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, 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 News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the boy was said to have been beaten to pulp by the mob, and the man, whose name was simply given asTajudeen, took in his car and rush to a hospital.
Enraged by the act of the man who rescued the student, an eye witness told NAN 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”.
NAN further reports that the police have imposed a 12-hour curfew in the community, from 7PM to 7AM daily until further notice, with warning that anyone caught violating the order would be prosecuted.
One Nigeria they say, he insulted your God, with due respect, is he weak? That he can’t fight for himself? Or is he an eye for an eye kind of God? Letting his followers shade blood on his behalf? Now u beat the singular person who allegedly insulted your God to a near death point, some good person rescued him, then you proceeded even further to burn his home along with eight people in it. How heartless can y’all be? You kill a woman who preaches about Jesus Christ every morning, you kill another who allegedly insulted your God. What can one do to please y’all. It quite unfortunate that the few good Muslims are being included in this bad names the most of them create. Lord God may your will be done. Amen.
When will I see christian killing some Muslims making thek the victim
@ Mona So whats your point? You said christian insult mohammed, is he God? We all insult the Almighty God one way or the other everyday, heaven hasn’t pour fire, so whats the problem with we humans? And in what way was he insulted in your best knowledge that warrant killings, am still telling you in Nigeria, The Imams with their loud mega speakers insult Jesus Christ, no one kill for that. So tell me exactly your point. Tolerance, if they can tolerate, they won’t be killing everytime all because someone insult their prophet, they wont even blink their eye if someone insult God in their front.
Those who said the news is fabricated same thing should happen to them in particular not their families.
Sallymaster Abdul but these guys are tarnishing the image of your Islam. What are you, Imams, Sheiks are doing to contain this mess?
Religion of peace indeed don’t make laughU0001f44e
Sir Lord Lugard, made a terrible mistake in 1914 by amalgamating Northern and southern Nigeria, frankly speaking we are not same, with all honesty it is the southern part of this country that wants the unity of Nigeria, the Northerners are calling for war always, we have been together for over 100yrs and we can not tolerate each other, is that nor obvious that were are not met to be together. We have Muslim or Islam as you ppl may call it in the south and we have been living together as brothers, here in the south I have seen a husband Muslim and wife Christian and the were living in the same house raising their children together.

Chidozie Onyudo can’t u read and understand English? Tell me if u don’t understand the last part of Mr touray’s comment please or maybe u are unable to read.
There is chapter in the muslim book called the Qu’ran that says worship what u worship and I worship what I worship. Those that goes around killing people because they insulted their religion are doing it out of anger and ignorance but not out of understanding the Islamic religion.
A chapter in the Qu’ran says if u kill a soul is like u have killed the whole of humanity. Note a soul means a human being irrespective of whatever or whoever they are or belong to.
Well someone put them in molten magma or molten tar. Either of those would be great

I have never read the history or see where Christian kill or burn Muslims bcos thy speak against Jesus Christ.
Wow. One might think the ‘God’ belongs to them. It’s like it’s something they invented themselves
what a world.
This is barbaric.. lets leave religion off this, why should you kill your fellow citizens? where is the love? isnt same one God we believe in?.. anyways.. for we Christians, why should we go against? even when we know the manner of heart they live with, you know how risky it is when you make mockery of their religion yet you act selfishly. Nigeria! black skin.. black heart
Non of them has been arrested oh! But just name your dog B, and you will be arrested.
If Hausa men in Kano State could name “tea without milk,” Buhari, and they are not arrested and prosecuted, then why arresting and prosecuting an Igbo man in Ogun State for naming his dog, Buhari. I am not APC or PDP, neither am I Igbo nor Hausa. Rather I am of the Ogoni ethnic stock who only belief that, what’s sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander, which usually goes in our local parlance, here in Nigeria as “What is good for the goose is good for the gander.”

Hmmmm when ever u hear Muslim know that there must be war or blood sharing …
I say my brother their so call Muhammad can’t fight for himself instead his following kill innocent people blc they want to defend him hahahaha hell awaits them blc they must give an account
Where is the difference ??? Muslims practice Islam .. If they Muslims are doing wrong then we must check what they practice … Is either does teaching them is not doing it well or they themselves are condemning what their religion teach them … Blc allover this earth those bringing war n troubles are Muslims
Griffith Sidney, its just like saying that people who practice peace are Christian,since people practicing islam which is peace are muslim therefore since they are not practicing peace, they are terrorist muslim .
Kayode, You cant separate apc from islamic radicalisation! thats the bitter truth.I have nothing more to say.
Daddy, i really agree with you sir.
How can they be fighting for their god?
Yorubas still have culture despite practicing Islam, but Hausa don’t have any culture any more.
No wonder some countries like mine don’t trust or want or like Muslim. Terrorist religion!!!!
