Twelve Nigerian and Ghanaian migrants were thrown overboard following a fight concerning their Christian religion, Italian police said yesterday. The police said 15 African Muslim migrants have arrested over the incident. . The victims were “of Christian faith, compared to their attackers who were of Muslim faith,” police said in a statement, saying the 15 people arrested were accused of “multiple aggravated murders motivated by religious hate”. The incident aboard the rubber dinghy, which was carrying about 100 migrants, took place in the Strait of Sicily, between Tunisia and Italy. According to a group of Nigerian and Ghanaian survivors, a fight broke out over religion, with a group of Muslim passengers threatening the Nigerians and Ghanaians after the latter – who were in the minority – declared themselves to be Christians. “The threats then materialised and 12 people, all Nigerian and Ghanaian, are believed to have drowned in the Mediterranean,” the statement added. The 15 migrants arrested over the attack on their arrival in Palermo were from Ivory Coast, Mali and Senegal. In a separate migrant tragedy, as many as 41 migrants were feared drowned after refugee boat sank in the Mediterranean, Italian media reported. Four survivors reported the incident to Italian police and humanitarian organizations. The four survivors said they were originally from Sub-Saharan Africa and had left the city of Tripoli in Libya on Saturday. They then stayed adrift for four days before their boat was wrecked, the IOM spokesman said in a statement. “It appears that the four were found floating in the sea by a helicopter and were then rescued by the military ship Foscari,” the IOM said.

bushdoc9919: My Dear I read your piece and it agrees to my thoughts completely. For good governance to thrive we must get rid of corruption completely and ensure that the electorates decide who governs over their affairs; meaning that the votes must count. In some of the Asian countries you mentioned, corruption is an offence that may attract capital punishment. If I should zero in on Nigeria, all that Buhari owes this country is to fight and institutionalize anti-corruption; secondly improve on what Jega had started so much so that every single vote counts come 2019. Once the people decide who leads them, their leaders will sit up and the masses will be the better for it. |

You're fleeing hardship by making for Christan lands but then you turn and murder those fleeing with you. Not only do you betray the comradeship of the poor born of shared purpose, but you betray the values of those to whose land you fled in search of refuge. The whole thing makes no sense, which was why i positioned it outside the context of religion in my earlier post. Are these murderers fleeing Bokoharam (I mean did the Nigerian men unfortunately meet fleeing Bokoharam people on the boat) ? People that fought for Bokoharam came from many places outside Nigeria. Perhaps they're individuals from Nations so wretched that they believed being convicted and sent to jail in foreign lands would guarantee that they're not repatriated straight away. There's precedence - some homeless people and jobless people in Britain have been known to commit crime in order to be sent to prison where there's three square meals, warmth, roof and relative security. |

sameer1212:I no dey misyarn. I just don't like the rate in which these radical muslims murder people in the name of religion. It's not fair. Everyone has a right to live and everyone is free to be of any religion or belief he or she feels comfortable with. People should not be made to live in fear cos they're no muslims in some regions. ISIL entered a village mainly dominated by Iraqi christians and start killing them. They even went as far as beheading little kids too as young as 5. What crime did these people commit rather than being christians. Where have you heard of christians killing, maiming and beheading others that are non christians in the name of its religion? Why is it that areas mainly populated by muslims always like to force Islam down the throat of others that that are non muslims living in that area? Angola placed a ban on islam because the people are scared of the unknown. You said Islam isn't a religion of violence, then how come these extremists always justify their atrocities by reading scriptures of the Quran? They even read the actual areas where Islam supports and promotes the killing of non muslims. They always use the name of Allah whenever they go on rampage. We christians have never attacked you muslims but you guys are always the first to attack. I can show you areas in the bible of the old testament that supports retaliation but we don't use that cos we have a new testament that teaches love and forgiveness in that same bible. We chose to live by the new testament and not the old testament. Bro I'm telling you on this day a point will come when we are going to fight back and that day won't be funny at all. I think the time have cone for we christians to start forming our own militia group to curb the excesses of some of these muslims. The time has come to let them know that they're not the only one who have the monopoly of violence. We christians can kill too. The time has come for Islamic scholars, imams and the entire Islamic community at large to go back and review some portions of the Quran. Those proportion that supports the killing of other non muslims. A point will come when the ground would be too hot for you muslims. A point will come when we will start endorsing religious cleansing. A point will come when we will start arming ourselves and attacking you guys in the same manner you attack we christians. All muslims should come out publicly to condemn these attacks on we christians. A word is enough for the wise. I rest my case. 1 Like 1 Share |

Muslims arent perfect but Islam is. and the boko haram u are talking abt, wat makes u think the ur church members are the only ones affected, check the records again, no one whether Muslim or xtian is spared; not even the indigent Muslim northerners. For the fact dt u use the activities of the boko haram sect to qualify and justify ur sentiments against the Muslims shows clearly u are one of the 'irresponsible' and 'ignorant' southerners u earlier mentioned. 1 Like |
