Blasphemy: Buhari, CAN, NASFAT Condemn Killing Of Student

President Muhammadu Buhari and religious organisations have condemned the killing of a second-year student of the Shehu Shagari College of Education, Sokoto, Deborah Samuel.   

The incident happened after an allegation that she had blasphemed Prophet Muhammad (SAW) on Thursday.  

While the chief missioner of the Nasrul-Lahi-l-Fatih (NASFAT), Imam Abdul-Azeez Onike said extra-judicial killing was alien to Islam, the general secretary of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Joseph Bade Daramola called for severe punishment for the perpetrators.  

The president, in a statement issued Friday by his spokesman, Garba Shehu, noted that the news of the killing of the young woman by fellow students was a matter of concern, and demanded an impartial, extensive probe into all that happened before and during the incident.
