Female Student Beaten To Death, Corpse Set Ablaze For Allegedly Insulting Prophet Muhammad In Sokoto

A yet-to-be identified student of the Shehu Shagari College of Education in‪ Sokoto State has been burnt to death by her colleagues for allegedly insulting Prophet Muhammad (SAW).

According to report gathered the incident happened on Thursday morning.

She was burnt to death by Muslim students who dragged her out of her hostel.

It’s always good to respect each other’s opinion, religion and belief irrespective of their religion or gender. But taking law into our hands isn’t the best solution.  

An unfortunate event happened today in Shehu Shagari College of Education Sokoto where a female student insulted Prophet Muhammad Salallahu Alaihi Wasallam. We learnt that some students took law into their hands, beat her to death and set her corpse ablaze.

Religious intolerance is one of the main reasons for communal crisis in Nigeria. If she had respected the code and kept her peace, she would have been on her way to the hostel or next lecture by now. Those that killed her are not innocent either. We should give the authority a chance to do the right thing, the right way.

Similarly in March 2021, some angry youths backed by leaders in Sade community in the Darazo Local Government Area of Bauchi State burnt a man identified as Talle Mai Ruwa, to death for allegedly insulting Prophet Muhammad.

Mai Ruwa was dragged away from his house on Tuesday in the presence of his mother and burnt to death in the middle of the community.
