Bauchi commissioner for education Aliyu Tilde on Sunday continued his fanatical and inflammatory statements about Deborah Samuel, saying the murdered Christian student “foul mouth” and disrespect for Islamic beliefs in Sokoto, a Muslim-dominated state.
Mr Tilde claimed without evidence that Ms Samuel had been issued several warnings by her classmates to desist from making blasphemous statements against Islam, which purportedly went unheeded.
“That Deborah’s foul mouth was insensitive to danger and the beliefs of Muslims especially in a Muslim majority state like Sokoto, against the advice of her roommates, the law and the scriptures, including the Bible,” Mr Tilde wrote on his Facebook page on Sunday.
“The stupidity that the girl showed is so horrific that no Muslim would take it mildly,” the Sokoto education commissioner added.
Defending Ms Samuel’s murderers, the Bauchi commissioner said the fanatics killed her from committing another blasphemy since their previous warnings had been ignored. “It is also not her first time. She could repeat it because the law failed to be applied in the first instance,” he claimed.
He also mentioned that jungle justice had been going on in Sokoto for over 30 years in the name of killing people for blasphemy.
