MURIC cautions Nigerians about a false statement being circulated today Wednesday 27th June, 2018 purportedly from the Fulani National Movement (FUNAM) and dated 25/6/18.

The statement which was signed by Badu Salisu Ahmadu and Umar Amir Shehu made sweeping and alarming claims and threats against perceived enemies of the Fulani people.

MURIC can confirm that the statement is fake. FUNAM president has just refuted the statement in a radio program in Abuja.

Please disregard this highly explosive statement. It is one of the handiworks of enemies of the Nigerian state. It is another proof that disgruntled politicians, looters under trial and their agents are fueling the killings in different parts of Nigeria.

We urge all citizens to remain calm and law abiding. We advise citizens to go about their normal businesses.

Nigeria shall overcome by the Grace of Allah.
