Deborah Yakubu, a 200-level student at Shehu Shagari College of Education in Sokoto, Nigeria, was accused of blasphemy after a screenshot of a WhatsApp message allegedly sent by her circulated online. The message was reportedly deemed insulting to Prophet Mohammed.
A mob of students and locals stormed the college, dragged Deborah out, and brutally attacked her. She was beaten, stoned, and eventually killed. The incident sparked widespread outrage and condemnation.
Deborah's family and friends have been vocal about the injustice, demanding justice and protection for Nigerians' rights to free speech and safety.
The incident highlights concerns about extremism, mob violence, and the misuse of blasphemy laws in Nigeria.
Let's focus on promoting understanding and empathy. Deborah's story shows us the devastating consequences of unchecked anger and violence. Let's strive for a society where differences are respected, and disagreements are resolved peacefully. Seek justice, not vengeance.
