Muslim group slams Fayose over alleged attacks on filling stations

An Islamic body, Muslim Rights Congress MURIC has called on the Inspector General of Police, Ibrahim Idris, to stop those it referred to as Governor Fayose’s thugs from carrying out further attacks on homes and business premises of Muslims and other law-abiding residents of Ekiti State.

MURIC Director, Ishaq Akintola, in an online press statement made available to our reporter described the attacks on filling stations of a prominent Muslim businessman, Sulaiman Akinbami and other marketers as flagrant abuse of power to threaten law-abiding and peaceful citizens.

Akintola contended that every Nigerian citizen has the right to domicile in any part of the country urging the IGP to act immediately before an innocent man and most probably many others along with him are viciously crushed by a marauding and lawless governor.

He notes that the congress strongly condemns the impunity while calling on the Inspector General of Police to quickly intervene and restore law and order in the state and also demanding adequate protection for Akinbami and his property in the state.
