Emporium Reporters

As a young man, who grew up in the North, I had thought that only notable northern politicians identify with the masses and the downtrodden by attending their functions and ceremonies, especially naming, house warming, marriages and the likes.

RE-ALLEGED LINKING MURIC WITH TERROR GROUPS.

Emporium Reporters

We notice with keen dismay the alleged collection of funds and eventual working in tandem with Boko Haram and Islamic State of West Africa (ISWAF) terror groups. According to the information, it was insinuated that MURIC Director was to be arrested and prosecuted.

This informed position results from the periodic publication of the organization’s treasury situation which is often followed with appeal for sponsor. Aside that,…
