Islamic human rights organization, Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC), has denounced Governor Nyesom Wike’s demolition of the Trans-Amadi Central Mosque in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.
The destruction of the place of worship occurred on Tuesday 20th August 2019. The Rivers State government demolished it.
MURIC condemned the act, calling it the most odious and insidious attack on an Islamic landmark in recent times.
Director of MURIC, Professor Ishaq Akintola, in a statement, made this known to the media on Monday the 26th of August, 2019.
This demolition exercise is illegal, unlawful and unconstitutional. It is an exhibition of gross, undiluted Islamophobia and the most odious and insidious attack on an Islamic landmark in that part of the country in recent times.
It is another evidence showing that established thugs have seized the reins of power in certain government houses in Nigeria.Ishaq Akintola – independent.ng
