The man that allegedly killed Debora
An unnamed man has confessed to the killing of Deborah,a student of Sokoto College of Education earlier today.
She was accused by irate students over alleged blasphemy of Islam prophet
The deceased, identified only as Deborah, was accused of passing unflattering comments about Prophet Mohammed on campus.
The unidentified man has bragged in a video that he killed and set ablaze a student of the Sokoto College of education, only identified as Deborah.
Looking sweaty and pulsating with rage for doing God’s work, the man whose identity has not been established, spoke to a camera while Deborah’s body was on fire in the background.
He said in the Hausa Language. “I’m the one that killed her and set her ablaze. This is the matchstick I used in setting her on fire,” the man said showing off the matchstick box.
Killing for God is not a crime in the reckoning of many zealot northern Muslims, a possible reason the man brags about being part of the mob that killed Deborah.
It will be recalled that Irate attackers in Sokoto roasted the Christian female student of the Shehu Shagari College of Education in Wamako today and filmed it before uploading the bizarre footage on social media.
The deceased, identified only as Deborah, was accused of passing unflattering comments about Prophet Mohammed on campus.
Following immediate threats to her safety, she was immediately evacuated to the security post of the school, according to a student who witnessed the development. But the mob pursued her to the security post and overpowered the personnel there.
The video of the gory incident has been trending on social media. The video shows that Deborah was first beaten to a pulp by the students, then stoned until those hurling the stones got tired before setting her ablaze.
Deborah is not the first to have suffered the fate in the hands of Northern Muslim fanatics fighting for God.
In 2016, a woman Bridget Agbahime at Kofar Wambai market in Kano was killed by a Muslim mob over alleged blasphemy against the Islam Prophet.
In 2020, an upper Sharia court in the Hausawa Filin Hockey area of Kano State sentenced 22-year-old Yahaya Sharif-Aminu to death over blasphemy in a song he circulated via WhatsApp.
The action of the man and his collaborators is not new in Northern Nigeria as the region is a hot bed of religious fanatism and this trend has grown since the introduction of Sharia in year 2000 by then Zamfara governor, Abdullahi Yerima
