The Muslim Right Concern, MURIC has expressed concern over news accredited to the minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike against his planned security deal with Israeli security experts in Abuja and environs. Leader of the MURIC, Prof. Ishaq Akintola made the call yesterday Thursday in a statement saying that Wike’s move was a wrong calculation.
Akintola argued that the state of Israel cannot be trusted with the security of Nigerians as the country itself is a threat to other countries on the global stage.
His statement partly reads; “Israel commits wanton human rights violations. It has no respect for people of other faiths. Nor does it believe in the comity of nations. We like to warn that such collaboration with the state of Israel will exacerbate Nigeria’s security problem by escalating it from a local crisis to an international fracas engineered by MOSSAD (Israel’s secret spies) with the likelihood of Nigeria becoming the centre of rivalry for global espionage outfits like the American CIA and the Russian SVR and FSB,” Akintola said.
Muric leader recalled that Wike when he was Rivers State governor exhibited far-right Christianity and declared Rivers a Christian state.
He noted therefore, “We believe that Wike is now courting the Israelis because, like most Nigerian Christians, he holds the wrong notion that Israel is a Christian state whereas the reverse is the case. Several instances confirm that the only religion Israel recognizes and respects is Judaism.”
He noted that recently, some Jews in Israel spit on Christian pilgrims in Jerusalem, while a TikTok video clip that appeared a few weeks ago showed Jews calling Christians idol worshippers, apart from other forms of attacks against Christians.
