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.
@Abudusalam for no reason will any body take the life of another person is not their duty to fight for their god if the god is alive he will fight for himself is bad habit and great disappointment to all Muslim
Muslims deserve to be insulted! Islam too deserves to be insulted!
very good gift its not all muslims did it,
Muslims are too violent. Maybe that’s what they preach in the mosque.
no no its not like that
Nothing is older than God Mona Briese you hear me?
Muslims never forced someone to convert or become one. Religion is by choice of Christian did than Muslims didn’t
Daryl Fadillah Dawil am back and Muslim lol
These Muslims are cursed forever
Ur so ignorant Christian kill people too it ant just Muslims. We believe in Jesus and never do we disrespect ya beliefs. Your preaching a war lol there is bad and good in all people.
It’s ridiculous to discuss something with religious fanatics…
If there’s a problem with Islam as a religion. Then fulanies are! And please note that not all Muslims are bad cause I myself have beautiful hearted Muslim friends and I love them.
Mona Briese That’s exactly what makes you ridiculous, because you know too well we’re fanatics of our religion so why discuss with us?
This days,if you insult I Muslim, he call it blasphemous and shout out to other animals, who may not even know the matter on ground but to kill,this people are sons of demons there major aim is to steal,kill and to destroy..
What madness is this may God save us in this country
What country is thisU0001f914U0001f633
They should be killed the same way they killed
Nigerians should learn how to teach their children nt to be a trouble maker in any where they are, u no why im saying this? Christens can nt do without blasphemy d Muslims ,insulting prophet Muhammad pbh. Is dat what take them to Zamfara? Or how many Muslims have u ever seen insulting Jesus? I’m not of the opinion of killing no bt in order for peace to rein let us always mind our business.
if there is anyone to get angry,it sholdnt be the muslims,…….. have you heard this song before”babalawo power,power less power…..” the traditionalists are extremely peaceful unlike the muslims
Useless pple with useless religion….bloody illiterate fanatics
The white people that brought religion to Nigeria have not kill themselves. Why are we killing ourselves. Oh God save us from these religion crisis.
Islamic is not a religion of peace but a war and stupid religion.
Bt dey call Islam the religion of peace, is the killing of the innocent souls a sign of peace? May God open thier inner eyes
U are wrong for the killings, we have Islamic judiciary in this country. So u don’t have the right to take law into ur hands. It is becoming too much. I believe if you report to the police, they will not take it lightly as it concern religion
Buhari paved way for ds. Mtchew
Over to you mbaka
I wonder if Christians kill Muslims for burning their church or destroying it just because they are praying, claiming they r praying on a wrong time… Is that nt insult to Jesus Christ n to church? .. N many others.. We r all human, n claim we love.. But foolishly we don’t cos wat is love without forgiveness.. Simply fake n pretense practices..
This people are nothing but animals.
Again?this is a barbaric act,u guys shud grow up we re in a civilized world ,what a religion
I wonder what is it the Koran and muhammad of the hausas teach. A human blasphemed an unseen deity then you silly religious bigots would rise up to fight for Your gods. like isn’t that too crazy!!!!! Muslims will never stop being the problem of this dead country.
They are pushing things the day the Lion of Judah is against the wall, that day Hell will be opened because the trouble makers killing Christian will be slaughtered and pushed in
Let us all pray for the Christians living in those places. Talata mafara where the killing is being happened, there are so many Christian corpers serving their fathers land in that land. Pray for them most especially
They should just be careful.nobody is happy that Christian’s are getting killed
Hmmm, this is really not good. But my greatest joy is that most muslims are opening up and speaking the truth. Let’s be real for once, any religion that supports the killing of another should be looked into. Is killing part of the teachings of Allah or the muslim religion? Yet we claim to be one nation, I’m glad people like Kadijat Morenikeji and Pape Barka who can say the truth still exist, let others learn from them. Killing your fellow human being whom you did not create is not good so does our bible teaches us. We don’t have the right to take any life we did not give, I don’t criticize any religion but if you guys give us reasons to doubt the Islamic religion , then I’ll be forced to believe that Islam is evil and devilish.
Mayowa Felix Arowoogun thank u for that word. He should save the pity for him self. Abdulganiyy Bolaji Yusuf just because u have never heard Christian beheaded Muslim over blasphemy that’s why u could not understand. Don’t worry our Lord Jesus Christ is not human that rewarded with ten virgins or what ever the stupid fake Muslims fights for. He is a merciful God that fights for Him self.
