Islamic advocacy group, the Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC), has told the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), to ‘stop playing God’ and meddling in affairs that concerns Muslims in the country following CAN’s criticism of the closure of schools during Ramadan in four Northern states.
In a reaction to the criticism by the Christian body in a statement on Tuesday by its Executive Director, Professor Ishaq Akintola, MURIC accused CAN of double standard for allegedly ‘encouraging a breach of the rights of Muslims who are in the majority in South Western Nigeria while pretending to protect Christian children who are an infinitesimal minority in the North.’
The Islamic body called on CAN to mind its business and stop interfering in matters that do not concern Christians and christianity as the closure of schools by the four states is the prerogative of the government of those states.
