The Muslim Rights Concern on Tuesday advised security agencies in the country not to allow politicians to use them to achieve their political ambition.
The group gave the advice in a statement issued in Ibadan, Oyo State by its Director, Prof. Ishaq Akintola.
It also warned security agents not to be biased and partisan.
The group said the nation held the presidential and National Assembly elections on March 28 amid allegations of harassment and intimidation by law enforcement agents.
It said in the Tuesday statement: “Gubernatorial and State Assembly elections are to hold throughout Nigeria on April, 11, the security agencies should not allow themselves to be drawn into the murky waters of politics in future.
“We charge the National Assembly to compile reports of the maltreatment of voters throughout the country with a view to fishing out the culprits.
“Those found culpable must be taught lessons tough enough to deter a repeat by others in future. There must be respect for rule of law.
MURIC urged security agents to be above board and learn to obey only lawful commands.
“They must not allow themselves to be used by politicians,” MURIC said.
