MURIC Gives Reasons Why It Will Not Support #EndSARS Protest––The leader of the Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) has asserted that the group will stand behind gallant police officers, despite the ongoing nationwide campaign against their brutality in Nigeria.
In his statement, MURIC leader ishaq Akintola told the youths that not all operatives of the now defunct SARS are callous and vicious as they claimed.
He also stated that the #EndSARS protest should not be politicised or turned to a means of achieving a narrow objective
He said:
“To all serving policemen and women, especially those who have consistently exhibited uncommon gallantry, chivalry, sacrifice and courtesy, we rise above the angry crowd to appreciate you today.”
“We remind #EndSARS protesting youths that not all SARS operatives are callous and vicious,’’ he said against sweeping generalisation. “It is our considered opinion that generalisation will not be fair to such officers who have served Nigeria well.”
“It is tantamount to hijacking a cause and diverting the people’s sentiment to a narrow and selfish objective.
“The Nigeria Police must up its game and ditto for the licencing authorities.
“We cannot afford to remain pedestrian in a jet age’’.
