Terrorism lie against Iran: Israel ambassador is somnambulating- MURIC
By Ali Baba-Inuwa
The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) has accused the ambassador of Israel to Nigeria of somnambulism. This was sequel to the ambassador’s allegation that Iran was behind terrorism in Nigeria. The group warned the ambassador to keep his tales by moonlight to the fairy angels in Tel Aviv and Washington.
MURIC’s comment was made in a statement circulated on Monday, 9th March, 2026 by its Executive Director, Prof. Ishaq Akintola.
“Israel’s ambassador to Nigeria, Michael Freeman, on Friday, 6th March, 2026 accused Iran of being behind terrorism in Nigeria.
“We reject Israel’s allegation totally, completely and categorically. This allegation is baseless, audacious and fallacious. Israel’s ambassador to Nigeria must have been somnambulating at the time he made the allegation.
“This is kettle calling pot black. Now we know sleep-walkers do not see clearly. Who is the terrorist between Israel and Iran? Who is the champion of state terrorism in the whole world? Who surrounded Gaza, denying the legitimate citizens food and water? Who has been engaging in targeted killing of Palestinian activists? Who assassinated Hamas leaders assembled for peaceful negotiations?
“Israelis have no moral right to accuse any nation of terrorism. The whole world knows that aggression is in Israel’s DNA and terrorism is a state dogma. Israel flaunts state assassinations and revels in seas of blood. Arrogance, impunity and international criminality are the values and norms that Israel promotes,” Akintola said.
He added: “As at March 6th, 2026, at least 75,227 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza since the 7th October invasion. Who killed them? 21,283 of these are children. More than 25,000 are women! 248 journalists are among those killed. 120 are university lecturers. Just a few days ago, Israel killed 165 girls in an Iranian school. What do we call that? Is it not a war crime?
“Lest the ambassador forgets, the November 21, 2024 warrant issued by the International Criminal Court (ICC) for the arrest of Benjamin Netanyahu and former Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza is still valid. The charges include using starvation as a weapon of war, murder and persecution. What else can we call state terrorism?
“To Michael Freeman, the Israeli Ambassador, we have this to say, ‘Keep your tales by moonlight to the fairy angels in Tel Aviv and Washington. You can railroad the White House. You can blackmail Arab leaders. Nigerians refuse to be hoodwinked. Sleep-walkers have no place here. Kudos to that journalist for shutting you up.”
