A pastor has allegedly been
injured and many houses burnt as irate Muslim youths went in search of a lady
who has been accused of blasphemy in Bauchi State.
The lady was said to have shared a video on social media in which a convert spoke about the Prophet of
Islam.
The lady in question is a government
worker originally from Gombe but married in Warji local government area in
Bauchi.
Muslim youths went in search
of the woman after Juma’at prayers on Friday, May 20. When they didn’t find
her, they went on a rampage, destroying properties belonging to Christians in
the Katangan area of Warji Local Government Area of Bauchi State.
A number of Christians,
including a Pastor of ECWA church, were said to have been injured by the Muslim
youths.
This comes one week after
Deborah Samuel, a student of Shehu Shagari College of Education, Sokoto, was
lynched and set ablaze by her colleagues over alleged blasphemy.
