A NIGERIAN Islamic human rights association, the
Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) yesterday accused
the officials of the Oyo State Teaching Service
Commission (TESCOM) of Christianising the CBT
examination organised to screen applicants for
teaching appointments in the state.

MURIC alleged that Muslim candidates were made
to answer questions on biblical stories
and denounced the imposition of bible questions on
Muslims. “We appeal to the governor of Oyo
State to order a resit of the CBT examination on
a level playing ground,” the association said.

The allegation was contained in a press statement
made available to pressmen yesterday by the
Director of MURIC, Professor Ishaq Akintola.
The MURIC statement reads: “Muslims who took
part in the CBT examination organised by the Oyo
State TESCOM were shocked when questions on
Christian Religious Knowledge (CRK or BK)
surfaced among the questions.
“They had earlier received information that
candidates would be tested in Mathematics, English
Language, Current Affairs, Knowledge of Teaching
Education and the candidate’s special area. But
to their dismay, they found questions on CRK like
explaining how Moses was a shepherd to his
father-in-law and how Elijah was thrown into the
fire.
“These CRK questions have the potential of
putting Muslim candidates at great disadvantage
while Christian candidates are most likely to score
high marks. This will eventually lead to the
disqualification of Muslim candidates and the
employment of Christian teachers. The bias
becomes more pronounced when it is realised that
no Islamic knowledge question was asked to create
a balance.
“MURIC frowns at this lopsided arrangement. It
is grossly unfair to Muslims. It should be noted
that this is an exercise which has direct bearing
on the welfare of the candidates’ families. The
implications are far-reaching, including a calculated
attempt to impoverish Muslim families while
Christian families are enriched.
“We therefore reject the exercise. We call on
the state governor to order TESCOM to conduct
another CBT examination. We are astounded by
the level of Christianisation going on in Oyo
State agencies since the appointment of Christian
chairmen and directors.
“We call the attention of Nigerians and the
international community to this episode. It is a
pointer to what has been going on in most South
West states. Muslims have been turned into
underdogs. Unfortunately those who complain
among us are labelled as terrorists.
“We are threatened with assassination and
blackmailed as receivers of funds from terrorist
groups. All these in an effort to get those who
oppose the persecution of Muslims out of the way
so that the oppressors can continue in their evil
ways ad infinitum.

“For the umpteenth time, MURIC affirms that
threats of assassination, blackmail, character
assassination, falsehood and forgeries aimed at
implicating MURIC will not deter it from speaking
for the oppressed and marginalised Muslims
anywhere in Nigeria.

“In our concluding remarks, we denounce the
imposition of bible questions on Muslims. We appeal
to the governor of Oyo State to order a resit
of the CBT examination on a level playing
ground.”
