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.
