Group Gives Falz 7-day Ultimatum To Withdraw ‘This Is Nigeria’ Video

The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) has given rapper and actor, Falz, a seven-day ultimatum to withdraw his ‘This is Nigeria’ video and apologise to Nigerians or face legal action.

MURIC is offended at some girls dressed in hijab dancing ‘shaku shaku’ in the video.

Falz had earlier explained that the girls were a representation of the abducted Chibok girls still in Boko Haram captivity.

A statement released on Tuesday by MURIC’s director, Ishaq Akintola, however. said the dancers in the video in no way depict the situation of the girls kidnapped also describing the video as thoughtless, insensitive and highly provocative.

It also said the video is spiteful and intended to denigrate Islam and Muslims.

The statement read: “MURIC rejects Falz’ explanation that the girls in hijab in his ‘Shaku Shaku’ dance symbolize the Chibok girls because nothing in the video indicates that the girls represent the Chibok girls,” the statement read.
