MURIC condemns killings of Muslim travelers in Jos, calls for immediate arrest and prosecution of those responsible

The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) has condemned the killings of Muslim travelers in Jos and called for the immediate arrest and prosecution of those responsible for the attack. 

 

At least 22 travellers were killed along the Gada-Biyu – Rukuba road area of Jos, the Plateau state capital on Saturday, August 14. They were about  50 traveling in a convoy of 5 hummer buses when they were attacked. 22 of them were killed while others sustained serious injuries. 


In a statement issued by MURIC director Ishaq Akintola on Sunday August 15, he called for the immediate arrest and prosecution of those responsible for the killing.


“MURIC condemns this massacre in the strongest terms. It is barbaric,” said MURIC director Ishaq Akintola made the call on Sunday in a statement, demanding that they be rounded up.


“We reject the crocodile tears and lies of Governors Lalong of Plateau and Akeredolu of Ondo State who claimed that the attack was a case of mistaken identity. This excuse is the first sign of executive conspiracy. It is a shame that Akeredolu will trivialise the massacre of citizens of his own state simply because the victims happen to be Muslims.


He added, “Lalong’s body language makes it difficult for us to trust him. He will sweep this case under the carpet at the first opportunity because his kinsmen are the culprits and he has a history of covering up their crimes. The killing of General Alkali is still fresh in our memory, particularly the attempt at a coverup, the comedy at the pond and the eventual intervention of the governor who ran to army headquarters to beg for forgiveness.

    Hahhahahah. Laughable! Christians have been slaughtered like chickens for years under this regime, yet, no Muslim ever condemned the action. What a wow!

    It's banditry attack which is not a crime. This same thing is happening in Kaduna on daily basis and they're left to sorrow and bury their own. I'm just surprised that bandits should be arrested and prosecuted 🙄🙄

    Muslims give you a pill they cannot swallow. Watch and see the promptness they'll handle this matter. Over the years, there have been sacking and killing of Christians and their communities by the marouding herdsmen with no condemnation or action from them. When Christian girls are forcefully kidnapped, raped and converted to Islam no body says anything. They're showing us a chibok girl that came home with 2 children and a hijab without minding how we feel. This singular incident is bringing out all sorts of reactions from these blood thirsty demons. There's no justice in Islam. Damn it!

      Oga i have been saying it. MURIC man is a trojan horse from the caliphate. These guys are good with long term strategic planning. The idea is to divide you from the inside. before you know it there toxic brand of islam will dominate the good nature islam yoroba are known for. Using state power, the will empower their stooges and the rest will be history from there.

    Does it matter if they are Muslims or Christians? They were simply unarmed and law abiding Nigerians who died in the hands of bandits. Let us come together and defeat them. I am at lost to the reason why Governor Akeredolu will be involved negatively in this attack. Let those in position of influence and authority became of their utterance because of large followers who may take unfavourable actions .

    The era fulani caliphate called Nigeria uses Islamic religion as political instrument to keep this territory natives who are Muslims under fulani rulership is over and gone forever. We this territory natives who owns the land have defeated 1804 fulani caliphate with its emirates the way we defeated 1914 amalgamation of British bandits in 1960. We're now the government over our God given native lands in which the six geopolitical zones are sovereign states. Hausa people, Kanuris etc. of the north will be traditional rulers, religious leaders, political office holders etc. over their God given native lands under their sovereign states. Southern natives will have democratic capacity under their sovereign states to fix their lands, economies. Natives of the six geopolitical zones under interim governments of their sovereign states, must establish embassy in Russia Federation etc. of Southern Countries Union now to coordinate military and diplomatic operations for their sovereign states. Defeated fulani criminals must find their way back to Guinea- dead or alive in this 2021 the way defeated British bandits find their way back to Britain in 1960. Only the Sword decides.

    I think it's OK if we condemn killing, but condemning killing ONLY because the people affected are of your faith is not good enough. Even before we became Christians or Muslims, we were human first. Why can't we just fight together and condemn these incessant killings. I am a Christian, but I don't support killing of any human irrespective of tribe, race, status or religion.

    When they attacked Christians first nobody said anything now they have received what they dish and they can’t handle it How long will the Christians be silent and continue to die I don’t support unprovoked violence but the real fact is that they started it first and the truth is not been told

  21. I KNOW NO LIMIT

    This bandit in disguise will always come out whenever he needs attention. I did not really know your stand in this country. Seems like the last knot in your head is lossen rapidly .

    I wonder what is so special about this plateau killings that everybody is issuing statements left and right. Meanwhile there are killings in different parts of the zoo every day without any statements being issued. Are some killings allowed and others not? The zoo is a difficult place to understand.

    The name Ishaq Akinyola is Yoruba but obviously I don’t think this man is from SW He is just like Femi Adeshina. The director of Muric is nothing but a mumu. Why is has he been quiet on other killings going on in the country? If a home is sweet, expect the opposite when the bastard of such home grows

  36. Sagacious

    I am shocked at the statement by the MURIC director.While I join other well-meaning Nigerians to condemn the killings,irrespective of who the victims are,I fail to understand the basis for the attack on the two Governors,who have done the best they could to stop the escalation of the crisis.People in authority should always exercise caution when reacting to sensitive national issues.God heal our land.
