The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) on Thursday urged the National Film and Video Censors Board (NFVCB) to immediately “investigate and place an immediate ban” on the yet-to-be-released movie where actress Nancy Isime wore an Islamic full covering called ‘The Niqab,’ and brandished dangerous weapons.

The group alleged that it this “depicts Muslim women as criminals and incites the public against them,” describing the movie as “Satanic”.

Executive Director of the MURIC, Professor Ishaq Akintola, said that the “new movie trending in Nigeria shows women in purdah brandishing dangerous weapons, robbing banks and committing other crimes,” is “satanic, repugnant and provocative.”

The full statement by Professor Akintola reads, “An extremely anti-Muslim film has been released into the Nigerian movie industry. The upcoming film which was recently unveiled by Nancy Isime shows women in purdah brandishing dangerous weapons and robbing banks. It is Islamophobia taken to the highest level. This film is satanic, repugnant, and provocative.

“It is aimed at portraying Muslim women as criminals with a violent proclivity. The film is capable of inciting the public against Muslim women. It may also expose Muslims in general to public ridicule and opprobrium.

“We believe that the film is the handiwork of Muslim-haters and part of the plot to stop Muslim women from wearing hijab and niqab. The plot was hatched a long time ago and its execution began in the schools. This plot was boldly and diligently confronted in Nigerian courts by Muslims until the highest court in the land made a pronouncement on it. This Satanic film is the latest effort in the war against hijab.

“This hate film is capable of setting Nigeria on fire if urgent action is not taken by the relevant authorities. We therefore call on the National Film and Video Censors Board (NFVCB) to investigate and place an immediate ban on the coming film.

“To Nigerian Muslims who have inundated our communication channels with video clips, voice notes and other types of messages, we have this to say: please remain calm and peaceful. You have spoken loud and clear. We have received your messages and action is being taken right now. Our religion brought a message of hope and peace to the world.

“We will not allow anyone to paint our women, our mothers, our wives, our daughters, and sisters in the colors of Shaytan. Be good ambassadors of Islam. Don’t take the law into your hands. Allow the authorities to take necessary action.”
