Bishop Matthew Hassan Kukah of the Catholic Diocese of
Sokoto has expressed sadness over the killing of a female student of Shehu
Shagari College of Education Sokoto State.
The student who was
identified as Deborah Yakubu was lynched by some male Muslim students for
allegedly insulting Prophet Mohammed in a WhatsApp platform.
The unfortunate incident has continued to generate reactions
from concerned Nigerians who are demanding justice for the 200-level student.
Bishop Kukah in a statement he personally signed, called on
relevant authorities to fish out the perpetrators without delay.
According to him, those who carried out the attack must be
punished according to the law of the country, saying the matter must be treated
as a criminal case.
He said, “I have received with deep shock the incident that
occured in the Shehu Shagari College of Education Sokoto State leading to the
gruesome murder of Miss Deborah Yakubu, a 200 level home economics student
today
“We condemn this incident in the strongest terms and call on
the authorities to investigate this tragedy and ensure that all the culprits
are brought to book.
“The only obligation that is owed her immediate family, her
fellow students and the school authority is the assurance that those who are
guilty of this inhuman act, no matter their motivation, are punished according
to the law of the land.
“Christians have lived peacefully with their Muslim
neighbours in Sokoto over the years. This matter must be treated as a criminal
act and the law must take its cause”.
