Mr. Oyelami Mutiu Kolade, the secretary of Arafat Islamic Centre, Ilesha, Osun State has reacted to the killing of a student of Shehu Shagari College of Education, Sokoto, Deborah Samuel who was burnt by irate youths in Sokoto.
Deborah, a level-two female student, was accused of making a social media post that blasphemed the Holy Prophet Muhammad (SAW), a crime for which a mob killed her.
The horrendous event led to a great outcry, especially on social media outlets, with many Nigerians condemning the act and asking that law enforcement agents ensure that the perpetrators do not escape from the long arm of the law.
Joining many in their call for justice, Mr. Oyelami Mutiu Kolade in an interview with Dpath To Jannah Media Hub condemned the killing of Deborah Samuel.
He cautioned the Muslim youths against taking laws into their hands, adding that such is against what Islam stand for.
