4am of Monday February 11, 2019. By the time the merchants of deaths and destructions were through with their mission, no fewer than 11 lives, including a pregnant woman, were lost. Scores of victims of the attack on Ungwar Barde sustained injuries, with some of them presently receiving treatment at some health facilities in the state capital. We have been informed that the attackers, seven of them in number, were arrested by a team of policemen. Sadly, not a statement was issued by el-Rufai over that gruesome attack on Ungwan Barde.



Following the Sunday attack on Ungwan Barde, residents of Ungwan Busa and Doruwa located in Kajuru LGA deserted their villages for safety. Presently, the District Head of Kufana and four of his village heads, on the directive the governor, have been summoned to Kaduna and ordered to produce persons behind ‘reprisal attacks’. However, the monarchs have told their interrogators that they are unaware of any ‘reprisal attacks’ and, therefore, unable to identify persons behind such attacks. Apart from the 11 corpses of Adara natives that were killed during the Sunday attack, the community leaders have denied knowledge of any attack.



Arising from the above, SOKAPU is shocked at the deliberate falsehood by el-Rufai who found it convenient not to inform the world of an earlier attack that claimed the lives of 11 Adara natives. SOKAPU is convinced that Governor el-Rufai is on an irrevocable journey of inflaming ethnic conflagration that has always been in line with his deliberate chronicle of profiling Southern Kaduna people as favourably disposed to violence.



We wish to inform Nigerians and the world that it has always been in the character of the governor to promote violence through spreading hate speech for the advancement of his waning political survival. If the governor, who was aware that Adara natives were killed on Sunday, neglected to come public, then Nigerians and the world are well placed to understand the nebulous and evil motives of el-Rufai who once shocked Nigerians on national television that he had paid whopping sums of money to foreign herdsmen involved in attacking communities in Southern Kaduna.



SOKAPU is calling on the Inspector General of Police and the Director of Department of State Service (DSS) to carry out an independent investigation and tell the world the truth of what actually happened in Kajuru. We are startled that it was the governor and not the police that announced the alleged killings in Kajuru. Let Nigerians and the world know that, should there be any breakdown of law and order in Kaduna state, Governor el-Rufai should be held responsible.



We wish to appeal to Kaduna state people to remain calm and not react to any form of provocation, including the current attempt to incite ethnic and religious brushfire. We call on our people, comprising diverse ethnic members of various religious persuasions, to be steadfast in our collective resolve to stand together and not allow ourselves to be divided by this divisive governor. We call on men and women of good conscience to condemn el-Rufai’s dastardly antics as he attempts to goad our state down the slippery slope of yet another round of unprecedented crisis.

Much of what Southern Kaduna Peoples Union (An annex of CAN) wrote/say is untrue, or atleast unsubstantiated. CAN continued effort to deny the grisly obvious was sinful, callous and cynical. They have been spectacularly ill-informed and incurious about the whole affairs by the Souther Kaduna Peoples Union. They appears to view this issue mainly as a means for partisan point-scoring and personal glory. CAN should emulate MURIC instead to remain apolitical and eschew insolence.

CAN is too big a body for u to disparage.
Elrufai has always been a terrorist and a jihadist like Buhari is known all over the world.
The reason US EU and UN are more interested in our 2019 election - s because a world renowned Islamic Terrorist is in charge of Nigeria presently.

Mr officialMuric, i am not only disappointed in Muric but also in you. Say it again that Muric is apolitical and i will tell all the useless press releases by Muric in support of Buhari and his clueless cabinets.
This is the first time of seeing a suppose religious body going cap in hand with a government that they knw have turn Nigeria into an extreme poverty capital.
Anything about APC you will see Muric. My problem is with people that give them online presence to say all this rubbish.
Inasmuch as CAN don't live upto to our expectations but Muric is a war merchant and no body shld give them listening ear.

El Rufai knows he has lost the elections already, the only way he can regain back lost grounds is to incite violence and hatred amongst the Muslims and Christian communities. These people have been living in peace all these years until this demonic power hungry midget came along.
Their stock in trade is lies and misinformation. They attack Christian villages then run online to blame the peaceful christian communities. Imagine a situation these ediots based in Lagos are running their mouths about something that didnt happen? Or are we not aware of how Elrufai single handedly plotted the mass killings of Shites in Kaduna?
Everybody but the Yoruba Christians knows that MURIC is the arrow head of the quest to Islamatize the Christian Yorubas who constitutes the larger population of Yorubas. Gradually they are enthroning the relatively minority Yoruba muslims over their majourity Chritain Yorubas, one would even think the Muslims are twice the numbers of the Christians not knowing its the other way around. The Christian Yorubas have failed to see what is going on, They cant see the gradual demonization and ridicule of every Yoruba Christian leader with divergent views in Yorubaland. Make no mistake about it, MURIC is an arm of fanatic islam movement. Shey we are warning Yoruba christians not to support Tinubu in his quest to implement the evil agenda of this people but it has so far fell on deaf ears. You people should brace yourselves for what is about to come in a couple of years, Shey una never learn anything from the sneak preview Aregbesola showed you guys in Osun? hahaha these naive bunch thinks Buhari and Tinubu came up with a pastor from arguably one of the largest pentecostal churches in Nigeria for nothing, una even believe the propaganda that Osibanjo will take over after Buhari, go and mark it, if Buhari succeeds in his evil plans (which wont even happen.) Osibanjo will recieve either the Ambode treatment or the more effective demonization.
Not worry folks, very soon una eyes, ears, and senses shall surely taste and enjoy the fire we in Southwrn kaduna are facing. You guys should keep foolishly helping your minority muslim counterparts stock up the flame that will consume you all.

You both are the same, what we all accused CAN of during Jonathan is what MURIC is doing today. Whether knowingly or unknowingly you have turned yourself to a APC spokesperson. I have not seen anywhere, where you condemned the killing of people by Fulani people, but whenever they kill Fulani's you are always the first to react.
A farmer was killed by Fulani herdsmen in Ekiti recently Sir, have not seen your statement on that.

I don't in any way support the killings but Allah enjoined us to be fair to everyone whether Muslims or Christians.

Almighty Allah says in Surat An-Nisa 4:135,
O you who believe, be persistently standing firm in
justice as witnesses for Allah, even if it be against
yourselves or parents and relatives. Whether one is
rich or poor, Allah is more worthy of both. Follow
not your desires, lest you not be just. If you distort
your testimony or refuse to give it, then Allah is
aware of what you do.

O you who believe, be persistently standing firm for
Allah as witnesses in justice, and do not let the
hatred of a people prevent you from being just. Be
just, for that is nearer to righteousness. Fear Allah,
for verily, Allah is aware of what you do.
Surat Al-Ma’idah 5:8
