We Will Meet You In Court – Falana To MURIC

Human rights activist and renowned lawyer, Femi Falana (SAN) has dared the Muslims Rights Concern, MURIC, to sue his rapper son, Folarin Falana popularly known as Falz, if they are aggrieved by his trending ‘This is Nigeria’ video.

MURIC had expressed their displeasure in strong term over the trending video of the ace musician, Falz, and had in their statement released, ordered him to take down the video because some girls were seen in the footage wearing hijab and dancing Shaku Shaku, a scene that, according to them, ridicules their religion.

They also threatened to take a legal action against the rapper after the expiration of the ultimatum given to him.

But reacting to the threat, Falz father, who is the renowned lawyer, Femi Falana, said in as much as freedom of speech is constitutionally guaranteed in the country, nobody has the right to threaten another person.

Falana said. “My son is a lawyer and I have confirmed that he’s handling the threat within the ambit of the law. The video in question contains a lot of messages and it should be encouraged by anybody who has the interest of our country at heart.

“Since the group has threatened to sue him or threatening to sue him. My son has promised that he would meet them in court. I support that decision.

“We all belong to this country, nobody can threaten another person. Freedom of speech is constitutionally guaranteed.

“If you are aggrieved as a result of any publication or record, the appropriate thing for you to do is to go to court. I’d hope that they will go to court at the expiration of the ultimatum given to my son.”
