HELP US, INTERVENE NOW!" - APTAN CRIES TO SULTAN, NSCIA, MURIC, FOMWAN, All MUSLIM BODIES OVER UNLAWFUL EXTORTION IN ILE-IFE

Date: September 20th, 2025

The Artisans, Peasants and Traders Association of Nigeria (APTAN), Ile-Ife branch, wishes to draw urgent attention to an unfortunate incident that occurred at the Ojatuntun Otisese Weekly Market on Tuesday, September 16, 2025.

On that afternoon, men who claimed to represent the Palace of the Ooni of Ife stormed the market and forcefully seized goods belonging to our members. These individuals have been identified as Mr. Efunwole Kola, Mr. Sogo Olagbaju, and Mr. Hezekiah Agunbiade.

The seized items included: from Mrs. Aisha Ogundare, a Monique with cloth; from Mrs. Elureni Balikis, 2.5 liters of vegetable oil; from Mrs. Akande Moridiyah, 5 liters of vegetable oil; and several other traders whose losses are equally painful. These goods were taken because our members declined to pay a levy allegedly tied to the Olojo Festival.

This is not an isolated event. For over five years, our members have been subjected to harassment, intimidation, and seizure of goods under the guise of compulsory levies for traditional festivals. Goods taken in previous years have never been returned, and this yearly oppression continues despite our repeated appeals.

Our members are Muslims. We have consistently and faithfully paid all other legitimate fees and levies required of us. However, making contributions to activities rooted in traditional religious practices (Isese) is forbidden in our faith.

The Qur’an says: “Say: Indeed, my prayer, my rites of sacrifice, my living and my dying are for Allah, Lord of the worlds.” (Qur’an 6:162)
And again, Allah commands: “Do not assist one another in sin and transgression, but assist one another in righteousness and piety.” (Qur’an 5:2)

Therefore, compelling Muslims to fund traditional religious practices is a direct violation of our conscience and our religious freedom.

This act also stands in violation of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (as amended), which in Section 38(1) guarantees that:

“Every person shall be entitled to freedom of thought, conscience and religion, including freedom to change his religion or belief, and freedom (either alone or in community with others, and in public or in private) to manifest and propagate his religion or belief in worship, teaching, practice and observance.”

By forcing Muslims to pay levies that contradict their faith, these men and their sponsors are breaching the very foundation of Nigeria’s constitutional democracy.

Furthermore, Section 44(1) protects citizens from compulsory acquisition of their property except by law. The forceful seizure of our members’ goods is therefore unlawful, unconstitutional, and amounts to economic assault.

APTAN and its members hold His Imperial Majesty, the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi in the highest esteem. We believe strongly that His Majesty is not aware of these acts, which we suspect are being carried out under the influence of certain high chiefs and the Babaloja, without the explicit sanction of the throne. We recall that only weeks ago, we paid a courtesy visit to the Babaloja (Chief Jimoh Olaoluwa Odeyemi) of Odo-Ogbe to appeal that our members not be compelled to fund Isese activities. Unfortunately, our pleas were ignored.

We are not rebels; we are contributors to Ile-Ife’s growth. Over the years, APTAN has facilitated the introduction of tricycles into Ile-Ife through ALBARAKAH Microfinance Bank, trained over 100 artisans at little or no cost, organised annual public enlightenment lectures, carried out periodic community services, and recently established a skill acquisition centre for artisans. On October 26, 2025, we shall also host a free Medical Caravan for the people of Ile-Ife.

Given these contributions, it is heartbreaking that our members are being harassed and stripped of their goods simply because they refuse to compromise their faith. This oppression, if unchecked, will not only impoverish families but also sow discord within the peaceful fabric of Ile-Ife.

We therefore passionately appeal to His Imperial Majesty, the Ooni of Ife, to intervene urgently and put an end to this shameful practice. We believe these acts diminish the dignity of the throne and misrepresent the noble values of justice and fairness for which the Ooni stands.

We also call on the Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Sa'ad Abubakar, the Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA), the Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC), the Federation of Muslim Women’s Associations in Nigeria (FOMWAN), and all Muslim bodies nationwide to come to our aid. Our cry is for protection of our constitutional and Islamic rights.

We urge journalists, civil society organisations, and all lovers of justice to stand with us in amplifying this voice of truth. Our demand is simple: stop the harassment, return seized goods, and respect the rights of our members to practice their religion without coercion.

APTAN Ile-Ife remains loyal to the throne of Oduduwa and committed to the progress of our ancient city. We reaffirm our devotion to peace, justice, and development, and we pray that this matter is swiftly resolved in fairness and in truth.

Students of Al‑Ummah College of Education, Olabinwonu, Iwo, Bid Farewell to Begin New Academic Journeys

The corridors and classrooms of Al‑Ummah College of Education, Olabinwonu, Iwo, resonate with a mix of excitement as final-year students sign off and embark on the next phase of their academic and professional lives. This symbolic "signing out" not only marks the completion of their studies but also embodies a heartfelt farewell to their alma mater and anticipation of future opportunities.

