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 hate Islam . they are blinded from the truth
Neo Phill oh what nonsense !!! Wake up bro, what ancestral practice are u talking about ? The barbaric one! Killing of twins, dedicating first male child to a deity, worshipping man made gods, that have eyes but cannot see and legs but cannot walk, bro u need Jesus in your life, and as for u my dear Mona briese the book of Joshua chapter 24:15 would be perfect for u; and pls stop the blasphemy. Thanks
if u re, follow d catholic doctrine @ Anie.
Once So called Christians who lives among Muslims stopped putting their mouth in any gist concerning Mohammed and Koran.. stories like this will stop to occur….. CHRISTIANS STOP BLASPHEMING (2 Timothy 3:1-5)
Where is the government in all of these? Where is the security forces and their constitutional role of protecting the citizens. Even under Boohari Nigeria is still a failed state. The police will run to jail a citizen accused of naming his dog Boohari but cannot protect citizens being killed extrajudicially by Islamic extremists
And you want us to believe they are not true pastors abi?
I bet God will not pardon people that deliberately cause troubles but He may pardon those who react virulent out of being human.
Pls give us the link. I know lie is part of your lives
Religion must die for humanity to livr
Since everybody knows fire burns, no one want to touch.
Why all the causing and hatred among us, why the deliberate aggressions and all that.
No nation has ever survived religious war, when you destroy the whole nation, I think our souls will rest.
I am a Christian not because 8 want to be but because my parent were Christians and I believe many are Muslims to just becauae the parent were Muslims.
So, why fighting about what you know nothing about?
As a matter of fact, based on personal experience and my encounter with other people, Muslims have been more humane than Christains in the society at large.
It is not blasphemy to say that there are similarities between religions and to say that colonization also brought Religion!
You can deny it all you want but it is the truth!
The only arguments you have are some bible Verses. Well that is not too much and also proves that you are not think for yourselves! God can not do the thinking for you too!
Abdi Fatah Mohamed you’re fool. For as long as you can’t let your so mohamed fight his fight, he’s a coward
Islam has serious issues

#oraka,may the wrath of Allah be on u, u swine ! Aameen !

What is wrong with some people in dis country? Can’t we respect our religious differences?
seriously Yakubu, it means u r substantially ignorant of the happenings in the world, the so-called muslim are the most abusive people when it comes to religion.
really, are u sure u r a muslim, if all christians in Nigeria were to reason like you, there will be little or no muslim left in the country
What are they fighting for?
I never trust Muslims before in my life. They are very deadly. The eradication of Islam, is the beginning of peace.
#Mahat Kassim may wrath of Almighty God be upon you. You murderer, may the blood of the innocent souls u have murdered for your useless Muhammad never allow have peace. Amen
If you blaspheme again we will kill hundred of you ,becouse our faith has been valuable than any thing in the world
Illiteracy and poverty
Remove religion on the surface of Earth and the world will become Stable.
Prophet Mohammed is a pure prophet of God. Everybody knows about that. And i dont think people can be talking bad of him. Pls stop behaving like moderers. We are brothers and sisters in one Nigeria. Pls i beg of u. This killings is getting too much Northners.
They are always fight for their deaf, dumb and demonic gods
U are wrong about ur revelation
The 8 people killed were all Muslims ! Did you mentioned that? Only one Christian was beaten and was taken to hospital by a Muslim man whose house was torched down! So those blaming Muslims should just get a life! I hate violence too
I will keep you guys in prayer. The lord will open your eyes of understanding. God is real, and I pray you have an encounter with him. You will make a good evangelist. God bless you.
Lawal Abdullahi Sara, Abdi Fatah Mohamed passing threat is a criminal act I believe you should watch what you say pls becos any act of violence will be investigated and if found guilty will be charged
Now, if your god tells you to kill on his behalf, then try something different because all murderers will burn in hell

After going through Mallam YakubuAdamu’s profile, I was surprised that people of these kind still exist on this planet earth. You will be tracked by the enforcement agencies for your comment until you’re caught. You are dangerous person and might be potential threat to people around you.
Useless idiot,born by mistake your mother must be an imbecil…may your ear turn to your mouth and never see good in ur whole life for speaking against christianity….you re worshippin a dead person
If they did that please don’t call them Muslims they just non believers that’s not Islam
Nura M Saddiq be for the last time no threats
This very last Sunday, I observed one girl with big ijab entering the church premises when the service was on, nobody attack her with that but if a Christian deer do such, you will kill in especially abokis…. Where is d peace you people claimed your religion is?
that is what u people keep saying…. why not tell them in their faces that what they are doing is evil?
Asif Khan You are a stupid man by saying
that, how many times have u people said all sort nonsense about Jesus
and did anybody kill any of u guys? that will show u that our God fight
our battle for us and not the other way round. When you fight for your God or for your religion that means that particular religion is powerless and it can not defend you, what is the reason of worshiping him when he can not defend you?
Normally according to holy Quran no human should kill any living human beings only if u can create human being. Tell me can create human beings. …We Muslim need to wake and safe d name of Islam. Kill them too
Islam is perfect but Muslim are not .And remember not because his name is Musa make him a Muslim. Everyone can b Musa
But we nigerians like trouble a times we know dis people don’t like hearing that and we keep doing it
This government will never say something concerning this tragedy since it concerns hausa fulani juhadist, if it is biafra they will be running there month like parot
You are a big fool and i promise you that what you said about those dead bodies must surely happen to your whole family and my God must surely let it happen to you and your whole family for you to know that killing is evil, your family will also experience that same tragedy in Jesus name. Many times Muslims have insulted the name of Jesus Christ but nothing happen to them and i am telling you now as a servant of God that you must experience that same death for you to feel the pains.
No matter how you think you know about life a day is coming that you will realise but that will be too late,the day you will die and see yourself in another side; think brother

