Falz's Song: Another Muslim Group Defends Falz, MURIC Insisted
This was obtained via our social media platforms
Ishaq Akintola, the director of The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) has said the organisation would still take legal action against Folarin ‘Falz’ Falana, if he fails to withdraw his ‘This is Nigeria’ video on the expiration of the seven days ultimatum.
Speaking exclusively to PREMIUM TIMES on June 8, Mr. Akintola, a professor, gave reasons for its demands.
PT: Falz’s management team has said that it won’t pull down the video but would rather meet MURIC in court. What does your organisation have to say to this?*
Akintola : We don’t need to react to that again because we’ve made our stance known. We told the world what we’ll do, we’ll go to court. Unfortunately, some Nigerians will not face the fact; they’ll not respect the rule of law.
There are people who will because they are provoked by a production, go to the street, fighting, breaking bottles, breaking windscreen. We are civilised people, we are peace-lovers, law-abiding Nigerians, people who have respect for the rule of law, we have decided to go to court and a lot of Nigerians think that it is just too much.
PT: Your ultimatum expires on June 12, do you see Falz apologising or pulling down the video before then?*
Akintola : I don’t know. We don’t have a problem, we have told Falz what we’ll do, if we like, we can go to court at the end of the ultimatum, if we like, we can defer it for three or even seven years.
The video is eternal, we’re not in a hurry and there are other steps that can be taken. There is a government in this country, there is a system, if the system worked such video should not be in circulation.
There are other options we can explore. Falz is a young man, he is like my own son and I don’t have to ‘push’ him.
PT: Are you aware that another group, Muslim Against Terror has defended Falz? They say MURIC does not have an understanding of veil usage.
Akintola : Let me also tell you that we have hears
