MURIC Urges Caution Against Arresting Atiku Abubakar
The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) has issued a warning to the Federal Government regarding the potential arrest of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, who is the African Democratic Congress (ADC) presidential candidate for the 2027 general elections. This caution follows a petition to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for a renewed investigation into allegations of financial misconduct against Atiku from his time in office.
Prof. Ishaq Akintola, the Founder and Executive Director of MURIC, stated that any attempt to arrest Atiku at this juncture would lack tact and could send a detrimental message to Nigerians. He urged the Federal Government to proceed with caution, considering the upcoming elections, and warned against actions that might portray Nigeria unfavorably on the international stage.
MURIC emphasized the importance of adhering to due process to maintain public confidence in democratic institutions.
