There was tension in Katanga town, Headquarters of Warji local government area of Bauchi State on Friday over another lady allegedly insulting Prophet Muhammad (SAW).

NEWSFLASH NIGERIA learnt the lady identified as Mrs Roda Jatau narrowly escaped jungle justice barely one week after a student of Shehu Shagari College of Education, Sokoto, Deborah Samuel, was killed.

Mrs Roda Jatau was said to have shared a video in a WhatsApp group in which a convert ‘insulted’ the Prophet of Islam.
