A woman identified as Blessing Eze(Mrs), mother of two have been stabbed to death in Ogun State. The incident occured when some touts began taxing traders over the Eid Mubarak festival of Muslim faithfuls that took place yesterday June 6, 2025, each trader was asked to pay ₦1,500. On getting to Late Mrs Eze, she told them she don't have money as at the time they came, they should come back, as touts they are, they started destroying her goods, which she dragged one of them and asking him to range her goods properly and come back, not that she won't pay but she don't have it as at that time because she have not sold anything. That's how one of them stabbed her on the chest which later led to her death.

So today, Igbo Market Union at Ifo market in solidarity and mourning shutdown their business in protest. Saying before this woman's death, they have been experiencing assault and intimidation from those group of touts. They have declared 4 days mourning which Igbo trader will not display goods rather it will be for protest until relevant authorities intervene on the matter especially the State Government.

One of the Market member who our correspondence interviewed narrated what happened to his wife last year, when the son of the Baba Loja(market head) Waheed, stabbed his wife and he involved the Nigerian Police, he was advised to drop the case for the sake of his life that the said boy is highly connected and deadly.

We implore the State Government of Ogun State to intervene and make sure the perpetrators are brought to book. Festival money shouldn't be by force, it's should have been something of a free will.

In 2005, six young traders were brutally killed by police officers in Abuja — a horrifying example of extrajudicial killing in Nigeria. This video dives deep into the Apo Six Killing, the cover-up that followed, and the long fight for justice.

Igbo people are too docile and too peaceful for their own existence.

Imagine this happening to an Hausa or Fulani person not to talk of a woman, all the touts in that area with their families will not know peace.

I read someone say that the son of a babaloja once stabbed someone and a case was lodged at the police station but instead the person was advised to withdraw the complaint😡. Imagine that also happening to a Fulani person…firstly, there won’t be any complain, the babaloja son and his dad would be attacked and huge compensation paid by the state.

What would the protest and locking of shops achieve?

Until Igbos start to revenge the evil and violence perpetuated against them, this nonsense would continue to happen. I’ve never seen a people so disorganised. Even the attackers would be frustrated at the lack of aggression by the Igbos.

It is not about ibos going to igboland or what ever.

It is about time governments do something about these touts. The government must put an end to this rubbish.
People in business should be protected.
She wasn't stabbed because she was an Igbo, she was stabbed because the government and security agencies didn't put an end to touts in the state.

It would have happened to anyone regardless of tribe.

May we not be unfortunate

Gangs, cultism and political hooliganism is going to destroy South West if the authorities don't do something about it on time. Why would a full grown man be extorting money from traders by force. Let them use the force to go and work. Learn from the north issues

The hoodlums in that axis must be apprehended.

They should be forced to productive labour in our various farmlands and other labour intensive tasks in Yorubaland.

HOWEVER, it's time the South Easterners think home and GO HOME!

This is heartbreaking and deeply disturbing. No one should lose their life over refusing to pay an unjust fee, especially during a supposed time of celebration. The killing of Mrs. Blessing Eze is not just tragic, it exposes a pattern of unchecked violence and intimidation in the Ifo Market. We stand with the Igbo Market Union in their peaceful protest and call on the Ogun State Government to act swiftly. Justice must be served, and extortion in the name of tradition must end. Festival contributions should never come at the cost of human life

The same ib0 that hide every first day of the week because of a man belching continents away?

Are you kidding? What will they do and not be flogged even more .? grin

Wetin Simon Ekpa dey do from continents away can NEVER happen with us.

Ask Sunday Igboho. When he started exceeding his boundary, he was apprehended by his own people.

May everywhere remain so calm as it is now if Igbos decide to retaliate.
