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.
Government will never see this. The military busy chasing avengers in Niger Delta. People who avenge for their God are not avengers

You are not Nigerian, you don’t know what’s going on in Nigeria, how Christians are being systematically murdered by Muslims so KEEP QUIET! Muslims insult Christians and Christ constantly, yet we don’t go about burning mosques or attacking them, so cut that crap about “Christians shouldn’t insult the prophet”! Maybe your si called “African” boyfriend worships voodoo as well as whatever other faith he is, but that in no way reflects ALL Africans, and even if it does, WHO the hell are you to put your mouth in African issues? Leave us to sort out our own issues, and you sort out yours! And Islam might be a peaceful religion, but it’s representation worldwide says otherwise!
Sisi Ferarri, ur names and ur face describes the type of person u are.
Not ur fault bro. Those useless illiterate caused it. But I will tell u dis islam is not what u see fanatics practicing but Islam is what u see in someone n u ready to join him in practicing it.
I never said that the killing was right! But why is it necessary to insult the Prophet? They did it because they knew that this is how they do the worst thing they can do to a Muslim!
Muslims do not insult Jesus! Because Jesus for then is also a Prophet of God!
Christians killed a lot! Maybe you should Check on how many of your ancestors were killed by the colonizers when they didnt want to believe in the bible right away!
Just imagine how they are insulting her for saying the truth… is it a crime for us as Christians to admit to the truth….. we all are shouting they are evil. Buh why did our own Christian brothers insult their prophet in the first place ? Why?
i am a Northerner and a Christian so believe me when i tell you the word peace from these guys doesnt mean loving everybody in the world expectially CHRISTIANS…
They are animals not Muslims.
Its just like going to England to insult their queen Nd u think u wont face the wrath of the English men
That’s why we are not one, I don’t believe we can ever be one….
What blasphemy? How many times have you insulted the christian faith and our only true God? Our God told,” revenge not, for vengeance belong to me”
Only a coward God and coward prophet will incite their followers to defend them because they are powerless
Us Christians just obeiy God, period! And the rest, The Almighty God takes charge of it.
You will all perish in Hell if don’t repent for your doings against christians.
God have mercy on them
When dey use only ahleluya to break d wall of jerico dey thought is joke only song of
Then why all these killings of innocent souls has to come from these Muslim? Mona Briese please enlighten me more because I’m trying to understand why! It’s very painful! They go to mosque and pray and the next minutes they are raising cutlasses on souls. What is it that they praying about??? Why all these anger?
Tosin Lawrence why do they insult our Jesus ans that question…..they do insult Jesus have we killed them…. Metcheeew.. They are wicked and heartless…they want everybody to become Muslims… Is it by force
U people should stop comment on fakenews.
islam>wickedness
allahes are stupid
muslims are fake
Please i need to see proof
Check wat bible say concern Islam ,is a religion of fool ,they lack of wisdom
wait until they jump in to condem you. Africans are lazy foolish and lazy to research
Mona Briese if u have noting to say just keep quite….. Muslims do insult Jesus OK….
Tosin are u mad or insane?
They do not insult Jesus! They just dont see him as the son of God. This is not an insult!
But Jesus did the same things in the quran as he did in the bible. Educate yourself before you spread stuff that you dont know!
The only way peace can rain is to ban Islam. After all the paedophile is dead, so let his religion be banned! Islam is nothing but terrorism!
Mona Brisese I can see that you are Brainless have you ever read it on news that Christians burn and kill Muslim for blaspheming against Christian religion CAPITAL NO,I don’t believe in Religion,if I have to choose between them,I will definitely choose Christians because I have Christians friends and Muslims friends,I notice there characters,the Christians ones are very caring understanding and easy going friends,while the Muslims friends are full of violence,little things can get them upset,all they think off is how to rape and spout things,the Christians teach and preach love,while Muslims mind set are to kill due to how they where taught,IS THE DIFFERENT CLEAR TO YOU NOW
Av they ever caught any muslim mob before or did they catch those dat killed the redeemed preacher in Abuja ?
Shedding blood means nothing to these pple. Na wa o. It’s their right to kill at will.
http://www.history.com/topics/crusades
There you go! Go and educate yourself Kelvin!
These Muslims likes shedding Blood it gives them Joy.
So why won’t Christians Mind their business and shut up their mouths.
Y’all don’t wanna speak the truth…. I have nothing to say to y’all… I only wanna speak with intelligent people.. abeg
“Muslims did the same” wow that’s ignorance.
