MURIC Orders Falz To Withdraw Video Showing Muslim Girls Dancing ‘Shaku-Shaku’


LAGOS JUNE 6TH (NEWSRANGERS)-Falz may be facing legal actions for his video ‘This Is Nigeria’ as The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) has asked him to withdraw the video and apologize to Nigerians.
In the recently released video, some girls dressed in hijab were seen dancing the “shaku shaku” dance.
Responding to criticisms that trailed the video, Falz explained that the girls were a representation of the abducted Chibok girls still in Boko Haram captivity. But MURIC, in a statement by Ishaq Akintola, its director said the dancers in the video in no way depict the situation of the girls. The group also condemned,“a character that dressed like a Fulani man, who suddenly abandoned his traditional guitar and beheaded a man”
Describing the video as “thoughtless, insensitive and highly provocative,” MURIC said it could brew religious and ethnic crisis. It also said the video is spiteful and intended to denigrate Islam and Muslims.
“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.
“At least none of the Chibok girls have been seen dancing like a drunkard. They are always in pensive mood. Do they have any cause to be dancing? Are they happy? “The video manifests ethnic bias against Fulanis while it ignored the criminal activities of an ethnic militia of the Middle Belt who have also massacred Fulanis and rustled their cattle in their thousands.
“It is a hate video. This video has the potential of causing a religious crisis of unprecedented dimension.”
