Are Nigerian Christian Journalists polarising war against looters?


National Publicity Secretary of People's Democratic Party (PDP), Olisa Metuh in handcuffs before he was released on bail.

A statement credited to a group known as Nigerian Association of Christian Journalists (NACJ) over a Muslim group's comment on President Muhammadu Buhari’s anti-corruption war calls for caution on the part of the journalsits to avoid polarising the ongoing war against looters along religious line.


NACJ has been quoted by Punch as responding to a statement recent issued by the Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC). The Secretary General of NACJ, Charles Okhai, said, “Our attention is drawn to the statement issued by the Muslim Rights Concern on January 25, 2016 in Premium Times, calling on President Muhammadu Buhari to shun calls for the release of former public officials who are currently undergoing various corruption charges and put a limitation to the rule, while prosecuting looters of public funds. This is barbaric and insulting to our national integrity."
 
New Eko wonders and asks NACJ: “what is  barbaric and insulting to our national integrity”?, as regards statement by MURIC.


It would also be interesting to know the content of a statement issued by NACJ (if any) in response to the the DasukiGate since the scandal blew up.
