A Sokoto-based man, Malam Usman Buda, who was brutally killed by a mob in Sokoto State over alleged blasphemy, has been laid to rest.

The butcher was buried on Tuesday, June 27, after a funeral prayer held at Sheikh Musa Ayuba Luwa Mosque in Mabera, Sokoto South Local Government Area of the state.

Usman was reportedly attacked by an irate mob on Sunday, June 25, at an abattoir, after he was accused of making blasphemous comments against Prophet Muhammad.
