“This decision is in protest of the gruesome murder of an innocent 200 level student, Miss Deborah Samuel of Shehu Shagari College of Education, Sokoto on Thursday, 12th May 2022 by some uncultured and evil minded religious extremists.

Deborah, a 200 level student of Shehu Shagari College of Education, Sokoto, was on Thursday, May 12, killed for alleged blasphemy. Her murderers videod the gruesome murder and posted on Social Media.
