The crowd burns a woman to death for alleged blasphemy against Prophet Muhammad

Police said the woman was burned to the death of a mafia in Nigeria Nigeria after being charged with a blasphemous prophet Muhammad.

Police condemned the murder of a woman – in local media intended as a supplier named Amaye – as “Justing Justice”, saying that an investigation into arrest and persecution from the perpetrators is being conducted.

Local media cite eyewitnesses who say a man jokingly offered a marriage with a supplier, and some people were considered blasphemy people in the area.

“Unfortunately, this led to an attack on the mafia, and (she) was caught up before reinforcing security teams could come to the scene,” said the State Police press by Obiadun.

He appealed to the members of the public to keep peace and not pass the law after murder on Saturday in Kasuwa-Garba.

Such killings in Northern Nigeria are not uncommon, where blasphemy is regarded as a criminal offense in accordance with Islamic (Sharia) by a law that operates together with secular law in 12 mainly Muslim states.

At least two more people have been lynching for such accusations over the last three years, and critics have noted that to prevent killings directed by both Muslims and Christians.

In 2022, Samuel’s student’s student beaten and burned alive In Sokota, after charge of blasphemy comments.

Last year, the USMan Buda’s butcher was abandoned to death in the same condition.

Although the Nigeria Constitution supports freedom of speech, the country remains deeply divided into questions of faith and justice.

Nigeria Supreme Court has in the past that blasphemy should be proven in court.
