The Muslim Rights Concern, MURIC, has asked Islamic organisations across the country to report any suspicious donations or strange movements in their environments to the security agencies immediately.
MURIC gave this advice in view of the recent terror alert made by the Department of State Service and the Nigeria Police Force.
The DSS and the Police had earlier raised an alarm over planned attacks by some terrorists, but MURIC in its reaction, advised all Muslims and Islamic organisations in the country to be more vigilant.
MURIC Executive Director, Professor Isiaq Akintola in a statement made available to DAILY POST on Tuesday, enjoined Islamic organasations and individuals to be wary of strange faces at their gatherings.
He added that precautionary steps should be taken by all and sundry.
Akintola advised Muslims and Islamic organisations not to entertain any unknown faces in their environments and to dispose any bag or luggage found inside or around the mosque immediately and report suspicious persons to the police.
”Islamic organizations and individuals must be wary of strange faces at their gatherings. People carrying bags and baggage, especially back-packs, must not be allowed into mosque premises.
“Mosques must up their vigilance. Entertain no unknown faces even if their turbans carry the stamps of Saudi Arabia and Iran altogether. No sleep-over should be allowed in the mosques. Most importantly, dispose of any bag or luggage found inside or around the mosque immediately. They must also report suspicious persons to the police even if such person or persons pray with them in the same mosque.”
