Sokoto residents plan mass protest for the release of Deborah Samuel killers – [See protest IV]

Tension rises in Sokoto State as the Islamic brethren of the State plan massive protest over the arrest of Deborah Samuel’s killers.

In a recent event, the state’s residents have scheduled time to embark on a mass protest for the release of those that had hands in the murder of 200 Level student of Shehu Shagari College of Education, Deborah Samuel.

TopNaija had reported earlier Deborah Samuel, said to be in her 200 level at the institution was attacked after she condemned religious posts by her Muslim coursemates in a WhatsApp group meant for sharing academic materials.

Her actions were declared blasphemy by the Muslim faithful who went to her hostel to beat her to a pulp before burning her alive.

The development has attracted the attention of the general public, religious leaders, and the security agencies as they arrested and took into custody, two suspects.

According to the Sokoto police spokesman, Sanusi Abubakar, the mob overpowered campus security before killing the female student and setting her remains on fire.

However, while major stakeholders are trying to ensure the situation does not erupt further damage, a circular obtained by SaharaReporters on Saturday, May 14 written in the Hausa Language, beseeched Muslims in the community to come out en mass to protest against the arrest of the suspected killers of Deborah.

The leaflet carries a schedule of the protest stating clearly their aim.

The writeup scripted in the Hausa language reads thus in English: “We’re inviting Muslims in Sokoto to come and help them rescue our brothers that were arrested because they were defending Islam and uplifting prophet Muhammad S.A.W.

“Gawon Mama Roundabout is where they’ll meet; Time: 9 am. For more details call those numbers,” the leaflet added.
