MURIC kicks as RCCG allegedly bars Muslim from redemption camp, demands prompt intervention.

The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) has expressed displeasure over denial of Muslims entrance to facilities and institutions inside the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) camp on Lagos-Ibadan expressway by the church.

The Islamic group is alleging that Muslims are not allowed into the redeem camp to transact business in their banks or to check their WAEC, JAMB and other examination centres.

The MURIC Director, Prof. Ishaq Akintola, who said this on Monday, also demanded the relocation of examination centres from the RCCG camp.

“Our office has been inundated with complaints from Nigerian Muslims who have been denied access into the Lagos-Ibadan expressway camp of the RCCG.

Among the complainants are Muslims who registered for the Joint Admissions Matriculation Board (JAMB), the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) as well as other examinations.

Attempts by the candidates to enter the RCCG camp in order to check their examination centres are always rebuffed by RCCG security men who turn them back at the gates with clear messages that Muslims are persona non grata inside the camp.

“The second group of Muslims who are not allowed to enter are those who opened bank accounts in some of the banks located inside the camp like Eco Bank, Unity, Guaranty Trust Bank, FCMB, United Bank for Africa, Zenith and Access Bank. This ugly trend has been on for quite some time but the complaints have increased in number recently,” Akintola said.

According to him, the development is distasteful and disturbing and that it is interesting to note that this kind of stereotyping with Muslims as the victims is happening in Yorubaland.

“It is even more interesting to note that those behind this obnoxious practice are Yoruba Christians while the victims are Yoruba Muslims. Those who talk about religious tolerance being rampant in Yorubaland have therefore missed the point.

“But the difference is the case in matters concerning religion where they operate as Christian or Muslim groups or as corporate entities. The same Christian teacher who lives in the same house with many Muslims without any problem is the same teacher who will snatch the hijab from the head of a female Muslim student in the school.


“Simply put, there is no religious tolerance in Yorubaland. That is the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

“The RCCG camp saga cited above is one good example. RCCG has used opportunities at its disposal to build a big camp on Lagos-Ibadan expressway. It has also equipped the camp with necessary infrastructural facilities including a university, schools, clinics, banks, residential houses.

“MURIC acknowledges the right of RCCG to do all these but at the same time members of the public should be given access to them. Failure to allow that access robs RCCG of an important quality and role in social relations, namely, neighbourliness and service to the people. Afterall many other entities have such facilities and keep them open to the public.

“As a way forward, we demand, first and foremost, the relocation of all public examination centres from the RCCG camp. This camp should be delisted by WAEC, JAMB, NECO and other examination bodies for practising religious apartheid.

“Any individual or institution that applies to examination bodies to host examinations must give access to the public, particularly the candidates. Anything to the contrary is arbitrary and alien to the culture of education. A situation whereby candidates of a particular religion are shut out of the premises of the examination venue is unfair, unjust and unacceptable by any standard.

“We advise Muslims to stop going inside the RCCG camp. It is private property where Muslims are not welcome. Muslims residing in the vicinity should patronise banks and other business concerns located outside the camp.

However, we warn that banks and other business concerns located within RCCG camp may start losing their Muslim customers if they continue within RCCG camp. Our advice to the banks id to engage RCCG authorities in dialogue on this matter,” Akintola said.

RCCG is yet to react to MURIC’s claim.

Are there no other banks to go for your transactions.....
Must it be there?

I'm not a Muslim, but sometimes they use to overdo, sometimes they won't allow outside to use ATM on sunday, they we asked you to come next day, outside can not go in with nicker, and my going there is just because of ATM. Na Dem sabi!!!! P.O.S agent don take me as regular customer.

Muric get problem

Lol

Private institution are like that. They're strict. Even jabbuu won't allow you inside (Christian, Muslim or anyone). Except you have a purpose or you're a staff. (Best thing is to use other bank ATM outside.

None Muslims can't can enter a mosque ?
Can a Christian enter the city of Mecca ?

And you believe MURIC? That was a dog whistle.

Those institutions (Banks, WAEC, JAMB etc) MURIC mentioned have hundreds of Muslims working there as staff and management hence there's no way Muslims can be profiled.

I suspect he sent terrorists to surveil the premises and they were caught.

No difference between tribal Yoruba and fanatic Muslims.

They are the same extremists.
Hatred runs through their veins.

Terrorists method:
Wailing and crying foul over non existent issues to attract unnecessary apathy to justify their continued and known wickedness and gross maltreatment of others!
What a religion of peace!
Lies and distorted truths are their trademark. Muric is the accuser and the judge.
Believe them at your own peril.
Facilities in RCCG Redemption Camp is enjoyed by the citizens equally, irrespective of religion.
But, rules apply, because of security and uniqueness of the City, irrespective of who you are.

I don't even reason am, I don dey use P.O.S

So for a Muslim to go to church is no longer haram

Mumuric should set up POS and business centers for their Allah Akbar people.

RCCG facilities are not public facilities but private. MURIC stop looking for trouble when there is none. I guess Muslims will not tolerate christains coming to do otherwise in their place of worship. Bloody hypocrites!

Go and open bank for them in your father's land.

They will come to the camp and be erecting mini mosque. It's unacceptable.

Are you related to daru Dapo

No mind Muric

We don't even have religion tolerance is this country. What is going on?

As far as I'm concerned, MURIC has a sinister interest in that Redemption Camp property if not, even they know their allegations are useless and baseless

I don't believe this. The RCCG is a missionary and evangelical organization. How can they segregate against Muslims for whom Christ died? Don't Muslims need the hospitality of Christians and the gospel? By the way, apart from the ladies who usually put on hijab and the men who go about with tesbil, how can the security officials in RCCG identify a Muslim from other people?

That muric of a man is a joke. He always looks for ways to cause trouble among the peaceful people.
Those that claimed they denied them access how did they dress. You don't expect a woman that dressed in hijab or in purdah to be allowed to enter a church premises likewise a woman that wear trousers or that does not cover her head to enter a mosque

This is a pure lie from the Liar (Muric). Since time memorial the camp ground as always being open for anyone. I repeat anyhow.

But the truth is the Muslims women or ladies will come with their long hijabs, having no iota of respect for the camp rules.

These can't be allowed by Muslims in their camps.

If the facilities are owned and run by the church, muslims and non members should stay clear.
Zakat and tax covers those and not tithe.

Na everyday dem dey write jamb and waec for the camp? He is even threatening the bank that the Muslim customer would stop patronizing them ,this Prof akintola na mad man.

Without prejudice, sentiment or bigotry, I see NOTHING wrong in this declaration.

It's not by force to allow Muslims into the center but public institutions should be moved away from it.

Do you work there to have laid this claim?

He acknowledged that, but do you think public institutions should be sited in such venue?

You're biased 50 years old man

RCCG is very wary of suicide bombers especially on days when high-profile individuals are expected on camp.
Muric should stop complaining when Christians take precautions to protect themselves against potential terror attacks!
It only prove you as the Chief Suspect!
Owo massacre is still fresh in our minds!
