Again, MURIC denies link to terror group, demands apology from peddler of 'fake news'

Ishaq Akintola, director and founder of Muslim Rights Concern [Photo credit: Ishaq Akintola's Facebook page], on Wednesday, said it had uncovered the person who accused it of collecting money from a terrorist group, the Islamic State for West Africa Province .

MURIC director, Ishaq Akintola, described the allegation as illogical, saying that the group has always condemned every act of terror, whether it happened in or outside Nigeria. The MURIC head appealed to the federal government to investigate the source of the information, adding that the group has never been involved in any international activity.

The allegation by a fmr. Head of Intelligence of Mali that the Ishaq Akintola-led MURIC is funded by ISWA is grave. I call on the FG to investigate this matter &, if proved to be true, declare MURIC a terrorist org., ban it, prosecute its leaders &, if found guilty, hang them.His tweet read: “The allegation by a fmr. Head of Intelligence of Mali that the Ishaq Akintola-led MURIC is funded by ISWAP is grave.

There have been growing concerns about their terror attacks in North-eastern Nigeria and the Nigerian army’s capabilities to contain the attacks, just as the country battles security challenges in other parts. The International Crisis Group attributed ISWAP’s growing influence to the cultivation of support among local civilians by turning neglected communities into a source of economic support.
