MURIC Warns Against US Interference in Nigeria's Sharia Law, Citing National Security Concerns

The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) has cautioned against US interference in Nigeria's legal and religious systems, following calls by Dr. Ebenez Obadar to pressure Nigeria's President to ban Sharia law. MURIC's Executive Director, Professor Ishaq Akintola, emphasized that such actions could undermine national security efforts and exacerbate social tensions.

The organization expressed worries over perceived foreign meddling in Nigeria's affairs, particularly in relation to Sharia law. MURIC also criticized claims of a security breakdown and Christian genocide in Nigeria.

The situation highlights growing concerns among Nigerian Muslim groups regarding external influences on the country's legal and religious matters.
