MURIC Denies Receiving $200,000 From ISWAP |The Source

By Akinwale Kasali

Following accusations that the Muslim Rights Concern, MURIC, led by Prof. Ishaq Akintola, is receiving funds from the Islamic State of West African Province, ISWAP, the Group has vehemently denied such allegation.

ISWAP, a terrorist group, in, or outside Nigeria, has been terrorizing the region, maiming, killing, raping and destroying properties, and is named one of the most dreaded Insurgent groups in Africa.

MURIC’s Group Director, Prof. Ishaq Akintola, made the denial in a statement, saying it was a blatant lie targeted at destroying the image of the Group.

Akintola described the allegation as illogical, adding that the group  always condemned every act of terror.

The group said it was a wicked concoction from the pit of Jahannam, adding that it has never had any contact with ISWAP or any terrorist group.

We remain committed to the unity and indivisibility of Nigeria,” the organization director said.

“The motto of MURIC is ‘Dialogue, Not Violence’. So how can we descend so low as to collect money from terrorists? Such lies will not fly.

The terrorists themselves know that we can never support them. How can they give us money? The allegation is dead on arrival.

The group, therefore, appealed to the Buhari-led Government to investigate the source of the information.
