Why arrest just one person when there are several others implicated in the mob action.Something tells me this issue will soon be swept under the carpet. An eye for an eye is the best justice.

No single apology; only expressing condolence. They know what they are doing.

The tone of the press release is too cold because as barbaric as this act is, the practise has been on for years without challenge.
Where were the security agents during this period?
Necessary actions need to be taken before nigeria go to another war

Yinmu. The real culprit is most likely somewhere performing ablution and sipping kunu. So unfortunate that we Yorubas have to be forced to co-exist with barbarians up North and even here in the south. Smh. R.I.P to the deceased.

I reserve my comment

Arrant nonsense here d chief malu a woman was brutally murdered in cold blood n dis d best u say?its a shame ma ur soul not rest until hunt down each n every one of those who cut life short wit d guise of watever amin

Well a good step for a start. Sanusi too should raign in on his boys and condenm this act, sound it to them they will be locked up or even be executed for murder if they do that again.

There is too much tension in d land already and every stakeholder shud endevour to preach peace.

Mrs Bridget Patience

Abeg d woman no get surname?

Even the Gov is trying to down play the gravity of the crime!

It is only in Nothern Nigeria that consultations are held before. The police swing into action!


Let for me the CP of kano state should resign 'cos his men were on ground when the crime. Was comitted they only succeded in rescuing the husband no gunshotz, no tear. Gas, no arrest no accidental discharge!

This morning. They are telling us only one. Person has been arrested!

Such scenerio are the reasons why this country is. A scam!

I. Bet u if that was a non Nigerian say Ghanian she won't be killed because of the diplomatic implications. This is why some of us believe a retstructuring of the sovereignity of this country has become an inevitable ventur

F******k muslims

What a f0olish statement!
What on earth do you need an apology for?
Is it apology that is needed or justice?
Sometimes we let bigotry to becloud our sense or reasoning.
So if the government apologizes you'll be ok even without the killers brought to book.
This is the same line of thinking that made people go hysterical because PMB did not go for the Ogoni clean-up "opening ceremony" - even though the man has followed the approval of the UNEP report with real-world action and the actual cleanup has started (and some are still wailing that he didn't come for the opening as if that is what matters to the Ogoni people or is he the one that has to physically clean the town?)

Kano government should do more than just condole the bereaved family. The arrested person must be DRILLED so as to name others that were involved and ALL OF THEM BROUGHT TO BOOK!

This is 2016, no time for unnecessary apologies but judicial action!

At least for the 1st time in history of Nigeria justice might actually be done and perpetrators of useless religious extremist mob action brought to book.

. Story story. They should pay 100million naira compensation or we will sue the life out of them and 1 billion naira as damages. Nonsense, by the time we are through with them their head will be correct.

Has anyone heard the exact blasphemy she committed? I have searched online but can't find it. How do we know if indeed there was a blasphemy as claimed? What this incident means that is an Adamu can falsely accuse you of blasphemy and you will be murdered without a recourse to defend yourself.

Finally the state government is forced to condemn the devilish act by his people. Imagine only one blood sucker has been arrested just to shameful lie the security are working. God is watching !

We re no longer one Nigeria

Quote me, u quote yurslf

Only one person arrested in a mob action? SMH for the people up North.

Even the arrested suspect will be release tomorow by Rabiu kwakwoso

Wretched and jobless soul. What concerns ur sickly PMB with the subject matter. U will still be shouting Sai baba even while being consumed by the dullard's incompetence and visionlessness.

That bastard mohammed and his brainwashed followers, they hate peace wherever they are. No wonder ISLAMABAD

Where are the heartless animals that were doubting this news yesterday?

well, thats a good start coz we all know that most of these crimes perpetrated by alimajiris up north, their leaders are usually in full support and none will blink But today, there is fear and tension in d land.

Deuteronomy chapter 13 verses 1 to 15
Please Christians read that passage of the Bible & educate me, but my understanding and yours are thesame, then tell me how many Christians can actually carryout this task.
This people uphold their god and talk rubbish of your God. You that day that Alhaji said Christ was just one of the prophets what did you do or say, when he was trying to tell you that Mohammed is greater than Christ, even when the name of JESUS appears more than that of Mohammed in their Koran, what did you do.

The Holy Bible Commanded: And he that blasphemeth the name of the LORD, he shall surely be put to death, and all the congregation shall certainly stone him: as well the stranger, as he that is born in the land, when he blasphemeth the name of the LORD, shall be put to death. [Leviticus 24:16]

later we go say we be developing nation.....
If we take religion as number one, we can't grow. Religion will divide us more than anything.... if you are a christian, keep it in your pocket, and if you are a Muslim, keep it in your pocket, at least we have Buddhist who won't commit such against any human, we have Hindus who won't do such too.
Its simple, if anyone claims his religion is of peace, let it be seen nahh, no need to talk, let people realize it by what we do, not say..... Nigeria can't grow with such act
When we die, God won't ask us of our religion, he is more of how we love and care for our fellow human, than more of how we put religion in our head.

my brother, don't contradict yourself with the bible o. Its a book one must understand, not just quote, that's why we are having issues with our church goers o

One mistake we easily make, is the tussle of power between Jesus and Mohammed, and this thing is so simple to realize.
Jesus and Mohammed no be, football clubs to dey argue about.......... (What is for Ceasar, let it be for Ceasar) we need to understand that thing, as it means 'for the sake of peace'

ss/se is due for referendum .

I don't know how old you are, but I can imaging your youthfulness.... you are spitting fire because you have never lived in the north as I can see, if you had for a week, you will understand that northern laws are so different to the southern laws......(what is for Ceasar, let it be for Ceasar).
I won't be surprised to see the perpetrators set free, this is a big NO NO in northern Nigeria, its just a shame as we keep deceiving ourselves that we are among the developing nations, we are way back in reality.

@the bolded
While I completely agree with that statement (I am assuming you mean everybody should respect other peoples' religion) I also strongly believe in justice. The people that were involved in this murder crime must be brought to book. We cannot just say what belong to "ceasar" must be given to "ceaser". "cearser" himself must know that their is a constituted authority and anybody that goes against it must be brought to book.
I don't know exactly what she did, but what I hear people saying is that she committed blasphemy. But the same people who turned themselves to God's judge in kano are the same ones that will be committing adultery, fornication, smoking, drinking burukutu and other alcoholic drinks.

While the state government is investigating this case to roundup as many people involved in this case, I'll like to see the emir of Kano (SLS) being an educated and well respected figure come out and condemn this act without reservation.
