Deborah and the ‘Blasphemy’ That Led to Her Being Stoned and Set Ablaze by Her Schoolmates in Sokoto Today

In a WhatsApp chat, Deborah was heard lamenting in Hausa language to a religious broadcast message sent by another student to her class’ WhatsApp group.

In a loose translation, she said, “This group chat was not created for you to be sending nonsense. It is for past questions, updates about tests or other school matters. Not for nonsense or some rubbish prophet.”

It was gathered the usage of the phrase “nonsense prophet” might have angered the angry attackers and propelled the fatal assault against her.

Nigerians are calling for Justice for Deborah.
