…Says reprisals may become inevitable
Deborah
Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria, HURIWA has called out President Muhammadu Buhari and the Governor of Sokoto State, Alhaji Aminu Tambuwal over the murder of 200 level Christian student of the Sokoto College of Education, Miss Deborah Samuel Yakubu.
The evil boys that burnt Deborah
Deborah it will be recalled was brutally killed by Islamic extremists in the school over alleged blasphemy Thursday.
HURIWA also condemned what it described as the conspiratory silence of the federal government 24 hours after her death.
In the alternative the body warned that reprisals may become inevitable if the case of murder of Deborah in Sokoto is swept under the carpets like similar cases of murders of Christians over alleged blasphemy by Islamists in Kubwa, Abuja, and twice in Kano State.

The rights group told Sokoto State Governor, Alhaji Aminu Tambuwal and the hierarchy of the ill-fated school that the blood of the innocent Christian girl murdered in broad daylight is on their heads and generations unborn won’t forgive them for their seemingly ominous inaction.

HURIWA said it is urging that the strongest deterrent action provided by law is applied against the killers of Deborah who are even captured on video recordings or else the Federal Government has unwittingly authorised that reprisals should occur and the violence will do Nigeria no good because religious violence could lead to a civil war.
“HURIWA is very much aware, that President Muhammadu Buhari did not mince words to condemn Indigenous Peoples of Biafra(IPOB) even without any scientific evidence linking them remotely or otherwise to the gruesome and despicable beheading of the soldiers’ couple massacred by unknown gunmen reportedly on their way to a traditional wedding in the South East of Nigeria. President Muhammadu Buhari even gave order that the killers be hunted down and dealt with decisively by military forces.
