Nigerian Catholic priest, Rev. Kelvin Ugwu has cried out against the injustice and preference for people of a particular region and religion going on in the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari. The vocal clergy man called out the police force, President Buhari and the Sokoto State Governor, Aminu Tambuwal over failure to prosecute the killers of Deborah Samuel.
The 200-level Home Economics student of the Shehu Shagari College of Education, Sokoto, was stoned and burnt to death in May 12, 2022, by irate youths including some people believed to be her classmates over allegations of 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, DSP Sanusi Abubakar, said those arrested and arraigned were not the prime suspects, but among those who organized the violent riot.
The PPRO said that “efforts are being intensified to arrest the prime suspects.” In a Facebook post on the eve of the anniversary of Deborah's gruesome murder, Rev. Ugwu, demanded to know the progress of the case.
“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),” he wrote.
"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?”
