Catholic Priest Calls Out Buhari, Tambuwal, Police Ahead Of Deborah Samuel’s First Death Anniversary

A Catholic priest, Rev. Fr Kelvin Ugwu, has called out President Muhammadu Buhari, Sokoto State Governor, Aminu Tambuwal; and the Inspector of Police, Alkali Baba over the failure to prosecute Deborah Samuel’s killers

The cleric expressed his disappointment in the poor handling of justice for the late Deborah Samuel, who was killed in 2022 over alleged blasphemy.

Newsflash Nigeria reports that Deborah Samuel was brutally killed last year by Muslim extremists for alleged blasphemy.

Two suspects, Bilyaminu Aliyu and Aminu Hukunci, were arrested by the police and subsequently remanded.

In August 2022, spokesperson of the Sokoto State Police Command Sanusi Abubakar said those arrested and arraigned were not the prime suspects, but among those who organized the violent riot.

Abubakar said that “efforts are being intensified to arrest the prime suspects.”

On Thursday, however, the priest called out President Muhammadu Buhari, Sokoto State Governor, Aminu Tambuwal; and the police over failure to prosecute Samuel’s killers.

“Tomorrow the 12th of May will make it exactly one year since the young Christian lady Ms. Deborah was brutally killed by her fellow students and burnt to ashes in Shehu Shagari College of Education Sokoto, over an alleged and unsubstantiated blasphemy or insult to prophet Muhammad (PBUH),” Ugwu wrote on Facebook.

“I am asking the Governor of Sokoto, Hon Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, please sir, where are the killers of Deborah? Have you found them? Where did you keep them? What did you do to them?

“I am asking President Muhammadu Buhari, where are the killers? Are they invisible? Have they been arrested?

 “And to the Nigeria Police Force, what has happened to the swiftness you normally employ in arresting people who make posts on social media you consider inciting and divisive? What did you to do the killers of Ms. Deborah? Where are the killers?”
