Omokri Reacts To Killing Of Female Student In Sokoto For ‘Blasphemy’

Former Presidential aide, Reno Omokri has condemned the killing and burning of a female student of the Shehu Shagari College of Education in‪ Sokoto State.

Naija News had earlier reported that the lady identified as Deborah was beaten to death over alleged blasphemy on Thursday morning.

The female student was then set ablaze by some Muslim students for allegedly insulting Prophet Muhammad (SAW) on a group WhatsApp.

Thereafter, the students filmed the barbaric action and posted it on social media.

Reacting to the sad incident, Omokri called for the probe of the gruesome killing of the female student over the allegations of blasphemy.

In a series of tweets via his Twitter handle on Thursday evening, the former presidential aide also demanded that the culprits must be brought to justice.

Omokri also asked Governor Aminu Tambuwal to ensure that the students responsible for the death of the female students are severely punished.

He wrote: “The gruesome killing of the female student, whose name I understand to be Deborah, in Sokoto on allegations of blaspheming Prophet Mohammed SAW must be investigated and the culprits must be severely punished. @Elrufai insulted Christ, but Christians didn’t kill him!

“Governor Tambuwal is contesting to be President. How he handles the burning to death of Deborah on allegations of blaspheming Prophet Mohammed SAW will send a very clear message to all Nigerians about how he intends to handle our religious diversity if he’s elected!

“On July 9, 2016, Pastor Eunice Elisha was killed for preaching Christ in Kubwa, FCT. No one was punished. That same year, Bridget Agbahime was beheaded in Kano for blasphemy. No one was punished. The murder of Deborah on allegations of blasphemy must not go the same way.

“The highest-ranking Christian in this regime is Pastor Osinbajo. Sadly, he will NOT say anything about Deborah, in order not to hurt his Presidential run. If the reverse was the case, Muslims running for President would love themselves enough to speak for their own.“
