How Christiana Oluwasesin Was Brutally Murdered For Allegedly Tearing The Quran by mamaafrik(m): 4:01pm On Aug 07, 2020 |
Christiana Oluwatoyin Oluwasesin was happy and lively when she arrived at the Government Secondary School of Gandu, in the northern Nigerian state of Gombe on the 21st of March, 2007, where she teaches government. The married mother of two had already served state authorities notice of her resignation to join her husband, Femi, in their hometown of Abeokuta where he had taken up a job as a laboratory technician at a hospital. She was glad that she would soon be with her husband after the final day of exams that fateful day, but her joy on her last day at the school would be short-lived. Students, largely Muslims between the ages of 12 and 14, alongside outside Islamic extremists, murdered Oluwasesin that day after accusing her of desecrating a copy of the Quran. The mob stoned, stripped, beat and stabbed her to death, and her body was later burned beyond recognition, according to reports. The incident, which remains unsolved to date, reignited discussions about the freedom of religion and the sanctity of human life in Nigeria. On that March 21, Oluwasesin was supervising a class writing a final examination on Islamic Religious Knowledge, and to prevent cheating and other examination malpractices, she collected books, papers, and bags before the exam began in the all-female class and dropped them in front of the class, Aluke Musa Yila, a fellow teacher at the school, told Compass, even though other local reports said she tossed the materials outside the classroom. “Usually such items are returned to every student as each returns her answer script,” said Yila, who said he witnessed the gruesome murder of Oluwasesin. “Soon after the bags collected by Oluwasesin were dropped in front of the class, one of the girls in the class began to cry. She told her colleagues that she had a copy of the Quran in her bag, that Oluwasesin touched the bag, and that by doing so she had desecrated the Quran since she was a Christian.” Right after, students in the class began shouting “Allahu Akbar (God is great).” “It was at this point that I was attracted to the riotous scene in that class, and I then rushed there,” said Yila. “How could a teacher know that that there was a copy of the Quran in a student’s bag if this was not pointed out to her. Yila alerted staff members in the school who rushed to the scene to try and bring calm. In the process, Yila was able to take Oluwasesin out of the class to the office of the principal. “The principal left me and Oluwasesin in his office and also went there to calm down the Muslim students. Knowing that the students may soon come to this office, I pushed Oluwasesin into the bathroom in this office and then locked up the office,” he said. He then went back to the scene and was shocked to find that outside Muslim extremists had joined the chaos, destroying school property and demanding that Oluwasesin be given to them to be stoned to death. The mob believed that she had torn up a copy of the Quran, a book considered holy to over a billion people, and it’s a sin. “When we could not give in by releasing Oluwasesin to them, they started stoning us,” Yila said. In the midst of the violence, school officials and the police were unable to get access to Oluwasesin to save her as students hit them with stones and forced them to retreat. “While we were thinking of ways to take Oluwasesin out of the school, the Muslims broke into the principal’s office and dragged her out,” Yila said. “The principal rushed there to save her as they clubbed her with an iron on the head and blood was gushing out from the wounded side of the head. He was pleading that they should not kill her, but they were insisting that she must be killed.” “The principal succeeded in getting Christiana Oluwasesin up to the school gate,” he said. “There was a house near the gate, and he dragged her into the house, but the rioting Muslims went into the house and dragged her out again. This time, they clubbed her to death, brought old mats and placed dirt on her corpse, and then burned the body.” The students went ahead to set fire to classrooms, the library, Oluwasesin’s car and the motorcycle of Yila, who had then fled the scene. Fire personnel at the time said they could not get to the area as all roads leading to the school which had a student population of about 4,000, with about 10 percent being Christian, were blocked. After the incident, 16 suspects were arrested but were released without charge, a decision that angered many rights organizations, including the Christian community in Nigeria. Oluwasesin’s husband Femi and the children headed to court, demanding that the state government accept liability and compensate the family for the death of his wife. But the Federal High Court, Gombe, refused to handle the case, on grounds that it did not have adequate security to maintain law and order during the trial. With the help of a non-governmental organization, Femi dragged the state government to the Federal High Court, Yola, in neighboring Adamawa State, and as of 2010, the suit was still pending. [b] An average Alfa (atleast 40-60℅ that Muslims of my muslim friends and Neighbour have handled or even read an Holy Bible)why was the lady killed for same thing they do to christain Holybooks? Why can't a Christian touch a Quran but a muslim can read an Holy Bible??]\b] [b]Why is it similar to that of Kano in the 1990's where someone was beheaded for using Newspaper with Arabic cartoon inscription to clean buttocks?[\b] What is Islam?,why is violence attributed to islam?? The Redeeemed Pastor wife killed in Abuja during morning cry and up till now no reasonable prosecution,are we sure islam don't preach violence? Is it by coincidence that terrorist shout allahu akbar when trying to kill people?? Is by accident that a muslim can contribute to christain thread freely but a non Muslim will have to swear of being a muslim before he/she can contribute to an Islamic thread even here on Nairaland?? Why would a muslim refuse a person from entering mosque just because he is a Christian Is Islam really a Tolerant religion as it portrays to be a reliof Peace [b]What is a religion that have to result to Jihad to evangelize called?? I hope this is moved to the front page as many people feel this is intentionally suppressed which is unfair to the christendom https://oldnaija.com/2020/07/13/how-christiana-oluwasesin-was-brutally-murdered-for-allegedly-tearing-the-quran-in-2007/amp/ https://www.christiantoday.com/article/christian.school.teacher.brutally.murdered.by.extremists.in.nigeria/11021.htm

