Former APC presidential aspirant Adamu Garba has justified the Kiillling of the female Christian student in Sokoto by Islamic worshippers over alleged bla$phemy.
On May 14, Galant naija reported that Deborah, a student of Shehu Shagari College of Education in Sokoto State was intruded, stoned and burnt to ashes by her course mates over allegations that she insulted the personality of Prophet Mohammed.
How the Death of Deborah came About?
One of the students of the college, who witnessed how Deborah was flogged, killed, and burnt revealed how the scene as the most horrible she has ever witnessed said:-
“Deborah was my course mate. I just stepped into the class when the uproar on her voice note started.
It was her own course mates that started it. One of them said Deborah dared them by refusing to apologise when she was asked to. It all started with a debate on the upcoming examination on a general WhatsApp platform created for our course mates. A students asked her how she passed the last semester’s examination and in response, she said it was ‘Jesus o.’
“Immediately, about three other chats came in from two Muslims and one Christian, telling her to retract the statement. Two students from other departments who over heard some Muslim boys discussing the matter told Deborah’s close friends to prevail on her to retract the statement. But she replied via a voice note on the platform ‘Holy Ghost fire. Nothing will happen to me.
Is it by force that you guys will always be sending this religious stuff in this group? The group wasn’t created for that but rather as a notice on test, assignment, exam, etc, not this nonsense religious posts’
“We were made to understand that some young men were brought from outside before the outrage. I was in class when some of our course mates rushed in, saying ‘there is fire on the mountain o’.
“The Muslim students led the strangers to the class to look for her. In fear, those in the class tried to help her escape and took her to the security post from where they hoped to create a way for her to run outside Already, a cab was waiting outside to drive her straight to the police station. Unfortunately, the mob overpowered everyone who tried to save her. They even threatened to kill anyone who attempted to stand in their way.
“She was dragged out, flogged and stoned. The last word in her mouth was ‘what do you hope to achieve with this?’ By then some of our coursemates were making calls to some of our lecturers to save the situation. At a point, all the Christian students fled the school premises. It was when I got home that I heard she was set ablaze. Since the incident, I have been having a flash of her pleading expression. She pleaded for mercy and called out for help but it was far from her. What a cruel way to die,” she said.
Responding to her demise, famous Politician, Adamu Garba who neither scrutinized the credibility of the charge expressed that offending the prophet was the biggest mistake she had made in her life.
He gave 3 reasons why the girl deserve the death. Concern Nigerians practicing Christianity felt very bad after news propelled that the innocent girl diied a painful deaath.
Adamu moralistically supported and encouraged the killing of Christian student Deborah Samuel with the following Reasons that:-
- There is no Muslim that don’t respect the sanctity and the divinity of Jesus Christ, hence Respect our sensibilities and avoid it..
- Certainly, there is no Muslim that will ever tolerate denigrating our beloved Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W).
- Insulting the Prophet is our uncompromising REDLINE.
In addition, Jamil who is the son-in-law of Africa’s richest man, Aliko Dangote, in a post on Friday concurred that the pun!shment for blassphemy is death.
The remain of Deborah’s corpse was laid to rest in a cemetery on Saturday evening. See burial, photos.
