 “It is satanic” – MURIC requests for ban of movie where actresses wore Niqab


The Muslim community of Nigeria has voiced displeasure following the release of a movie poster depicting actresses robbing a bank while wearing Niqabs.


Muslims vowed to submit a complaint with Meta, Facebook and Instagram’s parent company, seeking action against the account guilty for spreading what they characterized as “Islamophobic content” after the movie poster was uploaded on Facebook.


A Facebook user called Latifat Adewunmi Jumah blasted the film, saying, “The niqab/hijab is not an armed robbery attire! The niqab/hijab is not an attire for concealing identity.”


She said,  “If you needed to conceal your identity for a perfect robbery role, you could have used a nose mask or worn a mask. Why wear Islamic attire?


“I find it offensive. Something must be done to stop these folks. “Niqab/Hijab is neither a costume nor a joke.”


Another Facebook user, identified as Alfa Shehu, wrote,  “And one of our brothers from Ilorin is kuku in the movie with them. Hypocrites! It is these same people who will turn around tomorrow and say women in Niqab are doing this and doing that. Awon alarun opolo gbogbo. Anything for clouts and monetisation.”


The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) has weighed in.


On Thursday, July 25, the group issued a statement signed by MURIC’s Executive Director, Professor Ishaq Akintola, calling for the ban on the yet-to-be-released film.


MURIC labeled the film “satanic,” claiming that it portrays Muslim women as criminals and incites the public against them.


The statement read, “An extremely anti-Muslim film has been released into the Nigerian movie industry. The upcoming film 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.
