Governor Aminu Waziri Tambuwal of Sokoto State, on Saturday afternoon, declared a 24-hour curfew in Sokoto metropolis after protest had rocked the city.

According to a post on the verified Facebook page of the Sokoto State governor, the Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to the governor, Muhammad Bello, said the decision was “in pursuance of peace and order in Sokoto metropolis and the entire state.”

LEADERSHIP earlier reported how palpable fear enveloped Sokoto metropolis on Saturday as protesters in their hundreds trooped into streets to express their displeasure over the detention of two suspects arrested by the Police over the killing of Deborah Yakubu, a 200-level Home Economics student of Shehu Shagari College of Education, Sokoto, over alleged blasphemy.

Major streets such as Ahmadu Bello Way, Kano Road, where banks are located and Emir Yahaya Road, in the early hours of the day, were deserted with business places and shops closed.

However, attempts by the protesters to attack the Palace of the Sultan of Sokoto, His Eminence Alhaji Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar III, was resisted by security men on ground.

The grouse of the protesters, LEADERSHIP gathered, was Sultan Abubakar’s condemnation of the dastard killing of late Deborah Yakubu.

Unperturbed with the presence of security personnel in some strategic areas within the state capital, the protesters in their large numbers stormed Ahmadu Bello Way church line, where Catholic, Anglican, Baptist, ECWA and C&S churches are located.

Attempts by the protesters to set the St. Mary Catholic Church ablaze was also resisted by armed security personnel drafted to the area, who fired several cannisters of teargas to disperse the irate protesters.

The protesters, however, succeeded in burning down a car around St. Mary Catholic Church.

Nice one

I don't justified the killing of the Christian girl by fanatics Muslims......but she was wrong.....she shouldn't av called the teachings or saying of the prophet rubbish........knowing she is in a public group dominated by Muslims.

I am a Christian and an Igbo girl.....that sells stuffs at mile 12 market in Lagos ( a Hausa/Fulani dominated market.......95 percent consists of northerners.........while the remaining 5 percent consists of other tribes).

During the Muslim fast...........I usually eat in my shop.......and my nothern neighbours usually see me.......and they will be like "ba hajjimi" (meaning no fasting). I am always like no fasting oooooo......with a smile on my face.....and they will be like it's not good ooooo......that I should be fasting.....that fasting is good.....and I will be like no problem.....I have heard. Meanwhile in my mind I will be like because u people are fasting.....the whole world must fast with u......mtchew.

Another experience was yesterday when I wore a sleeveless knee length gown to the market......they saw me and said that I was naked was wearing clothes........I laughed and told them that I was only wearing pants and bra and that they should remove their eyes from my body so I won't make them sin

My point is in an environment u are the minority......be mindful of ur actions and utterances.

Nice one

Moon-slams

allah dey forbid protest against government they kept saying as excuse not to speak against Islamic terrorists

All of a sudden allah dey approve protest against government when Muslims are thirsty for blood

See what Eebows have caused in the most peaceful state in Nigeria
How many Eebows have been arrested for the harvesting of Army Officer's Vagina?

Those people arrested may not even be Muslims but impostors from the land of Slicing Vagina

you keep pacifying this people, failing to understand they won't stop till you are one of them

It's a commandment in their books that's why they believe they have this entitlement mentality over you

I understand your point of minority, but you are subjugated under them which they have tactically placed you in

It's only until the time is right or the indices set in they would tell you they are no more comfortable with mere subjugation that you must be one of them or die

They question you on things that your parents won't even ask you, and you smile thinking you are helping yourself, they are gradually expanding the scope over you

When they are in minority no body tells them what to do, they get their own pseudo laws

Rule 2

Most of these northern politicians know what's up. They know that the south are no longer ready to take shlt from them and that any slightest thing can trigger the disintegration of this country.

Way to Go.....


Like say make the matter escalate sef make everywhere burst....


Headslammers need to be dealt with ruthlessly....

I just love how united the Muslims are.. we Christians are to divided to stage a protest of this magnitude. Kudos to the Muslims for guiding their beliefs with all seriousness.

They will threaten him with his presidency aspiration now and the Curfew will be lifted

Nonsense people

His aide was praising the killers same day!!!

Peaceful locations are becoming the hotbed of terrorism these days.

All these rubbishes were caused because of politics.


Army regime will be highly welcome

I pray what I'm smelling doesn't come

Pray for Sokoto
Pray for Nigeria

It took you how long to place a curfew after the abominable act. Well U Muhammedians are used to rubbish.

Shame on Muhammed (No PBUH)

Bring me Muhammad and I shall stake a stick up his a** and get a cheap hoe to squirt in his mouth.

Deborah spirit will hunt all of una.......

moon sighting pipu are TERRORISTS

They don't need curfew, arrest those students that killed Deborah, televise and let us watch them die too.

The worry here is that people commited murder openly and aren't even remorseful.
Worst still, they have people from the highest places who tactically support and approve of their actions.

God punish Muhammad., person wey dey hell fire already.

Fire on the mountain

You are terrorist and should be dealt with.
The most dumbest people I've ever met growing up in the north are these illiterate Muslims.
I remember my university days in Usman Danfodio University, where these guys on just seeing any Christian personality on TV will rain all manner of cusses. Even my hostel mates who never knew I understand and speak Hausa fluently will speak all manner of evil as if Christians are the cause of their poverty and backwardness.
I kept a low profile there until I couldn't cope and left.
Let's not even talk about the almajiris who are now recruited by bandits and Boko Haram.

The irony in this image and the images coming out of Sokoto at the moment.

One would expect that it would be the Christians protesting an extrajudicial killing of one of them right now and not the other way round

Hmmm