Just say it out u supported them for there evil art Abdulganiyy Bolaji Yusuf so don’t act sympathetic here ok . your religion are wicked and blood suckers. But the war will be holy war.
Hey you dare not condem ones religion you christians there is fire burning your house and you dont even care to quench it but rather helping others to quench theirs come to think of this ISLAM is a peaceful religion and IN SHAA ALLAH it is the best religion ever so please stop say FALSE things if you say then you quote from the bible where it was said thank you and may ALLAH forgive everyone his or her sins AMEEEn
DAT evil religion…terrorists..all they about is carry arms and terrorize peaceful people…don’t blame them,an even worst terrorist is sitting on the highest seat in the country,so tell me what to expect from mentally imbalance tribalist scums called Muslims?we better get some chains coz they are losinq it
You African Christians practice Christianity more than the people who forced it onto you through war and slavery
if thrz any bomber artk u day its Muslim any terrorist artk ist
if thrz any bomber artk u day its Muslim any terrorist artk ist
Religion have killed more than any war you can Think about. If all religion teach peace as they claim, why can’t the world achieve peace? Cos I believe atheists and traditionalists Dont kill or hurt people is only religious people does.
Religion aside… Hausa Fulani are born to waste lives check their linage.
Don’t confuse culture with religion because throughout history religion has done nothing but destroy culture regardless what continent, Island or country.
I fail to see your point. So if it was Muslims killing Muslims that now makes it alright? You say those blaming Muslims should get a life well you just blamed Muslims too for killing other Muslims and as for getting a life while if you think rubbish like this is excepted anywhere then you really are an issue on the planet because it’s not those who do evil that are the problem but those who stand by and watch evil happen and do nothing that are the problem.
Eye for an eye only makes the world blind, life of hard labour would serve the community better than an easy way out like death.
How long are we going to be silent on this people
Seriously, I really don’t like long conversations or something that will be giving me long notifications.
But something like this infuriates me. First and fore most; let’s get this straight.
You were not born in Africa and obviously not living there. You got all this information through reading and researches right??
So because you read stuff doesn’t mean you know that stuff don’t forget you read it.
My lineage was naturally ifa priest…
So gurl please don’t act like you know us.. It’s like me saying who Thomas Edison really was..
The stuff don’t Make sense.. You wanna know Africa true religion please come and live in my family house for a Year..
For clarity.. Christianity to me is not a religion… It’s a life giving to me..
Sorry I really don’t like typing epistle.. I just don’t like hypocrisy…
Selman Chapman my point is Islam is not violent! Plus the inhumane behavior is not right! Also I made my comment upon people’s comments about Islam ! Everyone to their opinion
Deji stop being judgmental you sycophant do you rily know anything about Islam. Leave about Islam do you rily know about Christianity. You are such a big looser. Wake up and stand against killing of innocent people stop blaming Islamic men. Cause these wars are being started by people like you. Style up big boy.
Is he God?its time you stopped dis madness
Samuel I can say you are learned but not educated. Men how can you atter such words and then call yourself a Christian. Go back to your old testament cause you don’t know what you are saying for sure you forget everything about your book and you remember nothing. What a looser. May Allah guide you to the right path
both islam and muslim people are confused ,which people are islam and which people are muslim, whats the different? is Ísis and bokoharam a muslim or islam ? explain to us because for me they are the same people.
Gifted ozoilo which part of the world did you come from cause you sound evil. Style up liitle girl we have seen such people like you who thinks they r right but surely and reality you sound stupid and primitive. Go back to your books and take that foolishness in you nkt
Tuchuku do you even ask your parents what’s the meaning of your name. I pity you bro cause you are discussing to your faith not even religious cause you know nothing. I won’t abuse you but you are so stupid that you even don’t know what your name means. For your information your name means stupidity pathetic young boy.
John Johnson. Am sure you end up in a kindegatern cause you are reasoning like a primitive person .Do you even remember your so called pastor name. Nop cause you are such looset like like your parents.
allah doesn’t exist unless he is satan
Shehu, you don’t have to blame him, he’s right. I do wonder why the northerners do act like that. It’s highly incredible
Allah nevers command us to do any of these. It’s inhuman
Hmmmm, even if this news is fake. This is a bad comment
Sa’ad are you promoting killing?
