MURIC Reacts As Outrage Over Flogging Of Islamic School Students Mounts
The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) has urged Muslims in Kwara State and the general public to desist from jumping to conclusions on the viral video in which students of an Arabic school were severely beaten.
The call from MURIC came as outrage over the incident continued to mount among concerned Nigerians.
The founder and director of MURIC, Professor Ishaq Akintola in a statement said:
“While we regard the punishment meted to the students as too harsh, we maintain that the action of the school authorities should not be judged in isolation. The fact that the parents requested the school to discipline their children must not be ignored.
Please watch:
“MURIC is also in possession of another video in which the students confessed that they engaged in shameful and unIslamic actions, namely, visiting a club, drinking alcohol, bathing themselves with alcohol, etc. These are horrible acts in which ordinary Muslims must not be involved.
