The Nigeria Police Force, Sokoto
State command, has admitted that
the suspects arrested in the burning
to death of a Christian female
student, Deborah Samuel, for
blasphemy were charged to court for
“inciting and disturbance.”
The command told SaharaReporters
on Wednesday that it was not the
fault of the police if the court
exonerated the suspects saying the
police had “done its own part.”
The state Police Public Relations
Officer, Rufai Ahmad, stated these in
an interview on the case of Deborah
Samuel and Usman Buda, a butcher
who was recently killed at the Sokoto
Modern Abattoir in Mahuta Market.
On May 12, 2023, Emmanuel, a
female student of Shehu Shagari
College of Education, Sokoto, was
attacked by a mob and set ablaze
over comments purportedly
considered to be an insult to Prophet
Mohammed.
Few days after, a Magistrate Court
sitting in Sokoto State remanded the
two suspects, Bilyaminu Aliyu and
Aminu Hukunci arrested in
connection with her murder.
SaharaReporters had reported that
during the court proceedings, the
suspects pleaded not guilty to the
murder of the deceased.
They were subsequently discharged
and acquitted by the court.

Speaking on the incident, the police
spokesperson said, “On Deborah’s
issue, police have done their own
part by arraigning people in court.
Those people that were arrested, like
you said they were charged on
inciting disturbance which is a
bailable offence. When we charged
them to court, we have done our
own part. Court decided to vindicate
them or release them, that is none of
our business.
“That question should be directed to
court. We have done our own part.”
SaharaReporters had also on May 18,
2023, reported that court documents
revealed how the suspected killers of
Deborah Emmanuel, a College of
Education student, were freed after
the Nigerian police prosecutors failed
to show up in court.
In a five-page court judgement,
delivered on January 30, 2023 in the
Chief Magistrate Court I Gutwa,
Sokoto seen by SaharaReporters,
Chief Magistrate Shuaibu Ahmad,
Esq set the suspects free due to the
absence of the police prosecution
during series of hearings.
The charges against them, criminal
conspiracy and inciting public
disturbance, should have carried a
maximum of two-year jail term upon
conviction.
When SaharaReporters visited the
Abattoir market barely a week after a
butcher, Usman Buda, who was
stoned to death by extremist
Muslims over an alleged
blasphemous comment, the traders
and the shop owners were unwilling
to speak on the issues surrounding
the death of Buda.
SaharaReporters observed that the
traders' hesitation to speak to a
journalist or an outsider about the
occurrence may be related to the
sensitivity of the situation and the
conservative nature of Sokoto.
Speaking on the Buda case, the police
spokesperson said, “We met that
man helpless, unconscious. The
investigation is still on. It is
something we have to be careful of.
It is something that needs to be done
vividly in order to avoid any wrong
or inconvenience along the
investigation.”

Now choose:

Having known and seen the truma and pain caused by the Islamic Religion in Saudi, Afghanistan, Iran, iraq, turkey and northern Nigeria through hacking & burning their fellow human being(s) to death as response to defend their Prophet Mohammed & religion, would you still continue to be a member or join them where your following are not guaranteed;

a) Peace is not guaranteed
b) You must kill your fellow humans to defend your prophet & religion
c) Eternal life is not guaranteed- even your Prophet said he doesn't know where he is going afterlife.

Think about this and give your life to Jesus Christ today where your peace and eternal life is guaranteed!

Police charged them with disturbance instead of murder to provide grounds for the judge to dismiss the case
