An irate mob in Sokoto on Sunday killed a butcher, Usman Buda, after he was accused of making blasphemous comments against Prophet Muhammad.
The incident occurred at the Sokoto metropolis abbatoir around 10:00 am.
A witness, who only gave his name as Aliyu, told PREMIUM TIMES over the phone that Mr Buda made blasphemous comment and repeated it three times when confronted by some of the people present.
“My brother was at the abattoir when it occurred. When Usman (Mr Buda) insulted the Prophet, some people said he had mental issues, but most of those around him, who were his business friends, said he was never known to have any mental issues.
“Some young men challenged Usman (Mr Buda) to withdraw his statement, but he insisted he would not. He even repeated it thrice. That was when they started beating him,” Mr Aliyu said.
