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.
i think the office of Sultan should be given to a yoruba muslim so as to redeem d image of Islam in this country. My roommate in sch was a yoruba guy from Lagos. he prayed in d room when it is prayer time, i study my bible and pray at my own time. i do my prayer secretly not bcos am scared but because as d Bible ask us to do. All this took place in Zaria. I pray dat dey recieve spirit of wisdom and understanding.
Akai u re brainless

Yoruba Muslims seems to be different from hausa Muslims.
Follow ask them
Yeah! GOD will crush them all.
Angry peoples religion
Akai your are a big idiot.
Mona Briese You said it all,I am so happy to read such a nice comment from you,we Africans need to be educated by any means…Let us spread the the TRUTH…we have lost our track and it is time we return back to ancestral practice…..####
First Christian missionaries in Africa did not kill. It was slave traders killed Africans
Hmmm will…
Not all Muslim… I hv dem alot
d one i think is very bad is sum housa….there really hate christen…
I dont no y
@ Ismail Adewale, u got me wrong. i never said Islam will perish. my assertion is dat d hausa guys are giving it a bad name n dats just d truth. If a Christian insult ur prophet which i dnt encourage in ur presence, u may ignore him, but if he does dat in the presence of a hausa man, he will meet his untimely death. y are dey so quick to take human life for Allah? u guys need to enlight them.
Now compare JESUS CHRIST and MOHAMMED then tell me who is worthy to follow. Tell me how many time U see CHRISTIANS kill for JESUS CHRIST then see how ISLAM kills for MOHAMMED when U talk they start claiming that ISLAM is a peaceful religion and yet all over they world their names are WAR. It is a pity.
Gabriel Reuben to read and write is your Problem. Please go back to school and learn how to read and understand.
I use to defend Islam because I thought some were different but now I’m beginning to think otherwise. These people are really animals. Islam is a problem in Nigeria, I can see that now
Madness. You Dont fight for him( Mohammed), let him fight for himself. How many Christians have u heard killed for Jesus???
Well said… But let also try to verify what ever we read or hear,this story has no validation,it was a false rumour.
Of which religion are the 8 people? A good christian smiles and bring any critics of christ closer instead of killing. pls end this fakes because God says we should not kill human being for any reason, live vengance for God.
Muslims are animals
the only solution to this, is to get them well beaten and burnt too.Islam means peace and total submission to ALLAH ,there is no place in the holy Koran which states that they should kill or judge somebody,Allah is the only Judge .they practise Moslem but not Islam.
As you try to prove your point you sound more ignorant than ever. You are living in a country where is very peaceful and any little attack is link first to Islamic terrorist before investigation. Your history knowledge is faulty it’s not backed with intelligence and common sense. Just keep mute if have some self respect left in you.
@ Abdulazeez Bello, false rumour with caption to that effects in all d today’s major papers.
If any of her brother, cousin or relation have fall a victim or have been victimized, she will not be posting this trash here…Does she no the pain behind losing someone not to talk of some one you love…

All Islamic are one with the same character all over the world Mr. Simon Joash, they’ve been know as terrorise every wer they are or go, so even if the Yoruba Muslims wer not there when the incident happened but I swear they’re all in support whatever they do all in the name of their Islam which is very bad of them, at times I wonder if it’s this the same God we serve or their God are deferent,
That means ur so called Prophet Mohammed is incompetent and dumb.
If he can’t fight or avenge for himself against the people that blasphemed him.
Children of Belial
Yes, I get ur point. Since they kill Christians who blaspheme against their believes, it better we Christians avoid them completely .
News like these make me sad for been a Muslim
Mona Briese
Kenneth Williams it’s okay.. Stop raining courses like that please..
religion of peace…..
First Christian missionaries did not kill Africans. It was the slave traders killed Africans. Who do you think will make heaven? Christians? No. Muslims? No. Other religions? No. Only those who do the will of God will make heaven.
Remember a woman was killed few months ago for insulting Islam….her offense was objection to a Muslim neighbour doing ablution in front of her…..pls let’s know what he did that is blasphemous,for us to be fair in our judgement
Any right-minded person should not only blame these people but also the people that first talked evil about their faith and the prophet Muhammad bcos why speaking against their religion and the prophet after knowing clearly that if they do, it would make them angry.Although wot the muslim students did should b condemned and the people involved should b arrested and prosecuted.This is not what Quran and the prophet of Allah told us to do when something of this happened.Hausa muslims,u should try and act according the Quran and hadith of the prophet Muhammad,if u truly practice Islam.Islam forbids us to take the life of innocent souls no matter what.
That was old testament, remember Jihad, let’s sute to a new caring and peaceful life (at) Mona Brie
Pls don’t creat tension in town yesterday it is in imo Now in zamfara
Wicked world we live
It wasn’t a force rumour Abdulazeez Bello
“islam” is a CULT, not a religion! This is what an average muslim in your neighbourhood is capable of doing! They are always fulfilled killing CHRISTIANS like chickens! All in the name of their BLOOD THIRST slave called “mohammad”! The earlier CHRISTIANS believe this the better! This killings of innocent citizens is never going to stop because they have been CURSED! CHRISTIANS need to change their awareness, stand up, and be more vigilant !!!
