Blasphemy: Controversy surrounds slain Sokoto student's burial in Niger

Deborah, who was stoned to death and burnt by her fellow students for allegedly making a blasphemous statement on a WhatsApp group, has divided her community over whether she should be buried or not.

While the family insists on burying her, the ECWA Church leadership and the youth insist on returning the corpse to Sokoto state. Maji added that the deceased father left on Friday and returned with her remains on Saturday morning. “Our leaders said that they do not agree that she should be brought back just like that without being accompanied by government officials or officials from the school.

'And Joash said unto all that stood against him, Will ye plead for Baal? will ye save him? he that will plead for him, let him be put to death whilst it is yet morning: if he be a god, let him plead for himself, because one hath cast down his altar.' Judges 6:31 KJV

I feel pain... Big pain in my heart for her 🙏🙏🙏 let her rest in peace 🙏🙏🙏 PLEASE That poor Lady has gone through a lot p

I wonder what they're learning in school . It's wrong to be the accuser, judge, jury and punisher in a civilized world. Religion should not be used as an excuse for violence. What happened to religious tolerance and love? How do they expect to win people to Islam with such act?

please stop using this word blasphemy otherwise show us the exact comment she made that was blasphemous.

This is barbaric may the soul of Deborah rest in the bosom of our Jesus Christ... Amen

Election is around the corner, its time we use our vote to send them packing we were never one nigeria.

Wetin she talk way be blasphemy. They should tell how she blaspheme 🙄

The foolishness of Man cannot be overemphasized.We struggle & fight for many tins in this world, yet we die wit nothin.The Most peaceful place on earth is d CEMETERY. Where all d dead coexist witout any form of race, grudges, religion, hatred or any evil vice established by Man.

It’s very disheartening to watch your fellow human being killing another human being in the name of “don’t insult my prophet”. Some Muslim adherents in Sokoto have embarked on random killings of people of other faiths. This is disheartening to watch.

Oh God! May this innocent blood be avenged in Jesus' name ...

No parent should bury a child 😭😭😭. Only if we have a world of ordinary people living life the way God wants us to.

Not even the opportunity to say farewell 😭😭

Even the dead can't rest in peace in this country. 😓

Anyone that commits or supports that BARBARIC and INHUMANE ACT in the name of blasphemy is EVIL. No two ways about that. Those perpetrators SHOULD face the wrath of the Law. What a country!

No religion or group of persons is monopoly of violence, na peace we all want to unite Nigeria. Niger- Delta oil is the only thing uniting Nigeria, believe it or not.

Let's see what she said in their class chat . This murderer must not go unpunish. Even if she insult one person known to them as Prophet must the take law into their hands by killing her . And they say one Nigeria. Na three Nigeria we get o. Because different people with laws

In Niger 🙄
