The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC), an Islamic human rights organization, has reacted angrily to a video footage making the rounds where a Muslim was said to have denied employment in the collapsed 21-storey building in Lagos for being a Muslim, according to Daily Post.
A Muslim engineer identified as Sikiru Adebowale, who went for a job at the site of the building before it collapsed was said to have been turned down by the site developer and MURIC said this was a strong evidence of the alienation of Muslims in Yorubaland.

A video clip on YouTube shows Adebowale, a Yoruba Muslim, who said he had gone for a job interview with the developer of the building but was rejected for being a Yoruba Muslim.

Adebowale, who was said to have left the building few minutes before it collapsed told viewers that the developer had refused to employ him simply because he is a Muslim.

The video have received over a million views on YouTube and MURIC said it suspects that a few people will comprehend the implications therein.

MURIC in a statement signed by its director, Prof Ishaq Akintola and made available to reporters on Friday, congratulated Adebowale for escaping almost certain death.

“That video clip is an undeniable evidence of the alienation, marginalisation, improvisation and persecution of Yoruba Muslims by no other than their fellow Yoruba who happens to be Christians,” MURIC said.

“We urge those who do not believe us to review the video clip and listen to Mr. Sikiru Adebowale as he was being interviewed by a television station.

“He asked the applicant the name of the church he attended and the warmth melted like ice cream in the burning sun when the latter told him that he is a Muslim. As a result of this rejection, the applicant left the site in frustration. But the 21-storey building which was under construction collapsed one hour after he had left the site.

“While we congratulate Mr. Adebowale for escaping almost certain death or severe injuries, MURIC sympathises with the bereaved families, the injured victims and the Lagos State Government over this avoidable tragedy.

So that idiot is better than other Muslim faithful who died there
Or the Christians on site were not of God
Muric has been talking nonsense and no one is talking

R religion is our main problem

I wonder what exactly is wrong with this man.The corp member(the owner's private assistant) that died there, was she not a Muslim? The man might not have been hired because of incompetence and not because of his faith.

When will this mumuric man react to northern bandits?



Another useful idiot

I no wan talk

I thought religion is not an issue in the south west

There are some men that when a lady rejects them, they attribute it to the fact that they are poor, as if it is every lady a rich guy talks to that agrees to date him.

Men who have that kind of mentality actually carry around a dangerous psychological sickness. Ishaq Akintola and the young man making the denied because of religion claim withoit witnesses, seem to have that sickness. Only God can cure them.

Ode ni muric since day 1

MUMURIC never receive sense till date? I'm afraid Nigga might go to his grave a lifetime fool.
