An Islamic rights group, Muslim Rights Concern, MURIC, has condemned the Wednesday attack on the office of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, in Abuja by some gunmen.

Describing the act as a cowardly act by corrupt Nigerians who would stop at nothing to frustrate the ongoing war against corruption, MURIC said all security agencies must have all hands on deck to unveil those behind the act and bring them to book.

In a statement by its president, Professor Ishaq Akintola, MURIC called on Nigerians to renew their commitments to the war against corruption.

The statement reads in part:  “MURIC calls for a strong response to this cowardly act. All arms of the Nigerian security agencies have a duty to unveil the identity of the hoodlums and their sponsors.

“EFCC headquarters and other offices must be well fortified from now on with quick-response squads on permanent standby.

“We charge Nigerians to renew their commitment to the war against corruption. This is a war between light and darkness, a struggle between truth and falsehood, a tussle between good and evil.

“There must be no retreat, no surrender. We must not allow agents of darkness to overwhelm EFCC. It is about our future and the destiny of generations yet unborn.

“To this end, we commend the resilience, steadfastness and outstanding courage of the duo of President Muhammadu Buhari and the Acting President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo. In particular, we appreciate their refusal to succumb to undue pressure from the NASS, their iron-cast political will to prosecute the war against corruption, their personal sacrifices and their commitment to prudence.

“As we round up, we urge the Inspector General of Police (IGP) and the Director General of the Department of State Security (DSS) to rise to the occasion, accept the challenge thrown by the attackers and bring them to book within a reasonable time.

“The personal safety of EFCC operatives must be guaranteed and this is the responsibility of our security agencies. Only thus can they be able to concentrate on their special assignments. Only thus can confidence be restored in the< ability of the Federal Government to effectively prosecute the war against corruption.”