Go and learn
Haliru, subhana Allah, the reply you have is total bad. I’m a muslim, our cleric down here never teacher bad. I’m still wondering what’s still happening in the north.
Chioma, there’s freedom of speech? Why are people being arrest for slander?and libel?s
There are so many Muslims in my country but they live peacefully we do nothing bad to them .why we Christian are been beaten and killed in their country is it just because we believe in God ,or is it because we are Christian.how will you Muslims feel if we do the same to your people who believe in your Allah ……! religion does not matter which religion you follow .God is one . Christian are also human being stopped all this killings stay peace love one another as God love everyone of us…Amen
A very sad news.
Crying, Oh Allah!!! Help us. Well, we’re one nigeria, there’s government we can report to, whereas the government won’t take it easy for that that blasphemy. Let us not put laws into ours hands. I think the goverment should gather a huge money and sponsor all hausa children to at least secondary school of which they would have received a sound moral and western education.
Christans it is to open your eyes,this persecution is enough,why did we allowed Fulani to kill us like cattle,please God come and show them that you are power that pass power
Bella Ali I think you are wrong. Haven’t you been witnessing people being beheaded and slaughtered for renouncing Islam lately? Come on!
This is Islam. A story of violence through centuries and even in this era.Even hindu gods abd Christian churches have been insulted but we dont protest and burn people alive Intolerance and violence are the main traits of Islam.
@ Shehu, i dnt blame u. i now see reason y u run ur mouth like diarhea. the hausa muslim dnt see okene man as a muslim. For that single reason , i implore u to embrace Christ.
Christians are the terrorist, no any religion that practices peace like islam every one knows that, have you ever heard a Muslim blasphamed against Jesus Christ? But how many times you idiots have been doing that? May the course of Allah be upon you people one million times,especially you idiot bush meat Tochukwu Kingsely Oraka.(sex award winner) idiot.
The killings and unrest in the world are the muslim faithful, from isis to taliban to boko haram and many other blood sucking people are the muslim. God have mercy.
@Frank obi u are very stupid for ur coment,islam is not foolish,but some people in it,as u are foolish in christain,cos christains are nt bad u are foolish..
Hmm! So bad! May God help us.
Abdullahi Abubakar & Touray Lamin so you are both endorsing the killing of people in the name of religion? No one should kill someone because they don’t like what was said about their god. Any religion that endorse the killing of people is barbaric & retrogressive
It is the right time Christian should wake up from slumber.
Straight to the point human beings have weaknesses those who did this are people with psychological illnesses Mohammed is just a front bat this murderers are really sick they should check in psychiatric wards
Let ur muhammed fight for himself.
wow u are still replying dis jobless, useless idiot bigot. Lols am off to work
shame oni islame
people does not know what is islam, even the some muslims self does not know the religion, why taking order in to your hands, this not islam, why killing the innocent Christians, must you always cause hatred to islam? let us embrace the teaching of islam by having the knowledge of what islam is.
Islam literally means peace, but people practicing it called Muslims do not read and study d scriptures well. And they engage in aggressive practices to guard their religion. Most at time acting as God in the first place to judge and kill people. Even if its a peaceful religion, most people won’t see it that way.
Useless people with useless future and thinking
This aggressive practice of Muslims is in zongos by hausa people. I just don’t know why. There are zongos all over Ghana and their attitudes the same

Some people just enjoy killing and they will end up saying thats what Islam thought them. Its NOT. People who kill in the name of a religion have already bought their ticket to hell
Friends look at Abdulrahman Modibbo, is no different dan boko haram members that have soiled d name of Islam. Ewu, Akuya, wawa jaki.
Musah I think you confused cause I don’t think a Muslim would blaspem Muhammad or whatever his name is.
i laugh @ this blind xtains….let’s go back to history when the so called white colonial masters came to africa….for people that knows history “they impose Christianity on everybody and whoever turn down got killed” did you know how many souls went to sudden death through sake of christ your lord u guys mention.
There’s no justification for this and Ejim well said
ATTENTION PLEASE ! were r u christian go and read these sections in the bible and see a wonderful and amazing facts: solomon 6:15, deuteronomy 18:18, genesis 21, isiah 42:1to13, john 14:26, nd many more
It’s getting out of hands o.
What are they still doing in that ancient environment…
I always wonder why people fight about religion. That is, am this and his this Or they are this or that……HE GOD SEEES EVERYTHING. Let HIM JUDGE!!!!!!!
