I found this video very interesting, because it is not coming from a Northerner nor is it coming from a Muslim.

I pray you will and understand it better from brethren.

FACT CHECK: Did Oyo school abductors really demand Sharia law?

* Tracing the origin of a viral claim linking bandits' demands to Sharia

By Rasheed Abubakar, Publisher, Muslim News Nigeria @muslimnews_NG

The Nigerian social media space has been awash with claims that the bandits (terrorists) who abducted schoolchildren and teachers in Oyo State demanded the implementation of Shari'ah law as one of the conditions for the release of their victims.

The claim quickly generated widespread controversy, not only because of the gravity of the abduction itself, but also because it emerged at a time when discussions around the establishment of Sharia Courts of Appeal in parts of Southwest Nigeria have become increasingly prominent.

For years, Muslim groups and organisations in the region have advocated for the implementation of Sharia Courts of Appeal in accordance with provisions of the Nigerian Constitution, arguing that Muslims in the Southwest deserve the same constitutional rights already enjoyed by their counterparts in several northern states.

Against this backdrop, reports suggesting that bandits (terrorists) demanded Sharia law immediately attracted public attention and fueled heated debates.

The controversy was further amplified by a longstanding narrative that seeks to associate banditry, kidnapping, and terrorism with Islam despite the fact that the overwhelming majority of victims of such crimes, including Muslims themselves, have suffered at the hands of these criminal groups.

Bandits (terrorists) have attacked Muslim communities, kidnapped Muslim scholars, abducted Muslim schoolchildren, and killed countless Muslims across the country. Yet the islamophobes frequently describe them as representatives of Islam even when their actions directly contradict core Islamic teachings on justice, protection of innocent lives, and respect for human dignity.

As a result, many observers viewed the alleged demand for Sharia law as another attempt to link the activities of criminal gangs to Islam, the religion of peace ordained by Allah for mankind.

The claim was widely condemned across religious and political divides.

Notably, the Oyo Muslim community under the leadership of Alhaji Kunle Sanni on Friday, June 5, quickly distanced itself from the alleged demand, insisting that terrorists do not represent Islam and have no authority to speak on behalf of Muslims or Islamic law.

However, one crucial question remains:

*Did the abductors actually demand the implementation of Sharia law?*

The origin of the claim:

Muslim News Nigeria reviewed reports published by mainstream media organisations, online news platforms, social media discussions, and publicly available video recordings relating to the incident, starting from Thursday, June 4.

A clear pattern emerged.

Virtually all reports claiming that the abductors demanded Sharia law attributed the information, directly or indirectly, to remarks allegedly made by the Speaker of the Oyo State House of Assembly, Hon. Adebo Ogundoyin, on Wednesday, June 3, 2026, during a legislative plenary.

Several reports stated that the kidnappers demanded a huge ransom, some quoting ₦1 billion, as well as the implementation of Shari’ah law in Oyo State, among other conditions.

However, many of those reports relied on phrases such as "sources said", "it was gathered", "reports say", or summaries attributed to the Speaker rather than direct quotations.

The next logical step was to verify exactly what the Speaker said.

*What did the Speaker say?*

The one minute, three seconds video recording of the plenary session in which Hon. Adebo Ogundoyin addressed the matter remains publicly available online.
The video opens with the Speaker saying:

The First Igbo Muslim Girl to Memorize the Qur'an in Achi Town, Enugu State.

Joy and pride have been expressed following the presentation of a young girl named Ikezu Chizaram Aisha, who is said to be the first Muslim girl born in Achi town, located in the Oji River Local Government Area of Enugu State.

Aisha is among the children striving to memorize the Holy Qur'an, dedicating her time to learning and memorizing the words of Allah (SWT).

The Muslim community has prayed for Allah to raise more children like her in the region and to make her beneficial to the religion of Islam and society at large.

They Said Islam is a terrorist religion

Up till now since I reverted I have never been told to harm anyone
I was even told to take care of my parents despite their opposition to my new found faith

Every Friday I go to the mosque and listen to khutuba ( sermon)
The imam keeps getting angry at the incessant killings across the country and prays Allah deal with them

So how is this religion a terrorist religion

[AUTA🥹 @___Bils]

If the situation were reversed, Nigeria might have been in chaos. Muslims have shown a lot of patience and tolerance.

[Simwal @Simwal]

Shame on you, Riley, if you still have any sense of shame. Less than two weeks ago, numerous people lost their lives in multiple bomb explosions in Maiduguri. Yet, you stayed silent, perhaps because most of the victims were Muslims.

Your efforts to destabilize Nigeria will not succeed. You are a group of heartless individuals who show no regard for human lives, despite claiming to be the most civilized. Instead, you spread hatred and sow division under the guise of democracy.
