Former Vice president and a presidential aspirant, Atiku
Abubakar has deleted a post he made on his Facebook and Twitter handles
condemning the killing of Deborah Samuel, a 200-level student of Shehu Shagari
College of Education, Sokoto State, who was burnt on Thursday.
The student was beaten to a pulp and burnt alive on Thursday
by male Muslim students who accused her of insulting Prophet Muhammed via a
WhatsApp platform.
The school authority has shut down academic activities
indefinitely as tension gripped residents of the area.
Reacting to the development on Thursday, Atiku in a post on
his social media handles, condemned the incident, declaring that all those
behind the killing must be brought to book.
He wrote, “There cannot be a justification for such gruesome
murder. Deborah Yakubu was murdered, and all those behind her death must be
brought to justice. My condolences to her family and friends.”
However, some religious fanatics with Islamic names stormed
the comment sections, particularly on Facebook, threatening to withdraw their
support for Atiku’s 2023 presidential ambition.
NigerianEye noticed on Friday morning that after numerous threats from the Northerners, the posts were deleted from Atiku’s social media handles.
