May your killers never know peace – Fr Kelvin on Deborah Samuel’s one-year remembrance
A Nigerian Catholic priest serving in Gambia, Fr Kelvin Ugwu, on Friday, prayed that the killers of Deborah Emmanuel, a female student of the Shehu Shagari College of Education, Sokoto State, would never know peace.
Deborah was burnt alive on May 12, 2022, by her schoolmates over alleged blasphemy against Prophet Mohammed.
In a post on his Facebook page on Friday to mark the one-year anniversary of Deborah’s death, the Catholic priest questioned why the slain 200-level student was yet to get justice after one year.
He wrote, “Today made it exactly one year since you were brutally killed by your schoolmates. Your body was burnt to ashes by them. Your killers made a video of the whole thing shouting ʾAllāhu ʾakbar (God is the greatest). I am not sure which God they are talking about
