| 2005-07-25 | Nigeria | A band of Muslim extremists has pronounced a death sentence on a Christian family and assaulted the father because his daughter allegedly sold pork, contrary to strict Islamic law. The militants came to the family patriarch's home in Ikorodu, Lagos state, looking for his 16-year-old daughter, Bridget Osagie, on July 15. Not finding her, they beat her 57-year-old father, Emma Osagie. The Osagie family denies that Bridget sold pork -- at the time of the original allegation in 1993, she was just 4 years old -- against Sharia law. In any event, Sharia is not in effect in Lagos state. Osagie has reported the assault to police and petitioned the Nigerian government, but officials have done nothing. The extremists vowed to return. | Crosswalk.com |