If Islam is a religion of peace… Show me one country tht practice Islam tht is peaceful….. Mohammed was dead very long time ago… Why do his followers still kill for him….
You all voted for change, now you see seeing change and you are complaining?
We live in a wicked world where atrocities are celeberated, who sent them to fight for religion, some human mentality are false
Calamity and disaster will never depart from the Hausa,those who are involved in this will never never be Free
@osawaru,i Can seee u very daft.u re sayin rubbish.re we nt soppose to b one?
whats is the difference between Islam/Muslim???? can any Muslim enlighten me on this?
Thanks Neo Phill !!!
Before Religion came to Europe and the Kings forced the people to believe the tribes in Europe haven’t been too different from african tribes. They practiced other stuff and no Religion like Christianity.
I think that Religion destroyed a lot lot!
allah nd jehova are two dif entities allah is aka devil jehova is aka God
Ignorant and poverty inclined people. Why fight for Allah? Let Allah fight for himself, and who gives right to administer punishment. Heartless muslims
Can you please give me one website that is run by a muslim which insult jesus?
God have mercy
Onedibe Chelseaboy Tochukwu nope not me
How many time have Christain beheaded any Muslim for blasphemy Christ? The truth is that your people like sucking human blood.
Then convert now to Christian now before it too late
Has the government finally turned the country into Islamic state?
Everyday Muslims kill Christians yet nothing happen…and u still want one Nigeria.
We need biafra
Stupid fool… Are you like Jesus?
Be deceiving yourselves… Goat
God help us and save us from d hand of this men.
Lol…just noticed dat dis Anie of a bitch is on a quest for cheap fame nd recognition
What can you do?
Mona, you are neither Christian nor Muslim, face your own business.
bloody liar. whoever that hired you to make this kind of comment against Christianity God will punish you and your generation for that, wait and see.
#@abdulganiyy I Like Wat U Said Bt Point Of Correction Its Nt Only Christian That Do Insult Or Sayin Bad Words To Prophet Muhammed, Many Muslim Also Do Saying Such Words To Christian Even I Can Still Boldly Sayin It’s Happening Around Here Among Ebira People And Some Yoruba.It Was Only God Wil Help Us Out Of This
Ok U0001f602U0001f602U0001f602 we’ll see. It was probably the devil that hired me.
Even though its obvious you are already cursed
if anyone would blasphem the holy prophet i would burn them to
@Tosin plz end of discussion nd Ur preaching… let’s simply call a spade a spade…have U ever killed a Muslim because they insulted Jesus Christ? plz stop pretending to be a saint nd face de truth Oga
Yea watch out. I put a spell on you U0001f601
Mr., are you blaming the victims of the murder for the misfortune? That’s ridiculous and preposterous. Even in UAE, a Muslim country that is ruled and controlled by Islam, you don’t kill people whenever you want because you feel offended by their words. The court exists for a reason.
Mona, u are a brave woman and I will like u to convert to Islam, those people that making negative comment about Islam and Muslim they are already lost is only god can save dem.
In Islam your faith is nullified if u don’t believe and respect the prophets including jesus cause we believe jesus is a messenger like Muhammed unless u have a different God other than jesus if u believe he is God or God son.
Note that even if u worship a stone nobody have the right to insult your God. U worship whatever u want and others worship whatever they want cause we live in a free world that’s my opinion and how I think and that’s what Islam is about.
I don’t know what is wrong with them. How can you take a life that you cannot give just because he said something against your religion. Who authorize them to kill? The Prophet Mohammad might be paying his dues for all the atrocities that he has committed, but here they are killing for his seek. For seek your evil ways and embrace peace
Why should anybody in their right senses if not from that state still live amidst them in the far north after repeatedly seeing these things happen?
False rumor like the woman killed in Abuja, like communities killed and houses burnt by herdsmen, like woman killed in Kano and Hausa boys running around street with her head as though they were celebrating a trophy won, which one is rumor amongs them
See one goat here dat claim to study pure chemistry but yet uncivilised. Dis are d types dat tarnished Islam. Abdulrahman get some brains n stop being a fool. Ur moslem brother from d other part of the country acknowledge that u people are d cause of this killings in Nigeria.
Coded Heaven Mustbemade Muslim Are the people who practice Islam …. Islam is perfect but the people are not perfect that’s the difference
Register this in your mind.
U will live to regret this insult on our prophet,…mark my words. #Coward
@Tosin U are nt in support of de killing but U are encouraging de killing with Ur senseless points nd U claim dat U are wise abi?…beta go take a nap
Islam is not western style peace. And can you please tell me according to your peacefull islam what the law says about blastphemy?
Well said my brother
And then they call Islam the religion of peace….bitch they are…
if you have to fight for God then your God is a weak god.
Truth need to be told,
If that is the case Then there’s no need for the qur’an and hadith.
May God bless u
I’m proudly a cultist
After all it is the christians that stands on the shadow of islam to cause chaos through sponsorships and donations from christian organizations and countries. A good example is America, In America selected people of different countries who are christian are sponsored to learn islamic teachings and other evil deeds which islam forbids so that at the end when they come back to their countries to set up terrorist group all in the name of islam. In my opinion Christians are terrorist
Islam is a cult
Noneses, killing is u people food
Nemesis will caught up with u Muslims one day
