Some residents of Sokoto believed to be Muslims on Saturday evening destroyed a Catholic church believed to be shepherded by Rev Father Matthew Kukah and a building of the Evangelical Church Winning All, ECWA ostensibly due to the arrests of those suspected to be behind the death of Deborah Samuel for allegedly ‘insulting’ prophet Mohammed.

Meanwhile, the Sokoto State Governor, Aminu Tambuwal, has imposed a 24-hour curfew to curtail the riot.

The late Deborah condemned the use of the group Whatsapp platform meant for academic purpose by the students of Shehu Shagari College of Education in place of religious posts.

The school was consequently closed down and a 24-hpur curfew imposed by the state Governor, Aminu Tambawal and the barbaric act condemned by the world at large including the British Government.
