Some Muslim youth in Borno State have threatened to kill a young woman, identified as Naomi Goni, alleging that she insulted Prophet Muhammad (SAW) on Facebook.
It was gathered that one Abdulmajid Tanko Izge who championed the threat, claimed to be the President of a group, Borno Youth Support.
He vowed that the young woman deserved to be killed as penalty for what she did.
The threat by some religious extremists in Borno state came at a moment the country is yet to recover from the anxiety of the gruesome killing of Deborah Samuel, a 200-level Shehu Shagari College of Education student in Sokoto State, last Thursday.
The Informant247 had reported that two suspects have been arrested and arraigned before the court.
Writing partly in Hausa, Tanko Izge said, “A message to Government of Borno State. Akwai wata yarinya me suna Naomi Goni wanda tayi batanci ga manzo Allah wanda hakan a musulunci kisa ne hukunci Ko da soho ne koda musulmi ne ya kafurta. Dan haka muna kira ga gwamnatin Borno tayi gaggawan daukan mataki inhar ba haka ba kuma mu musulmai baza muyi bacci ba kuma zamu dauka da kanmu (There is a girl named Naomi Goni who insulted the Messenger of Allah (saw) and in Islam it is a death sentence even if it is a Muslim. We therefore call on the Borno State Government to take immediate action or else we Muslims will not sleep and we will take action).”
He posted the message on his Facebook as and added that, “Naomi you must face the consequences. We will continue raising our voice until action is taken. #Findnaomigoni.”
“A Gaskiya Tura yakai Bango A gari Irin Borno wata Ta Zage ma aiki Amma gwamnati Bawani feed Back. Zuciyana yana Tapasa I will surely come for protest.! (In fact, the government has not yet commented on the situation. My heart is pounding I will surely come for protest).”