Al‑Ummah College of Education, established under the auspices of Jama’atu Ta’awunil Muslimeen, was founded with a clear mission: to produce professional, morally grounded, and practically skilled teachers poised to contribute to Nigeria’s educational development. Located along the Osogbo–Ibadan Expressway in Iwo, Osun State, the college has become a hub for ethical, vocational, and academic training.

Graduating students reflect on the challenges overcome: long study sessions, practical assignments, and personal growth. Inspired by faith and scholarship, many acknowledge the significance of their faith-based learning environment in shaping their values and dedication.

As students move on, they carry forward Al‑Ummah’s vision: to ignite knowledge, nurture ethical educators, and foster national transformation through education. Their “sign‑out” is not just an ending—it’s a beginning rooted in purpose and prepared for impact.

At Al‑Ummah College of Education, Olabinwonu, Iwo, 'signing out' marks more than the end of academic routines—it's a heartfelt farewell, a moment of reflection, and a stepping stone into futures bright with promise. As these graduates disperse, they carry the spirit of ethical excellence, ready to influence classrooms, communities, and beyond.

So Your Noise Will Change the Government?

Let me speak directly to the intelligent among the Muslims—those who raise their voices, lamenting about bad leadership and failed governance. Yes, you. You who see corruption, injustice, and mismanagement and express your frustration from the comfort of your living rooms, pulpits, or social media handles.

But let’s be honest with ourselves: what effort have you truly made to change things?

The fundamental principle of life is clear: goodness flows from those who fear God and live in submission to Him. That’s where true justice, accountability, and righteousness are born. But if those very people—those with taqwa, with sincerity and knowledge—decide to isolate themselves from public affairs, from governance, from leadership… what do you expect?

When the righteous retreat to only the mosques and madrasas, leaving the corridors of power empty, then we must not be surprised when those with no fear of God occupy them. We shouldn’t expect anything less than what we’re witnessing today.

Leadership is a trust, a responsibility, and it has been entrusted to the believers—not to the corrupt or the careless. But where are the believers? Where are the doers? Where are those willing to step into the system and change it from within?

It is not enough to complain.

Allah is not unjust, and He certainly does not crown fruitless effort. The Prophet (peace be upon him) taught us that “Man jâhada wajada” — whoever strives, will find. That means only those who struggle on the path of righteousness will be granted success.

So stop the noise. Enough of the complaints.

Let the change begin with you. Start from your ward, your unit, your community. Get involved, get educated, get active. Don't just wait for miracles—be the miracle. Stand up for truth. Compete in goodness. Struggle in the cause of Allah, not just in prayer but also in leadership, policy, education, and governance.

Because until the God-fearing are ready to step out and lead, we will keep seeing leadership in the hands of those who don't fear God—and reap the consequences.

Will Disintegration Solve Nigeria's Problems?

In recent years, there has been growing agitation from different quarters of Nigeria calling for disintegration — a breakup of the country into smaller, ethnically or regionally defined entities. The argument is simple on the surface: since the Nigerian state has failed to deliver good governance, perhaps the solution is to divide it into parts where each region can govern itself better. But is that really the answer?

At the heart of Nigeria’s challenges are not its people, its tribes, or even the geographical boundaries it encompasses. We are a richly endowed nation, blessed with vast natural resources, fertile lands, diverse cultures, and resilient people. Our potential is not in doubt. The problem lies not in the structure of the nation, but in the character and competence of its leadership and, more importantly, in the attitudes and actions of the citizens who enable or resist that leadership.

Many who cry out for disintegration forget a fundamental truth: governments are made of people. They do not fall from the sky. The governors, senators, house members, local government chairmen — they are all products of the same society. They come from the very regions now clamoring for separation. So the question arises: if we cannot produce good leadership within a united Nigeria, what assurance is there that a divided Nigeria will automatically do better?

Disintegration does not guarantee change. It does not transform character. It does not birth accountability. If anything, it can create smaller, more vulnerable states plagued by the same problems we face today — corruption, tribalism, nepotism, poor infrastructure, unemployment, and injustice — just on a smaller scale.

Let’s ask ourselves: what have the leaders in our regions done with the power and resources already at their disposal? From local government councils to state assemblies, from federal representatives to senators — how many have made a real difference in the lives of the people? Are the cries for disintegration not coming from areas where internal governance has also failed? Are our state governments transparent, efficient, and responsive? If not, then the call for disintegration may just be an emotional reaction, not a strategic solution.

The truth is, breaking a country does not change its people. And a nation is only as good as the people who live in it — not just those who rule, but also those who vote, who protest, who serve, who build, and who hold leaders accountable.

If we truly want change, then the transformation must start with us. We need to redefine our values as a people. We need to educate and empower our citizens, hold our leaders accountable, and demand integrity at every level — from the village square to the National Assembly. Until we do that, disintegration will only recycle the same problems under different flags.

Disintegration is not a magic wand. It does not erase bad governance or manufacture good leadership. The root of Nigeria’s problem is not in its size, population, or ethnic diversity — it is in the mindset and morality of its people. Real change will come not by breaking the nation apart, but by rebuilding it from within, one honest leader, one accountable citizen, and one responsible institution at a time.
