A butcher identified as Usman Buda has been killed in Sokoto, Northwest Nigeria for allegedly blaspheming Prophet Muhammad.

According to Daily Trust, the butcher allegedly made the comment during an argument with another trader at the Sokoto main Abattoir around 8 am on Sunday.

“Our leaders made a fruitless attempt to save him but they could not contain the crowd. They initially rescued him and hid him before they were overpowered.

“He was beaten to death by his fellow butchers. His corpse was later taken away by the police,” an eyewitness told Daily Trust.

Another said some of Buda’s closest business partners who attempted to rescue him sustained injuries and “are currently receiving treatment at the hospital”.

The deceased reportedly hailed from Tambuwal local government area but resided at Gidan Igwe in Sokoto North local government area.

He sold cow entrails at the Sokoto Fish and Vegetables Market.

One of his neighbours identified as Malam Yusuf described his death as painful.

“Usman is my immediate neighbour. He is very religious; in fact, he belonged to Izala sect. We prayed and attended Tafsir together at primary board quarters. There is no way he could make such a statement against the Holy Prophet.

“There must be a reason behind his murder because he is very popular in his business of selling cow entrails and was envied by many of his colleagues,” he said.

A trader who sells perishable goods at Kasuwan Dankure meat and vegetable market whose stand was next to that of Buda also expressed shock over the tragic incident.

“I have not been myself since I heard about what happened. I know Usman liked arguments on religious issues but I didn’t hear him even for once using derogatory remarks against the Prophet’s companions,” he said

However, the specific statement made by Buda which was considered to be blasphemous was not stated in the report.

Meanwhile, the state police command has confirmed the mob killing.

The command said it received a distress call at about 9:20 am that one Usman Buda of Gwandu local government area, a “butcher at Sokoto Abattoir allegedly blasphemed the Holy Prophet Muhammad (SAW) and as a result, he was mobbed and attacked”.

“Upon receiving the information, the Commissioner of Police, Area Commander Metro and DPO Kwanni led a team of policemen and all other operational commanders to the scene.

“On arrival, the mob escaped the scene and left the victim unconscious where he was rescued and taken to Usmanu Danfodiyo Teaching Hospital Sokoto (UDUTH) for treatment and was later confirmed dead,” a statement signed by the spokesperson for the police command, ASP Ahmad Rufa’I, said.

“Meanwhile, Investigation is on to arrest the perpetrators and bring them to book,” it added

In May 2022, SaharaReporters reported how a female student of Shehu Shagari College of Education in Sokoto, Deborah Samuel, was burnt to death by her colleagues for allegedly insulting Prophet Muhammad.

She was beaten and killed by Muslim students who dragged her out of her hostel.

Meanwhile, her gruesome murder was connected to a voice note the deceased sent to her class WhatsApp group.

According to a Twitter link as seen by SaharaReporters, the female student was said to have sent a voice note, protesting against the incessant sending of ‘unnecessary messages’ to the group by her mates.

Her death attracted the outrage of many Nigerians including the Sultan of Sokoto State, who condemned the unwarranted attack and called on the police to investigate and arrest the perpetrators.

However, over a year after her gruesome murder, the police have yet to arrest any of her killers.

Why are muslims always behaving like animals.
Nigeria need to wipe all this religions away, if not this nonsense will escalate to big war in this country just that christians are quiet and only good at making noise.

That's babaric.

Another case of Deborah

Backward people

I will rather stay in my region nd my territory to live long....

So a certain religion permits drilling of a being because he/she violated the religion beliefs?

Stupidity at its peak.

Sokoto again? They should be allowed to have their own country,

We are fightIng so many battles in this country

Likeandsharenow:

Abeg, stay oo. Run away from anything Islam. The extremists can be mad and violent!
How you go kill person for blasphemy, abeg who is the idiot that made blasphemy a crime.

Omo, I despise the kind of useless extremists this religion breeds. So we can't criticise or debate about Islam without getting the fear of being killed.
Make Dem no come kill pesin for small talk about their religion, no be to dey avoid Muslims like this? 🤷‍♂️

Worse of all, when they are in minority they start crying about islamophobia. Tueeh!
Hypocrites.

Lol there's Islam in the SW buh they're not fanatics like the Northerner so rest...

Religion fanatics = mentally deranged..

If you can kill for your god, you should also be bold enough to die for your god.

it's like the criminals in their midst are using Islamic blasphemy, to settle personal quarrels among themselves, to the extent that whoever that's is accused of blasphemy by the enemy could be mobbed, without any opportunity to speak out and defend himself.
it's time the Islamic leaders do something to stop these needless killings, in the name of blasphemy, hence the various levels of government lack the political will to stop it.

The problem with issues like this is that the victims are innocent of the crime they are been accused of.

Jealousy and hatred.

It's ironical that men are the ones fighting for their God's, instead the other way round.

Na Muslim vs Muslim. Dog eat dog. Case close

There leaders can't change anything.


Go to Facebook and see how they are rejoicing over this.

A religion so peaceful they need to kill for their God and thy will do anything necessary to prove it !

Sokoto
Zamfara
Yobe
Jigawa
Gombe
Kebbi
Niger
Borno.
Apart from INEC and Yakubu's Manipulation, See the kind of States that Tinubu won. 🤦

SS, SE, NC, Lagos, FCT did NOT vote for him.😕

Tinubu is not the President of Sane, literate, patriotic and sensible Nigerians.

He is an Almajiri and SW Agberos president. 😏😒

Can any good news come from Sokoto?

Muslims killed a Muslim for blasphemy against the prophet, case close

His envious brothers killed him since they could not deal with his prosperity as a fellow butcher.
This is why I think the North should be on their own.

This is sharia environment for you .
Every body na judge .

Islamabad.

Me, live in a muslim dominated area in Nigeria? Never!!

Just a little disagreement and the best way to eliminate you is to accuse of you of blasphemy.

Islam is not compatible with northern Nigeria.

Another case of Deborah

Yes but the only different is that, the accused this time is a muslim.

This is totally unacceptable. Clearly, there is a problem with Islamic teachings in the north. A very serious problem that needs urgent attention. Both the content and context of what they are teaching and indoctrinating into the minds of these guys need to change. There should be nothing like blasphemy against any fucking prophet or individual. Extrajudicial killings under any guise should be punished by death.

Any prophet that needs poverty stricken people to kill for him because of some few insult is a fraud. A prophet that cannot fight for himself is a fraud. A prophet that is quick to tell people to kill for him but can’t help them out of their poverty and suffering is a fraud. Killing anyone because of blasphemy is simply barbaric and unacceptable.
