A Non-Governmental Organization, Muslim Media Watch Group of Nigeria has raised security alarm over an audio circulating on the social media over a week now, released by an Igbo citizen threatening the lives of all Igbo Muslims in the South Eastern parts of Nigeria in particular and Nigeria as a whole.
A Press Statement issued today by the Group and signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Dr. Yusuf Agbabiaka, the Group challenged the Security Agencies in Nigeria especially the Nigeria Police, the Department of Security Services [DSS] the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps [NSCDC] and the Military Intelligence for not updating the citizens of this Country on what they have done to prevent the security threat to lives all the citizens of this Country as regards the circulating audio clips.
According to the statement, the broadcast of terror released by one Maazi Kanayo who introduced himself as the Speaker in the audio clips, gave a ‘matching order’ to all Igbo citizens to kill any Igbo Muslim they found as he even dictated the way he wanted them killed.
It noted that in the dangerous viral audio, circulating on the social media, Maazi Kanayo described Igbo muslims as agents of Fulani herders who took money from them to become muslims.
The Muslim Media Watch Group of Nigeria described the the circulating audio in the social media across the Country as criminal, inhuman and sacrilegious and called for immediate arrest and urgent prosecution of the broadcaster, Maazi Kanayo who want to set Nigeria ablaze with his religious and ethnic cleansing agenda capable of being bloodier than the last civil war in Nigeria.
The Group expressed no surprise why the Nation has been battling with insecurity for the past sixteen years stating that all sort of criminalities such as terrorism, insurgency, kidnapping and abduction for ransome payment, unknown gunmen attacks and banditry to mention a few graduated to higher proportional levels due to neglect and failures of our Security Agencies who have always failed to nip-in-the-bud early the emerging trend to insecurity in Nigeria.
The Group maintained that ideally, any of the Security Agencies mentioned in this Press Statement ought to have addressed the Nation that they have arrested Maazi Kanayo and how soon he would appear in court for threat to the lives of his Igbo brethren who are Muslims.
The Islamic Organization explained that the Nation’s Constitution that guarantees freedom of worship and freedom to change one’s religion is not an error.
MMWG, therefore called on the Inspector-General of Police, the Directors-General of DSS and NSCDC to brief the Nation on the whereabout of Maazi Kanayo who want to set the Nation on fire due to his tribal and religious fanaticism.
