A renowned Islamic cleric in Zamfara, Sheik Tukur Sani Jangebe, has condemned the killing of Deborah Samuel, the Shehu Shagari College of Education student who insulted the Muslim Prophet Muhammad.

Blasphemy: Zamfara Imam Condemned Killing Of Deborah, Supports Arrest Of The Suspects

 

Sheikh Muhammad Tukur Sani Jangebe, a former Zamfara State Commissioner for Religious Affairs who is now the Chief Imam of the Muslims Foundation mosque Gusau, being sponsored by a prominent Zamfara politician and a Governorship aspirant Dauda Lawal Dare, made the condemnation of the lynching and gruesome murder of Deborah Samuel when he was delivering his Friday sermon in Gusau the state Capital.

The Islamic cleric advised Muslims to abide by the teachings and lessons of Islam, saying even the prophet Mohammed, underwent several insults and humiliations but did not order the killing of his adversaries.

He said it was a very great sin for any Muslim to take such laws into his or her hands, saying that Allah did not ordain such Islamic injunction and called for the arrest and prosecution of the perpetrators of the murder for justice to the deceased family.
