Muslim Corps Members Harassed In Abia State Over Bokoharam Issues by Nobody: 11:15am On Jul 09, 2014 |
It is of no news that the security challenges in Abia state has gotten to the extent of being vigilant over the issues concerning scares of bokoharam insurgents due to false acquisition of about 400 traders travelling through the state. This led to scares amidst the dwellers of the state and as such got to the extent of accusing any Muslims (even just by names) in the state as bokoharam counterparts. Even when it is very clear to them that most of us are from the south western part of the country. This is not the first time a Muslim corps member will be harassed publicly, even when fully kitted. They have started calling us bokoharams to the extent of arresting a fully identified (Muslim) corps member at umuahia, abia state. Threatening him after his release that he will be dealt with if he is found again in the state. The information getting to we residing at the MCAN's lodge in Umuahia now is that if there is any bokoharam attack in Abia state, the first places they will go to ransack are the MCAN lodges. This must stop... They are really threatening our lives here... We are going back home! 46 Likes |

Its quite a pity n what is happening right now remains a regret. Harassing an innocent Muslim is just very very wrong n requires no justification especially for d hallowed corpers serving d people of Abia state. However, since u said they threatened to ransack n not attack, it may not be entirely wrong. No one will like to hear talk less of witness a bomb blast down here, that d reason for d extreme measure. The truth be told that d only lead way for BH into Abia will always be a "subset" of the Muslim community. its quite regrettable n I wish this didn't happen. I'm a christian n I dread any pain brought on non Christians even on Muslims. one love sir. let's hope it gets better. 75 Likes |

This is just plain wrong. How do we intend to foster national unity and development with these kinda tribalistic/religious-based suspicions? Tribalism is one of the biggest bane of our nation.. It's right 2 b on d alert.. But until u have raw evidence it wrong 2 suspect any Northerner/Muslim as a terrorist. And even xtians suffer d same fate over there in d North; it's all plain wrong BTW, I think ds NYSC rubbish should be scrapped already; it's brought/bringing 'bout more harm dan good. 20 Likes |

The same way Christians are harassed in the Core North. I suffered same when I served. Or the case of Eucharia Remmy a female corper in Yobe (pictured below),killed for distributing rhapsody of realities, a christian tract from Christ Embassy, she was shot point blank by Muslims. The truth is Muslims know how to cry to high heavens when they are been trampled on but look the other way when their brethren are killing Christians. 260 Likes