Muslims are just deceiving themselves, there’s nothing like Muhammad the only way is Jesus.
All the Muslims Here if u think what they did is bad… Go and talk to ur follow Muslims that fools….. This is not the 1st or 2nd… All my life I hear Muslims killing Christians… Why why if I may ask…. U guys are just wicked and heartless ok
Yes ooo I strongly believe
where is the love you guys claims to preach?…..i tell you the neked truth Brother, you can go to the East or Southern Nigeria and insult Jesus and still come back alive….this will happen not because nobody can kill you but because we are told to love everyone as we love ourselves.

Just Google it! U0001f602
Mona Briese you just speaking history here my dear.. My question is why are these Muslims killing souls? Why? It’s a simple question. It’s making you angry because they insult Muhammed but the souls they slaughtered don’t mean anything to u. I wish you can witness all this killings yourself then you will have a rethink… Muslims are killing the innocent and you here quoting history on Muhammed. Damn!
They deserve it …
Muslims and violence. May thunder fire them.
Useless Mohammed, Sex Award Winner(SAW).
Thunder fire una ,idiots.
Taking people live for no just cause. I repeat again make thunder fire both the Mohammed and its useless followers.
U are a buffoon..and may the blood of those murdered be in ur head too 4 supporting evil
Honestly Christians provoke we the Muslims a lot verbally, physically and in all sorts of ways, sometimes is annoying but this stupid action of these mob is worst of all, from the name it was a Muslim (Tajudeen) who rescued the man, and because of this you burnt his house kill his family, and do they think they fight for Islam like that? Hell no! Allah will surely judge them and punish them for that but before then I just hope they are caught and punished. My condolences to Tajudeen family may Allah reward you abundantly.
why do you muslim think you can fight for God? your attitudes shows that this God you claim to be deffending or protecting can not deffend or protect his self….good morning Brother.
Islam is a cult organisation not a religion. Blood suckers. Boko HARAM, ISIS very useless fellows.
Mona Briese
And your people, the GERMANS were the worst of the colonialist that stepped foot in Africa, but they didn’t do it under the guise if religion they did it under the guise if race! In Namibia the had a Eugenics agenda to breed out the Africans, and they did same in Rwanda, which was also responsible for the recent massacres, decades later! Not to mention what your people did to the Jews and other undesirables, very much like the Muslim agenda of today! So I’d keep quiet if I were you, you don’t know what’s going on in Nigeria….
This is absolutely nonsense, here is the reason why they called Islamic religion boko haram, why not live this people for God to George them.
Onedibe Chelseaboy Tochukwu we are not lazy and foolish. Maybe you are.
To be frank blasphemy is a sin so what dat Christian student did is not good but what those muslims did shows dat they are not humans, they are suppose to be in d zoo nd even if they are humans, they are not better than ritualist… #bloodSuckingDemons
Sometimes I wonder where this people are, me go kill u first. Nonsense.
Kenneth Williams na you go use ur head carry am. U are already washing ur hand with their blood self. Dem nor dey talk am two times talk less of saying it on CNN self. Sharp sharp
I dnt support any evil move, but if the question u ask is true, it means u are a now bone in Nigeria
the world would better place without the stupid muslim,they preach to kill & rape women & men.eg ISIL,BOKOHARAM etc
Chika Cyril Onuorah we are the most foolish set of people on earth
The problem is not with the religion. The problem is religious people. Religion should only be a part of our lives and not our whole being.
Onedibe Chelseaboy Tochukwu… U r stupid for saying Africans are lazy… What kills us is religious tribalism…. So got it into ur tick head…. U r even bearing Igbo name and for instance if u r lazy am not….. Rubbish
Halima maybe you haven’t been on my profile but do i look like a 99 year old woman how had any responsibility in what Germans did to the Jews?
I guess not. So you can not put history on me! Very low Level my dear! Very low!
I don’t blame any body but those Christians that say rubbish things out of their mouth it’s their religion and they need to respect it, how can someone be in a Muslim state and say rubbish you want to die Na. Una nor dey watch news
If Africans are lazy and foolish then you moron and naive cause you are also one the foolish Africans@Onedibe Chelseaboy Tochukwu..

May the element of madness from the pit of hell accompany u and ur entire generation in all u endeavour..exacerbated dimwit
Iyke Honey poor little dude. it is morning time. go and take your breakfast
Do not kill
Why do you take someone else life?..
