Deborah Samuel Was Killed For This Reason-Course-Mate by TruthHurts1(m): 3:17pm On May 15, 2022
Outrage has continued to trail the killing of a Christian female student, Miss Deborah Samuel by a mob in Sokoto on Thursday over alleged blasphemy with the British Government and the Christian Association of Nigeria joining the calls on the government to bring the perpetrators to justice.

This is just as President Muhammadu Buhari has ordered a probe into the incident even as Muslim clerics expressed divergent views on the justification for the killing.

Deborah Samuel, a 200-level Home Economics student of Shehu Shagari College of Education in Sokoto, was on Thursday said to have made a comment in her school’s WhatsApp platform which her Muslim colleagues considered blasphemous of Prophet Mohammed (SAW) and killed her before setting her corpse ablaze.

What led to the killing

One of the students of the college, who witnessed how Deborah was flogged, killed, and burnt described the scene as the most horrible she has ever witnessed. The student who identified herself simply as Rakia, gave an account of how the voice note of the 25-year-old student degenerated into an uncontrollable situation.

Speaking from her parents’ home in Gidan Kaya area of Sokoto State, the visibly shaken student said, “Deborah was my course mate. I just stepped into the class when the uproar on her voice note started.

It was her own course mates that started it. One of them said Deborah dared them by refusing to apologise when she was asked to. It all started with a debate on the upcoming examination on a general WhatsApp platform created for our course mates. One of the students asked her how she passed the last semester’s examination and in response, she said it was ‘Jesus o.’

“Immediately, about three other chats came in from two Muslims and one Christian, telling her to retract the statement. Two students from other departments who over heard some Muslim boys discussing the matter told Deborah’s close friends to prevail on her to retract the statement. But she replied via a voice note on the platform ‘Holy Ghost fire. Nothing will happen to me.

Is it by force that you guys will always be sending this religious stuff in this group? The group wasn’t created for that but rather as a notice on test, assignment, exam, etc, not this nonsense religious posts’

“We were made to understand that some young men were brought from outside before the outrage. I was in class when some of our course mates rushed in, saying ‘there is fire on the mountain o’.

“The Muslim students led the strangers to the class to look for her. In fear, those in the class tried to help her escape and took her to the security post from where they hoped to create a way for her to run outside Already, a cab was waiting outside to drive her straight to the police station. Unfortunately, the mob overpowered everyone who tried to save her. They even threatened to kill anyone who attempted to stand in their way.

Her last word as she pleaded for mercy

She was dragged out, flogged and stoned. The last word in her mouth was ‘what do you hope to achieve with this?’ By then some of our coursemates were making calls to some of our lecturers to save the situation. At a point, all the Christian students fled the school premises. It was when I got home that I heard she was set ablaze. Since the incident, I have been having a flash of her pleading expression. She pleaded for mercy and called out for help but it was far from her. What a cruel way to die,” she said.

Another Muslim student who did not want her name in print kicked against the mob action on the late Deborah. She said, “what happened did not warrant her death. We are calling on the government to make a policy that kicks against attack on anyone accused of blasphemy”.

Enough is enough— CAN

Meanwhile, the Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, has condemned as gruesome the killing of Deborah and called on the Federal Government to investigate the murder and “swiftly bring perpetrators to justice”.

A statement on Friday entitled ‘Deborah’s Killers Must Be Brought To Book’ in Abuja, by CAN’s General Secretary, Joseph Bade Daramola, described killing for any God as ungodly, satanic, foolish, reprehensible and totally unacceptable. He warned the government and the security agencies against treating perpetrators of such dastardly act with kid gloves.

These animals are even more lost and demented than I believed they were before.

It's so obvious from this that they set her up and they've been looking for an opportunity to kill her before then.

Contrary to the popular lie that muslims have been peddling since this incident, it was clearly pre-meditated which is why they already had assassins waiting to kill her within just a few minutes of her making the statement.

The real identity of the narrator of this piece should have been concealed or a fake name or they use anonymous. Even giving out the address of the lady is precarious at this juncture.

The truth must be told, there must have been some level of intimidation and highhandedness that would have made the mob surmount the authorities and even made other Christians fled.

Christians should kill moslems anytime any moslem kill a Christian.

This is the 9nly way this madness will stop.

If few Christians in the school had tried to defend her, that would have delay her attackers and she might have been saved by security agents eventually. Hinduism , Judaism, Shintoism, Tao, Atheism that have antidote to Islamic extremism. F

On the contrary, she should not even have apologized at all. She should have died with her belief intact. It's only cowards who die many times before their death.
In my place we have this saying that if you talk, you die. If you don't talk, you die.
If you know you're living among animals and no matter what you do, you'll likely be killed, why apologize? I'd rather have gone down swinging than beg for my life..

What I see among many Christians is that they are too meek for their own good. They don't know when to fight and when to be quiet. Even Jesus himself didn't enter the temple and beg them to remove their wares they were selling, he forcefully evicted them! Christians need to learn how to practice the Word they preach.

She was killed for this same illiteracy that you just portrayed here. You're all the same, animalistic behavior everywhere you go. The truth is, I've never seen a people as dumb as illiterate and as foolish as the Christians in Nigerian.

Why is it difficult for you to learn to mind your own language more especially on sensitive issues like religion even though you people have always been at the receiving end when unrest like this arise?

Muslims wherever they are, will never open their mouth and insult deities that you worship. Islam even recognizes Jesus as one of the four chosen and mighty entities but this has not always been the case with you.

It's sad to learn that your pastors have been deceiving you all this while for inculcating intense hate and detestation in you, towards Islam in the churches. The earlier you all wake up from this slumber the better for all of you. Remember Jesus taught you to "love your neighbor" and not the other way round.

Deborah was killed because Muslims are terrorists!!

Muslims insult Jesus Christ! The fact is that Qur'an is a blasphemous book against Christianity.

Christianity came first, it said Jesus Christ is God.

Then Islam came later from an illiterate named Mohammed. Qur'an calls Jesus a prophet.
That is an insult to Jesus Christ!!



Any idiot that keeps talking about respecting a belief when lives are at stake is actually a FOOL.


Any idiot that respects a belief above the lives of human being is a DEVIL.


If you want to condemn violence, then condemn it and don't add the foolish line of provocation.


If every human decides to kill because of provocation, none of us will be alive.
