The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) has stated that it is unacceptable for Afenifere, the Yoruba socio-political group to compare Sunday Adeyemo, a youth leader better known as Sunday Igboho with Prophet Muhammad and Moses in the bible.<\/p>\n

Recall that Afenifere on Monday said there is nothing wrong with Igboho fleeing Nigeria because Moses ran away from Pharaoh and Prophet Muhammad fled his hometown to escape persecution.<\/p>\n

Igboho is standing trial at the Cour De\u2019appal De Cotonou after his arrest at Cardinal Bernardin International Airport, Cotonou<\/a>, Benin Republic.<\/p>\n

He was declared wanted by the Department of State Services (DSS) after his Ibadan house was raided and he fled the country.<\/p>\n

Reacting to Afenifere’s comments via a statement issued on Tuesday, the MURIC<\/a> director, Ishaq Akintola said the circumstances that made Prophet Muhammad migrate are different from the travails of Igboho.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is totally unacceptable. It is not only sacrilegious but outrageous and audacious. Afenifere has manifested categorical desertification of discernibility coupled with an alarming height of tramadolised hero-worshipping. It is provocative, preposterous, repugnant and nauseating,\u201d Akintola said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe circumstances surrounding the migration of Prophet Muhammad in 622 C.E. to Madinah differ a lot from those that sent Igboho to Benin Republic in July 2021.<\/p>\n

\u201cMuhammad was invited to Madinah by the Madinese whereas Igboho was not invited by the people of Cotonou. Muhammad was a prophet of God, Igboho is not. Muhammad\u2019s constituency is the whole world while Igboho\u2019s activities are restricted to south-western Nigeria.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was therefore an exercise in excessive exaggeration for Afenifere to have compared Igboho to a universal prophet whose followers in their billions spread across all the continents and countries of the world.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis, to say the least, is an attempt to diminish the immense popularity of Prophet Muhammad, whittle down the influence of Islam on the world as a whole and trivialise the essence of the Abrahamic faiths.\u201d<\/p>\n

The MURIC director said all the Yoruba Muslims who support the clamour for a Yoruba nation should retrace their steps.<\/p>\n

\u201cMURIC calls on all Yoruba Muslims who are supporting the Yoruba nation agenda to retrace their steps with immediate effect if indeed they believe in Allah and in Prophet Muhammad as the last prophet. We will not follow those who deride our prophet,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo true Muslim will do that. They know the eschatological consequences. Any Muslim who fails to withdraw his support for the Oduduwa Republic campaign after Afenifere insulted Prophet Muhammad will be held accountable by Allah yaom al-Qiyamah (on the Day of Judgement).<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is not a fatwah. Rather, it is a fundamental teaching of Islam that Muslims must withdraw their support from those who malign their faith.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
