Nobel laureate, Prof Wole Soyinka, has called for the sack and prosecution of Prof Ibrahim Maqari, the Deputy Chief Imam of Abuja’s National Mosque, for supporting the lynching of Deborah Samuel, a female student of the Shehu Shagari College of Education, Sokoto, by her colleagues over alleged blasphemy.<\/p>\n

Soyinka said Maqari should \u201cbe tried under any existing laws that approximate hate rhetoric, incitement to murder and abuse of office.\u201d<\/p>\n

WITHIN NIGERIA recalls that Maqari had posted on Twitter that \u201cIt should be known to everyone that we the Muslims have some redlines<\/a> beyond which MUST NOT be crossed. The dignity of the Prophet (PBUH) is at the forefront of the redlines.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf our grievances are not properly addressed, then we should not be criticised for addressing them ourselves.\u201d<\/p>\n

Soyinka noted that Maqari \u201cimplicitly directed his followers to take the law into their own hands in the name of religion, and in a nation beset on all sides by wars of ultra-nationalism.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Nobel laureate stated these in his address, titled, \u201cIn Time of crisis: Civilian and soldier\u201d which was delivered in Abuja at the launching of a memorial publication on the late Lt Gen Ibrahim Attahiru, the immediate past Chief of Army Staff who died in 2021 in a plane crash.<\/p>\n

Soyinka said, \u201cNo one will deny that we all owe a duty to the living, but some incline to the stance that such duty terminates with the living. Well, in my school of reflection and the testimony of history, that duty extends to death and beyond. That claim is grounded, not in mere sentiment, not in attachment to morbidity or unassuaged grief but in banal self-interest. For instance if, having failed to save Akaluka, having failed to rescue Oluwatosin, setting aside hundreds, possibly thousands of others, we had openly, justly and rigorously ensured justice in the crime that terminated their existences, we would not now be apologising to the late victim of such religion inspired barbarity \u2013 Ms. Deborah Samuel.<\/p>\n

\u201cOf course we are not all to be found within the same terrain of sensibilities \u2013 absolutely no! And that has been demonstrated most vividly by the very nature of responses that have been exacted after the nation\u2019s recent exercise in human sacrifice. The nation\u2019s president, traditional rulers \u2013 among them the Sultan of Sokoto who also serves as the Amir of Nigerian Muslims, women organizations, workers\u2019 unions and professionals from all walks of life, young and old, have raised their voices in accents of apology and condemnation. However a glorified cleric, no less than the Grand Vizier of the iconic Mosque of the nation\u2019s capital, Abuja, has inserted a dissenting voice.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe young woman, Deborah<\/a>, he declared, deserved her death. This mullah, allegedly a man of learning, since his name is professorially captioned, says that there is a line, a red line that none of us must cross, no matter who we are, what we think, profess or value. Like the late Ayatollah Khomeini of Iran, this mere mortal has declared himself a Supreme Being with the power of life and death over all the denizens of the world. His call is unambiguous. Professor Ibrahim Maqari has placed his myrmidons of faith on the alert, primed to emulate the example of these death dealing mutants of fanatic indoctrination.<\/p>\n

\u201cProfessor Imam Ibrahim Maqari however insists, with a handful of others including a vocal serving policeman quite recently, that there is no remorse attached to the torture and lynching of a young student on this earth we all share. To anyone who cares to listen, Maqari has implicitly directed his followers to take the law into their own hands in the name of religion, and in a nation beset on all sides by wars of ultra-nationalism and religious fanaticism. That is the message of a supposedly holy man to youths, to us, his message to a nation embroiled in a madness of multiple insurgencies.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf Professor Grand Imam Maqari can draw a line in blood, the rest of the community of equal rights must proceed to draw their own, but they will do so in less primitive, bloodthirsty mode, in full respect of human dignity.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat apostate of the creed of humanity, Professor Maqari, must be removed from office. It is no longer sufficient for all to declaim that Islam is this and that, that the Sharia is thus and thus, that Prophet Mohammed set this or that example and made this or that humanistic pronouncement. We have gone beyond theocratic rhetoric that merely pays lip service to civilized norms. Let all pietistic denunciations be backed by affirmative action.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Grand Seer of Abuja mosque should be hounded from office. He should be tried under any existing laws that approximate hate rhetoric, incitement to murder and abuse of office.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
