No fewer than eight persons were killed on Monday in Talata-Mafara community in Zamfara following violence that erupted over alleged blasphemy by a student of Abdu Gusau Polytechnic, Talata-Mafara.
The state governor, Alhaji Abdulaziz Yari, joined hundreds of people to bury the deceased, who were said to have all been killed when an angry mob set fire on the house of a man who tried to rescue the student. The student was alleged to have made a blasphemous statement against Islam and Prophet Muhammad (SAW) and was consequently attacked by a mob.
The boy was said to have been beaten to pulp by the mob, and the man, whose name was simply given as Tajudeen, took him in his car and rush to a hospital. Enraged by the act of the man who rescued the student, an eye witnesses said that the mob moved to his (Tajudeen’s) house, set it on fire and killed eight persons.
The governor, who called for an emergency Security Council meeting over the incident, expressed sadness and vowed that “no stone will be left unturned until all those behind this act are brought to book”.
The police have imposed a 12-hour curfew in the community, from 7p.m. to 7a.m. daily until further notice, with warning that anyone caught violating the order would be prosecuted. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

ReplyDeleteReligion of peace indeed!
ReplyDeleteYou can't blame an entire religion for the actions of the kkk or LRA or an angry mob or Bolognese haram.
Delete@ S, kkk, lra and others don't act in the name of religion, muslims justifies their actions with quotations from the quran . What have u to say about it?
Deletewhat i have to say is that NIgeria need to split, if and only if, we want all these nonse to stop. d northers hv too many religious fanatics and inductrinated religious extremist in this country. They enjoy killing people of other religions around them.
DeleteFoolish people use religion as their weapon to attack others.... Don't judge others and leave it to God... He will look at the person if he is a living God...ok
DeleteLet Sultan and Lamido comment on this...They are in the best position to describe this situation...What a religion of peeeeaaaccceee!!! Well,as tevents are unfolding...
ReplyDeleteReligion is meant for Man, not man for religion!
DeleteThis is nonsense. I hate it. Why would anyone insult religion?
ReplyDeleteU must be mad.are u De religion??
DeleteYou are one of them. First how have you confirmed the there was an insult ? How can a mob be the accuser and the judge of that action.? Why should not the god of that religion fight for himself if he is truly god?
DeleteAnyone that kills in the name of whatever religion is actually serving lucifer. It is written 'the devil comes not but to steal, to kill and to destroy.....' And he will laugh at you all when you are burning in hell.
This is unbelievable, so you justify killings of 8 persons because someone insulted a religion? Who is religion? And if that your religion is so powerful why don't you let him fight for himself abi na for ITSELF. Your type don't deserve to live lest alone among decent people, you deserve to die or at best live in the jungle where I know you belong.
DeleteTajudeen house they set on fire? APC! Chanji dole!
ReplyDeleteIf a god or prophet can't fight for itself, then there's no need worshiping such dead and useless god or prophet. I just pity those fools who kill in the name of religion.
ReplyDeleteThis is a devil's religion, devilish book, devilish docrine, devilish leader and devilish followers. Where is the peace?????
ReplyDeleteThe Bible says 'there's no peace for the wicked'.
The devil has nothing good to offer you. In the end, his offers lead to destruction and disgrace as we can see.
Come to Jesus, the TRUE PEACE. John 7:37.
Honestly the guy was wrong. I am an eye witness i saw all what happened. I'm from edo serving here in talta marfar.
ReplyDeleteCan you please give your own side of the story because you said the victim was wrong so were they right to have bitten him? Moreso tell us the reason why the person that helped him so that he won't die was wrong and they burnt his house? These people are simply #evil.
DeleteWhen a Muslim called others infidels, it's acceptable but one slight argument about Mohammed or Islam the end result is death. Can't understand why non Muslims cannot give them space considering their approach to matters. Any condemnation of this act by any Muslim is deception. it is their religion it is their way.
ReplyDeleteSo coz somebody insulted religion you kill 8 innocent pple ananymous 2:03 pple like you are the reason this country will never get better. If mohammed is a god let him fight for himself enough of all this rubbish, and it will keep happening till our brainless leaders make pple to pay for there actions instead of shielding them coz of selfish reasons,. Religion of peace indeed.
ReplyDeleteIgnorance is the bane of our society!
ReplyDeleteI believe prominent Muslim leaders across the nation and maybe across the world should make it a point of duty to condemn renounce and speak strongly against any violence perpetuated in the name of Islam, no matter how small. When extremist see that their mentors or leaders are against it, they would realize that their actions are bad and not acceptable in Islam. Certain Muslim leaders also need to watch what they preach at religious gatherings to ensure that their sermons are not encouraging extremism.
ReplyDeleteThe last Anonymous is the most stupid being on earth. How do u define insult. For ur information we all insult religion in one way or the other in our daily life. I think u are one of those extremist.

ReplyDeleteLol, Muslims and Islam are alike the are evil and inhuman in nature from their so called Mohammad to his smallest follower, even thier unborn terrorists are all evil, and will face the judgment of God (Jesus) including you that will want to attack me.
ReplyDeleteThey will face the judgement of god (jesus)?
DeleteAll this mumu people are the reason for our very backward society.
Religion is politics. Read!!! It was all designed by politicians from the beginning, to control their people and now us
There is nothing good about Islam, Mohammad and the Northern Nigeria. Islam is a blood sucking league led by a blood sucking vampire Mohammad, and practice by mad people who has no Value for Humanity.
ReplyDeleteMohammed is just a name not greater than anybody. I am greater than that so-called prophet mohammed because I can fight my own fight by myself. I don't need people to fight for me. If Mohammed (SAW) is great, let his name fight for him just like our LORD and SAVIOUR of mankind JESUS CHRIST.
ReplyDeleteBuhari has "condemned" the act saying it is "barbaric and unacceptable". When will they stop killing us and stop condemning the act. Tell those barbarians to stop the gruesome and wanton killings of innocent people in the name of toothless and powerless religion or god that can barely fight for itself. The Almighty God fights for His people and shall hold their peace.
ReplyDeleteForget Buhari. He's the engineer of this bullshit. These weren't happening this much before his government. He supports all these evil.
ReplyDeleteBut I tell you, everything has its limit. When a human is pushed to and cornered to a wall, his instincts kicks in and he fights back with all he's got. At this point, I tell you, what this country needs is WAR!
