Muslim Woman Assaulted By Pastor For Not Accepting Christ by Hmajeed(m): 3:18am On Aug 19, 2016
Following a report by the iWitness NG over the
alleged beating of a Muslim lady by a preacher
with Winners Chapel, the Police Division at Moore,
Ile-Ife has invited the parties involved.
The iWitness NG gathered that the Divisional
Police Officer invited the preacher including her
pastor and the allegedly assaulted Muslim lady
with the Imam of the community, Samshudeen
Toliah and Chairman of the community, Alhaji
S.O. Balogun.
They were invited for a meeting on Tuesday at the
Police Division in Moore.
During the meeting, it was learnt that the Muslim
faithful asked the police to ensure proper
documentation of the case.
It was also gathered that the Muslim lady
assaulted, identified as Shakira, was absent at the
meeting with the DPO.
Earlier, the Osun State Police Command confirmed
that a case of a preacher with the Winners Chapel
Church beating a Muslim lady for refusing to
accept Jesus was reported at its Moore Division
on Saturday evening.
The confirmation was made by the Police Public
Relations Officer of Osun Command, Ajibade
Egbedele, during a telephone conversation on
Monday evening.
Ajibade said, “The community head and DPO
already intervened and the issue has been
amicably resolved.”
When our correspondent also visited the church
where the preacher came from at Winners Chapel
Ajebamdele, Ile-Ife, the pastor said, “We have
resolved the matter. The issue was between two
females and the preacher didn’t know initially that
she was talking to a Muslim,” he said.
On her part, the preacher said, “In every rumour,
there must be an element of truth. But it is not all
what they said happened that really happened.”
Both the pastor and the alleged preacher refused
to give their names when asked.
The victim, Shakirah, lamented that she was
embarrassed with the incident.
“It was so embarrassing and painful,” she added.
Speaking on the development, the Imam of the
closest mosque to the incident, Samshudeen
Toliah, urged police and the public to warn
preachers against such act.
He narrated that “We even have one man that
sometimes come to the front of the mosque to
preach in the morning when we want to pray.
Even when we are praying, he keeps shouting to
distract us on salat. This is unfair and we want it
to stop.”

The iWitness NG had exclusively reported that a
preacher with the Winners Chapel Church at
Adesanmi area of Ile-Ife, Osun State on Saturday
August 13 beat a Muslim lady for refusing to
accept Jesus.
It was learnt that the Christian evangelist had
gone to the compound of the Muslim lady to
preach when she beat her.
According to eyewitnesses, the Hijab lady refused
to come out when the preacher initially knocked
on her door.
The iWitness NG gathered that after the Hijab
sister was lobbied to come out of the room, she
was allegedly cursed and subsequently beaten.
A resident of the area narrated, “It happened on
Saturday morning in our hostel. There is one
Hajia that stays in my compound. We just saw
blood all over her face with a lot of marks.
“What happened was that someone came to
preach to her to accept Christ and attend a church
programme and she rejected. The preacher was
shouting from outside but Hajia told her that she
wasn’t interested. Hajia later told her that she is a
Muslim.
“Instead of the preacher to leave her alone, she
intensified the preaching and kept shouting. Hajia
later came out in her Muslim cloth (Jalbab). When
the preacher saw her in full Muslim gown, she
started abusing her the more that ‘I don’t know it
is people like you, you this masquerade, you
better accept christ as your lord and saviour or
you will go to hell fire’.”
“The Hajia got vexed and went inside back. Yet,
the preacher did not leave. Hajia had to come out
for the second time to ask the preacher to leave
her alone. Yet, the preacher still didn’t leave. As
Hajia wanted to return to her room, the preacher
dragged Hajia close to her and started hitting her
to accept Christ. Hajia face was later filled with
blood and marks.”
Another neighbour explained that despite being
injured, Hajia ran after the preacher but was
persuaded by some Christians.

He added, “I saw Hajia running after the preacher.
The preacher held a girl with her but later told the
girl to run to church. After a while, the preacher
entered a house and Hajia still followed her. In the
house, the preacher ran into a room but Hajia
insisted she comes out. She shouted until people
in the house came out. They saw Hajia injured
and pleaded with her.”
However, it was gathered that the Imam of a ratibi
(small) mosque at Olubuse Street, Ile-Ife later
intervened.
When he intervened, the imam, it was learnt
traced the Church of the preacher in the company
of a police officer.
“When they got to the Church, they didn’t meet
the preacher. Members of the church initially said
they didn’t know her until Hajia pointed to the girl
that the woman came with to her house.
“They later called their pastor, who apologised on
the lady’s behalf,” Muhammed, one of the
Muslims at Olubuse Street added.
The iWitness NG also gathered that the case was
reported at the Moore Police Station, Ile-Ife and
the Chairman of Oduduwa Estate Community,
Alhaji Balogun also intervened.
When iWitness NG correspondent went to observe
Ishai in a mosque at Oduduwa Estate, Olubuse
Street on Sunday, the imam said, “As an update,
we have resolved the matter. We were at the
Police station this evening and the Christians
agreed that they were faulty, pleaded with us and
paid the hospital bill for the treatment of the
Muslim lady injured.”
A police officer at Moore Police Station, who
pleaded anonymity, confirmed the incident.
The officer said the affected Muslim lady identified
as Shakira studies at the Faculty of Education,
Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife.
“We have resolved the issue and proper
settlement already took place,” the officer said.
