August 23, 2016 – Muslim Youths Kill 8 After Fellow Muslim Rescued Christian Student Accused Of Blasphemy Against Islam In Zamfara

All hell broke loose in Talata Mafara community in Zamfara yesterday after a Christian student of Abdu Gusau Polytechnic in Talata Mafara was accused of making blasphemous statement against Islam.

The boy was said to have been beaten to a pulp before a Muslim man simply identified as Tajudeen rescued him and took him to the hospital.

Enraged by Tajudeen’s act of compassion, a group of Muslim youths moved to his house and set it on fire, killing all its occupants.

A section of the polytechnic was also destroyed by the protesters.

Corpses of eight people were found in the house shortly after the fire was put out.
