Deborah Samuel: Aisha Yesufu reacts as youths attack churches in Sokoto


Aisha Yesufu, social activist has strongly frowned at reported attacks on churches in Sokoto State by suspected Muslim youths.

IDOMA VOICE reports that protest broke out in Sokoto on Saturday following the arrest of the suspected murder of Deborah Samuel.
Deborah was murdered after she allegedly insulted the Prophet Mohammed on a school WhatsApp group.

Reacting, Yesufu said the protesters were actually the ones disrespecting Prophet Mohammed (S.A.W.).

Aisha Yesufu tweeted, “Attacks on churches? Where are the violent and bloodthirsty clerics? Is attack on religious houses not forbidden by Islam?

“Did the Prophet not stop and warn against attacking churches and synagogues? Who is disrespecting the Prophet more?”

Governor Aminu Tambuwal on Saturday imposed a 24-hour curfew on the state metropolis for fear of bloody protests.

Security operatives were stationed in strategic places to forestall any breakdown of law and order.
