Deborah Samuel: Sultan of Sokoto tells Christians, others what to do over student’s murder

The Sokoto Sultanate Council has condemned the killing of a female student of Shehu Shagari College of Education in Sokoto State.

IDOMA VOICE reports that Deborah was stoned by some male Muslim students and set on fire, for allegedly insulting Prophet Mohammed.

The development has triggered angry reactions from Nigerians, who lamented how some human beings easily lose their conscience in the name of religion.

The school management has since shut down academic activities in the institution till further notice.

Reacting, the Sultanate Council in a statement issued by its secretary, Sa’idu Mohammadu Maccido, called on security agencies to ensure that the perpetrators are brought to book.

The council called on members of the public to remain calm and live peacefully with one another.

The statement reads, “The Sultanate Council has learnt with dismay the unfortunate happening at the Shehu Shagari College of Education, SSCOE Sokoto that led to the loss of life of a female student of the institution.

“The Sultanate Council condemns the incident in its totality and has urged the security agencies to bring the perpetrators of the unjustifiable incident to justice.

“The Sultanate Council has urged all to remain calm and ensure peaceful co-existence among all people of the state and nation.”
