Aisha Yesufu Condemns Church Attacks in Sokoto, Claiming Disrespect for Prophet Mohammed
Human rights activist and co-convener of the BringBackOurGirls movement, Aisha Yesufu, has informed Sokoto State youths who are attacking and destroying churches that their actions are disrespectful to Prophet Mohammed (SAW).
GIOTV reported earlier today that some youths in Sokoto staged a violent protest on Saturday demanding the release of two suspects arrested in connection with the alleged blasphemy killing of Deborah Samuel, a student at the Shehu Shagari College of Education.
On Friday, SaharaReporters reported that two students had been arrested in connection with Deborah’s murder.
In a tweet, Aisha said, “Attacks on churches? Where are the violent and bloodthirsty clerics? Is an attack on religious houses not forbidden by Islam?
“Did the Prophet not stop and warn against attacking churches and synagogues? Who is disrespecting the Prophet more?”
Governor Aminu Tambuwal on Saturday imposed a 24-hour curfew on the state metropolis for fear of bloody protests.