If muslims wants us 2 bliv deir religion is gud deir actions ways of dealing wit issues tells it all. U call ds religion? God 4giv dem is a simple tin muslims cant say or do
Ahmir Yes ! Muslims did the same just as Christians. They forced the Religion on people and killed if they didnt believe! So who is the one being ignorant?
There is no point in denying it because it is true.
I’m not in support of the killings… those killers should be arrested Nd prosecuted according to the law cus I’m sure even their Quran preaches against killing people there should be another way of dealing with such thing……. but at the same time I don’t support what those Christians killed did cus if they had stocked to themselves Nd mind their business non of that would have happened…. they ain’t even scared to do such in the northern part of Nigeria for God’s sake. Where we have a lot of these uneducated mallams
All I have been heard and seen since I was born about islam is bloody, killing, violence, bombing, war, fighting, tell me if they are not barbaric and cannibal
These what you guys say that most provoke Muslims to extent that those who don’t really fear God to the core tempted to act violently. No Muslims will ever insult Jesus I have no hear or seen one before, the only insult Muslims can reign is to fellow human being who call themselves prophets (pastors) but why all these blasphemy if you don’t believe in Allah I do why don’t you leave me so why insults, even until a pastor does something wrong or say something bad before we Muslims condemn him and not Christianity
What about the innocent ones that was killed do they insult there prophet ? Your comment does not make sense use your brain before you write,was it written on what ever you use in worshiping,that we should fight for God or judge for him
I think muslims have green blood cells not d normal red blood cells God gave human beings
Who cares! Time to pray go to work
When you say insult the prophet what evidence do you have. Please Mona go and wake up the dead and ask them if they were using loud speaker to insult him on the street and how eight people planned it. Don’t justify this carnage don’t reason like an illiterate. Nobody have the right to take the life of another for whatever reason. We have police, military so many law enforcement agencies, court even local chief that can handle disputes. Don’t think you are talking to fools, only illiterate will agree with U.
Kenneth Williams u Don already dey mad cause e dey show for your face. We know no body dey argue with you. Abeg dey mad dey go….. U0001f4afU0001f4afU0001f4afU0001f4af
Kevin nobody is supporting the killings here..
@nura u talk with sentiments. .
Let me say it simple islam is evil , Muslims are devil most especially northern ones
What statement did he made or what did he do that blaspheme their god. Let us know.
Is that what you mean by peace? Laughable
The religion is not the problem. The problem is the religious people. Religion should be part of our lives and not our whole being.
Yeah Nura M Saddiq… Tell were u see Christians killing like this
Africans sacrificing they fellows Africans over an Arab who die 1400 years ago. This is craziness.
Thank you , time to pray
in islamic analogy, killing is an act of peace….what a height of IGNORANCE!!!
Mathias Adamu I was taught not to insult an elderly person talk less of Jesus, the day a Muslim brother insulted Jesus then he will be kill by Muslim brothers, talking about love? we really love evryone but we love prophet Muhammad much more than ourselves
I am not Muslim nor christian. I dont have to bring Revolution to Islam since it is not my Religion! But what I can do and actually do is educate myself and tell people about it. What they make of the knowledge is not my responsibility.
And it’s not Islam that Led to this disorderliness it is western politics, Mostly American!
Thank you for this comment bro, God bless you, and that’s what I see
Islam is delvish nd hopeless
Lol nothing will change that fact ! If you insult till tomorrow no time pls I wanna go and pray !
u dnt need to be, but d attitude of ur muslims brother far north is unbearable. They are tarnishing d image of Islam, if u dnt wake up and do something, people will keep viewing Islam as a devilish religion. I have muslims from my tribe, but they wont kill for Allah, y always d hausa? dey dnt have regard for human life.
yes….but you know that is not possible
Go nd ask about zangon kataf in 1992 wat happen to Muslim, in yalwan shandam jos, 2000 wat heppen to fulani, uncountable times in some village in north, Muslims were killed nd bone alive, in imo state in 2001 owere uncountable Muslim’s were bone alive, luk if u don’t no something just keep shot,
Nd again all Christians no dat Muslim wll not allow anyone to say something bad about prophet, den why can u christen to avoid urself, bcoz dis is not the fist time since u no they don’t like u people to insult our prophet den keep salient dat all, but bcoz some stupid christen don’t understand, I swear to almighty Allah if u want peace stop insulting our prophet dat all,
is what they know as peace….so please wake up..
Please Christian’s in the northern part of Nigeria should respect their self and stop provoking these abokis .pls when you are in Rome u behave like a RomanU0001f60a
