The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC)
has reacted to the revelation by Hon. Ahmed Maje, a member of the House of
Representatives, that politicians were behind the killings in Plateau State.
A statement issued on Monday by
its director, Professor Ishaq Akintola, expressed concern over the disclosure
and called for federal government’s immediate action.
It read: “This is a matter
concerning security of lives and properties. The precious lives of our people
are being wasted as if they are mere flies or cockroaches. It is callous,
insensitive and inhuman. Hon. Maje’s claims must be investigated immediately.
We suggest that a powerful commission of inquiry must be instituted for this
purpose.
“The revelation is quite
disturbing. Reference has been made to four missing containers. The four
containers were traced to the house of a politician in Plateau State. Further
investigations revealed that the containers were imported from an Israeli
company which manufactures arms.
“There is more to six than seven.
Even a six year old can deduce a connection between the four missing containers
with arms which were traced to the house of a politician in Plateau State and
other arms-laden containers which were intercepted by customs in various
boarders.
“By extension, a link may be
established between stories of containers seized at the nation’s boarders and
the aircraft of the former president of the Christian Association of Nigeria
(CAN), Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor, which was seized in South Africa in 2014 after a
failed attempt to purchase arms in that country
“With hindsight, we can see that
those weapons were never meant for the Nigerian military but were part of the
grand plot to arm some killer militia but Jonathan’s government simply gave
Oritsejafor a coverup. A neatly packaged plot to train and arm militiamen in
several Nigerian states is emerging from this scenario.
“It means that we have been
living with killers all along and walking in the shadow of death. These people
have prepared very well. They were only moving from state to state to execute
their diabolical plot. The leakage of this deadly plot can be adduced to
Allah’s response to the prayers of innocent Nigerians.
“Thinking aloud, we doubt if
several trips made by former President Goodluck Jonathan to Jerusalem in
company of some religious leaders were actually what we were made to believe or
sheer hocus pocus designed as covers for the same grand plot, namely, a
clandestine importation of large cache of weapons from Israel. We say this
because the last time we checked, two plus two still gave us four. Those trips
were too regular for comfort and they may have given official government cover
for anything.
“This may have been responsible
for the unusual push of a section of religious leaders to remove President
Muhammadu Buhari from power as well as the several feverish rush for protests
against killings organized by CAN. Are those protests intended as coverups? Are
some religious leaders panicking? Has the wind blown? Are we going to see the
ruff of the hen very soon?”
“Maje mentioned a report
submitted to government. We need to know which government? Was he referring to
this Buhari regime, that of Jonathan, Yaradua or Obasanjo? Again, when was this
report submitted? Where are copies of the report? It is only after we have
answers to these questions that we can know whether or not Maje’s claim has merit”.
