Former Presidential aide, Bashir Ahmad, has denied celebrating the k!lling of student, Deborah Samuel, who was m0bbed to de@th for making a blasphemous comment.

According to him, his tweet supporting the de@th penalty for anyone making Blasphemous comments was made before Deborah’s incident.

Deborah, a student of the Shehu Shagari College of Education in Sokoto was gruesomely murd£red on May 13, 2022, for allegedly making a blasphemous comment about Prophet Mohammed in her class Whatsapp group. Unidentified assailants hunted down and k!lled Samuel after she sent a WhatsApp voice note to her classmates that some of them deemed to be !nsulting to the Prophet Muhammed.

In videos that went viral, men with sticks were seen be@ting the lifeless, bl00died body of a woman, reported to be Samuel. The video also showed young men celebrating, with one man holding up a match box and saying that he used it to set her on f!re and k!ll her.

The incident sparked an outrage in Nigeria with many calling for the pr0secution of the perpetrators of the incident.

Many Nigerians have repeatedly accused Bashir of being a supporter of this sought of action after a tweet of his declaring his support for de@th penalty for Blasphemy surfaced online,

In an exchange with some of his followers this morning, Bashir argued that his tweet supporting de@th for blasphemy was made on July 1, 2015, years before Deborah's incident. He dismissed claims that he made the tweet to celebrate Deborah's k!lling which happened on May 13, 2022.