Not until many of these folks die , before they realize the extent of evil and bitterness religion brought to the world .... so much evil has emanated from religions created by men for the benefit of men ... imagine a life wasted , cos of brainwashed folks who think of an unseen God more than their fellow man -so much that they killed a human for having contrary beliefs .What is so important about story books written by crooks to brainwash dummies... ... Be it Islam or Christianity the difference is just enlightenment... they're same of the same .... its just a pity that Islam In Nigeria is widely accepted amongst folks who don't subscribe to education ...exactly why some of them seem so irrational , volatile and violent.... If you want to live long ,.happy and at peace with everyone stay away from religions and see how happy you'll be ... 1 Like |

This particular killing and others like this is one of the reason(s) why violence and extremism will never depart the north. Who knows the idiot that started the whole thing may not have prepared adequately for the exams. Majority of nothern youths are like petrol, they are just going about searching for any one with naked light. May the soul of the slain woman rest in peace. Amen |

I did my NYSC in the North West, Kebbi state to be precise. If you have ever lived in the North and you're a honest person, you will agree that Islam is HIGHLY intolerant of any other religion. Islam is a beautiful religion no doubt. You can't fail to fall in love with the simplicity and honesty of a true Muslim. Unfortunately in every thousand Muslim, you can barely get 10 true Muslims. When ever you find yourself in the North, always tread with extreme caution especially with matters relating to Islam. The Constitution, law, and order are not what they should be over there. 1 Like |

infogenerator:Is a true muslim one who is not violent or what exactly do you mean? There is no need to mince words, all muslims are violent, islam breeds hate and hypocrisy. To them it is okay if a muslim says our Bible is corrupt, but if a christian says the quran is fraud he should be beheaded, that is exactly what their prophet did in his lifetime and he is the "perfect example" for them to copy. They dont see the hypocrisy in his actions. 1 Like 1 Share |

Aa veeshock:All Muslims are not violent, I once thought so myself untill I had some personal encounters with Muslims. Not everyone swallows up what their religion teaches them without asking questions. Islam might encourage violence, true, but not all Muslims key into this. Unfortunately those who do out weighs the sensible ones on a massive scale, hence the level of violence we see today. You don't need religion to have morals. If you can't differentiate right from wrong, then you lack empathy not religion. 1 Like |

What is your problem in life? This whole thread is about Muslims killing a woman unjustly for allegedly defiling the Quran and somehow you have managed to drag Christianity and Christians to share the blame. Since you were born have you ever heard that a Christian killed a Muslim for blasphemy? Dumb as mofo. You're scared of bashing Islam so you just had to bash all religions to make Muslims hate you less. Minus. Joshmodest: |

johnkey: Never do. Those animals will go on rampage, killing any Christian they could find. Forbear. You will end up wasting more lives, and their blood-sucking demons will be happy. Jesus already told us that, it will happen: "...yes, the time is coming that whoever kills you will think that he offers God service." John 16:2 |

mamaafrik: That's what Mohammed told them to do. The religion is full of violence. Islam spread all over the world through violence. Ismael, the son of Hagar, Sarah's maid, was the greatest mistake of Abraham. For without Ismael, there wouldn't have been an Arabian on the planet, and as a consequence, there wouldn't have been a Mohammed to establish this blood-sucking religion. However, Jesus already forewarned us of this satanic activity, when He said: "...yes, the time is coming that whoever kills you will think that he offers God service." John 16:2. |