No need to kill for your (g/G)od can’t he defend himself.
This is muslman liaer, Oooo my God why this people its very shiiit, this is people is a Devil U0001f621U0001f621U0001f621
Can dey prove d blasphemy, or d frustration of d current government is being melted on d Christians
Is quiet understanding that their god is a dead god if not so they will be no point at all course kill any body because he speaks bad against your religion “over my dead body will bowed down my head to worship the god of Muslim is a deadly god, god of no forgiveness, god of blood, god of the dead, nothing good ever comes out them since i know them just only kill, in fact if i become the president of Nigeria will advise them if truly their serving a living God let them stop socking blood of innocent people or i stop them both our current president is among of what is happening now.
God is LOVE, those who worship true god must love everybody. they don’t kil.
Muhammad Musa Adam the higher killer…continue killing hundreds of innocent soul..at the end you’re still gonna die too…murderer
Anyone that wants to insult Islam should do this privately not publicly or maybe wen these animals ain’t around because its a suicide mission doing it in their faces … Les b wise U0001f436

Northerners are very wicked people .GOD help the Christian staying of there so risky
Muslims and Terrorism when will this people receive sense and come off all this shits?
Sheep..tink b4 toking #moron
That pig Allah
Stupid religion. Terrorist
Waa see this nonsense..
Oh oh oh. Where are those people that remanded a man for naming his dog buhari? Lives have been taken, not the first, not the second and it won’t be the last. This is what am saying. This monogamous leadership isn’t taking Nigeria an inch away to peace. Those miscreants should be caught an used as a lesson. Where is this so called leadership?
If any religion followers cross the basic sense of humanity, they has to be destroyed in natural ways – would be by themselves. Sorry to say. But it is simple that religion is for good of mankind. Not to kill people. So, the people who are killing other people by the name of religion, they are actually destroying that religion.
BAe EhLa this man is satan agent now

Pls insulting any one will not bring back the dead, pls stop
Na there way of religion of peace
Abdulganiyy Bolaji Yusuf, you should have omitted the first part of your comment. That was a mistake.
“We react in different ways”. You have just agreed to the reaction so no need to mince words on that anymore.
From your name I guess you are Yoruba. Have you been involved, and I mean really involved in such crisis in the northern parts of this country??? I ask this question because I want to advice you from experience; if you are involved in a crisis there, they will butcher you along with the Christians. You know why? Because whether you like it or not, you’re just a bloody “Yoruba man” to them, muslim or not.
#Runalongwiththechristiansduringcrisis
How many northern Muslims do you see here speaking against this act???
#importantQuestion
christian with there believe and wrong things you hear about my religion
In the beginning there was God, still is, and will continue to be. God made the atheist, those that don’t believe in any God. Christianity was introduced due to the constant killing for one sacrifice or the other to a god that didn’t exist. African religion is a dark practice the missionaries came to abolush to save mankind and bring them to light, the light of the living God that I serve. When it comes to Christian and Muslim, I think the atheist should have no say because they have no God and have no idea what having one means.
I’m not in support of killing of any human life but everyone should be wise now about how these north people behave, I can’t imagine myself there and start talking rubbish when I know it’s against their believe you are in their and land and you should show some respect as Christianity is a religion so is Islam I respect all religion
Effiong Michael Akpan at lest they should have watched what they are saying in front of these people don’t they see what’s happening in Syria they should have learn from there
Awolola Yeanca Kristy we should be one when we respect each other religions
Don’t criticize the religion, criticize the people doing these evil acts.
Good question @Olaniyi
Chioma Akabogu Islam have their own way of practice their own religion and those people should have know to kill a Christian they will not think twice they joked with their lives
May God in his infinite mercy help Nigeria..
Halliru Ali Shehu this is what we are talking about, we are not even against Moslems, read my comment and understand it before you vomit rubbish, we all are aware of the wickedness of Hausa’s moslems, am sure you know about the christian woman who was killed by Hausa’s Moslems in the north few months ago. Anyway your comment has giving you away as one of them, Moslems I know are humble and respectful, you’re the type giving Moslems bad image, I believe you’re either drunk or have taking drugs to say that Christians don’t respect other religions.
This is so not islam in the time of the prophet muhammad sws was call all type of name and he never kill any one. He was stone call all type of name u people better learn your islam
Thats all they understand…wickedness.
They are turning into something else by killing unnecessarily. What about the Muslims that burnt churches, destroyed the image of God, but the Christians didn’t kill anyone of them because they believe their God will fight for himself. Then why didn’t these ( Human Animal ) Muslims leave their Muhammad which they so much believe as their Religion, to use his own power to fight for himself alone ? Or is it a Cult that any one can be offended & start fighting who is not a member of that same Cult. This heartless behaviour is becoming unbearable. The Christians don’t behave like that, they don’t fight for their God, because they know & believe the God they serve that He will use his own power to fight for himself Ok.
Do you have to follow anybody? Are these not things that ignorant ancient men formulated in their heads? Why do we in this modern world still have to subject ourselves to ancient ideas that dont stand up to any kind of scientific scrutiny or query? This facebook we are using did it come from the quoran or the bible? Religion has no use in modern society. It is only backward societies that still cling to it. And they are backward precisely because of that very religion. Human beings are killing each other over what in reality is complete nonsense!
final answer my frnd
Mohammed Musa Adam I am reporting you to Facebook for making death threats! Islamist terrorism will not be tolerated!
But who’s supposed to be offended, Allah or people. #false gods
But christian and muslim are earthly business why to kill each other.thats why am very proud to be Ugandan.coz ug no more nonsence ov that kind.so God forgive them as they don,t know what ever happening.Asians,European are to be belemmed for such acts..
