Islamic Religious Extremists In Ogun State, Yoruba Land, Stabs An Igbo Lady To Death
Today, we received the report of an Igbo woman identified as Mrs Blessing Eze who was stabbed to death by some Islamic religious extremists in Ogun State. The Extremists goes about collecting unlawful levies from traders for the June 6th Eid Mubarak prayers. It was gathered that the Islamic Extremists had Unlawfully taxed the Info market traders the sum of 1,500.00 Naira per shop for the Eid Mubarak prayers on June 6. When they stormed the market in collection of the money, it was in the morning and Mrs Blessing Eze told them that it is still morning and that she had not sold anything for the day. She told them to go and come back later but they refused and then began to destroy her goods. She then firmly buckled one and demanded that they pay for her goods they have destroyed. That was when they stabbed her. One of the Islamic Extremists collecting the unlawful levy quickly brought out a knife and stabbed the woman in the chest right in her shop, and she died.
For clarity sake, these extremists are Muslims but their act is criminally. That is why we called them extremists because we don't want to believe that they were sent from the mosque to go and extort or to go and kill people in the market, unless otherwise.
Extortion is a crime and no crime bypasses the punishment of the laws. When has Muslims started taxing people for Eid Mubarak prayers? And, why should people compulsorily pay you for your own prayers? Giving is by willingness, you don't force people to give to you. We believe that no true Islamic leader will send his people to go and force 1,500.00 Naira out of traders and to kill any trader who refuses to pay.
Mrs Blessing Eze did not refuse to pay, rather she told them to go and come back later that the time was still early for her to raise such an amount of money. But they refused and then killed her. This is how crimes are committed in Nigeria but the most painful thing is that when it is committed by Muslims against an Igbo person or against a Christian, justice will be denied.
If there would be no justice for this woman, then we might be left with the option to believe what people have been parading about that "Islam is a religion of violence". People have been saying this but we just don't want to believe it because inasmuch as we know that some Islamic worshipers are evil, there are many good ones in there who are not violent and this also extends to every other religions.
Fingers crossed, but the case of this woman will never be swept under the carpet just like that. We are demanding justice for her and, every Islamic person who believes that Islam is not a religion of "violence" must stand up for this woman's justice. All those involved in her death must be arrested and made to pay for the crime they committed. Of course, no payment will bring back the dead, but they must pay for it. It must not go like the case of Deborah Samuel.
