The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) has warned the Federal Government against arresting former Vice President Atiku Abubakar over renewed allegations of financial misconduct. The warning follows a petition to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) seeking a fresh probe into allegations from Atiku's tenure as Vice President, as well as concerns raised by former Senator Dino Melaye. In a statement, MURIC Founder and Executive Director Prof. Ishaq Akintola said any move against Atiku, the African Democratic Congress (ADC) presidential candidate for 2027, would lack tact and send the wrong signal. MURIC cautioned that such an attempt would be impolitic and show impunity.
