Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Muslim Rights Concern, MURIC, has called on the federal government to ban a controversial film featuring actress Nancy Isime.<\/p>\n

Isime shared a poster of a yet-to-be-released movie titled \u2018Blood Brothers,\u2019 where she wore a niqab while holding a gun.<\/p>\n

Niqab is a long garment worn by Muslim women to cover their bodies and faces, excluding their eyes.<\/p>\n

However, the post provoked a gale of condemnation on the internet, with some Muslims expressing anger with the actress for wearing a niqab during a robbery scene in the movie.<\/p>\n

Reacting to the controversies, Ishaq Akintola, the director of the Muslim Rights Concern, MURIC, in a statement on Thursday, described the film as satanic.<\/p>\n

While calling on the National Film and Video Censors Board, NFVCB, to ban the movie, Akintola noted that it is an anti-Muslim film.<\/p>\n

According to him: \u201cAn extremely anti-Muslim movie has been released into the Nigerian movie industry. The upcoming film, recently unveiled by Nancy Isime, shows women in purdah brandishing dangerous weapons and robbing banks. It is Islamophobia taken to the highest level. The movie is satanic, repugnant and provocative.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is aimed at portraying Muslim women as criminals with a violent proclivity. And capable of inciting the public against Muslim women.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe believe that it is the handwork of Muslim haters and part of the plot to stop our women from wearing hijab and niqab.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe 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 the hijab.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis hate film is capable of setting Nigeria on fire if urgent action is not taken by relevant authorities. We therefore call on the NFVCB to investigate and place an immediate ban on the coming film.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo Nigerian Muslims who have inundated our communication channels with voice notes, video clips and other types of messages, please be calm and peaceful. You have spoken loud and clear. Allow the authorities to take necessary action.\u201d<\/p>\n
