The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) has condemned the killing of Deborah Samuel, a female student of Shehu Shagari College of Education, Sokoto state.

Deborah was attacked by a mob and set ablaze over comments purportedly considered to be an insult to Prophet Mohammed.

A video of the student being stoned and beaten with sticks was shared on social media on Thursday.

The incident has sparked outrage with many Nigerians calling for justice.

Reacting to the development, MURIC, in a statement signed by Ishaq Akintola, its director, said the Quran and Prophet Mohammed condemned violence, adding that the “aggrieved students” should have reported to the police and Hisbah.

“MURIC strongly condemns this killing and all others that have been happening in Nigeria in recent times. Those aggrieved by the student’s post should have reported her to the security agencies or to the Shariah police, the hisbah. Mob killing is archaic and bohemian. It belongs to the Stone Age. Nobody has the right to take the law into his hands.” the statement reads.

“The Glorious Qur’an compares the killing of a single person to the killing of the whole of humanity just as it compares the saving of a life to the rescue of all homo sapiens (Qur’an 5:32) In like manner, Prophet Muhammad (SAW) himself condemned all acts of violence and advocated peaceful conduct at all times.

“But this incident should not be condemned in isolation. The recent trend whereby Nigerians now freely shed their brothers blood should be condemned by all patriots. In this regard, we also strongly denounce the killing of several northern Muslims in the south-east in the past few months.

“We frown at the recent burning last week of a truck fully loaded with cows in the south-east as well as the killing of many Muslims of south-east origin by their Igbo brothers in the same south-east. We note with keen interest that Muslims in the morth did not retaliate when these killings were taking place.

“MURIC calls on the Sokoto police command to do everything within its power to get to the bottom of yesterday’s killing of the female student over alleged blasphemy.

“We appeal to members of the public to remain calm and law abiding. Nigerians should allow the police to carry out its investigations on the case. The Sokoto police command has started well as it already has two suspects in detention for the killing.”

Same here. Good talk

Be like say Prof Ishaq woke up on the right side of the bed today

Nice one from Prof Akintola.

That barbaric act must be condemned by sane minds

Good one, never take laws into your own hands

The guys must face murder charges

See how they wasted this beautiful soul because of a man who died years ago. ..

It shall never be well with those who stain their hands with blood ..

Big Amen to that

is this actually coming from MURIC?

... it is probably because general election is around the corner and they really need christian votes to continue staying in power, so they have to say something pleasing to their ears.

Anyway, I refused to be fooled.

If not because of southern Nigeria the way north will poor in fact they will be eating each other because many country in the world would have sanction them.

You should tell that to the jungle Abuja imma. The cannibal mob sense false religion dude with empty brain. The murder and killer apologist imma.

But other imams are hailing the ugly incident

I hope some people will finally stop disturbing us about MURIC not condemning the action of the pigs that killed Deborah.

May Deborah soul Rest In Peace.

Believe this man at your own peril.
I'm not that foolish to think he said this without deception to the public while he applaud the murderers.

For the first time in my life and on nairaland seeing a Muslim group (MURIC) For that matter condemning such attack...
....they should also do more apart from condemning it.they should call for the arrest n prosecution of the two guys involve in the killing!

Taqiya

I'm still in shock

Unbelievable

“The Glorious Qur’an compares the killing of a single person to the killing of the whole of humanity just as it compares the saving of a life to the rescue of all homo sapiens (Qur’an 5:32) In like manner, Prophet Muhammad (SAW) himself condemned all acts of violence and advocated peaceful conduct at all times.





You were on the right part till you got the the lieabove

Why comparing what happened in the east to killing of this lady? Are ipob/ESN killing in the name of christian religion? Where was Muric when burning of truck and killing happened in the east weeks ago? Why joining the two issues together to score a point or logically/indirectly justify the killing? Islam will be condemning with left hand, but kills with right hand. How long are we going to continue with this deceit? Is this the first time this type of killing occur?

This religion will keep killing people with one hand and condemning with another hand until they nearly kill everybody. Why is religion of peace brings pain/death/killing to the world? And these people will be condemning peaceful Bible blindly while there are lots of controversies and misinterpretations in quran that mislead followers and encourage terrorism and killing in the guise of religion which requires attention of Islamic scholars to correct. This is too shameful even for Muric to defend

Mumuric condemned after Satan of sokoto has condemned. Umu ekwensu only sucking blood.
