The Muslim Rights Concern have tackled the President of Turkey, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan over his comments regarding the presence of Turkish terrorists in Nigeria. MURIC’s statement comes after Erdoğan claimed the terrorists who tried to carry out a coup in his country were present in Nigeria during his official visit to president Buhari on Thursday. The statement read in part, “We take the Turkish president’s allegation that there are Turkish terrorists in Nigeria with a pinch of salt. But that does not confer on him the right to label the opposition in his country as terrorists and to haunt them all over the place. “Neither should Erdogan’s humongous Muslim hero image becloud nor diminish MURIC’s commitment to protecting Allah-given fundamental human rights of Muslims in Nigeria, be it, individual or group.
