President Muhammadu Buhari has demanded an impartial and extensive investigation into the death of Deborah Samuel.
The President has ordered security operatives to investigate the circumstances that led to the violence in Sokoto, which resulted in the killing of Deborah, a student of Shehu Shagari College of Education, Sokoto, on Thursday.
Deborah who is a 200-level student of the institution was killed on the campus of the college for allegedly blaspheming the name of the Prophet Mohammed.
On its part, the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) blamed the ugly incident on the failure of the government to deal decisively with blasphemy-related killings
Reacting to Deborah’s killing in a statement issued by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Mallam Garba Shehu, President Buhari condemned the killing of the student, even as he deplored the idea of people taking the law into their own hands.
According to the President, “no person has the right to take the law into his or her own hands in this country. Violence has and never will solve any problem.”
