Afrobeat musician Seun Kuti has weighed in on the incident that led to the death of a Shehu Shagari College of Education student, Deborah Yakubu, in Sokoto state.
It was reported that Deborah was burnt to death on Thursday, May 12, 2022, by some Muslims over her alleged blasphemy against Prophet Mohammed. Prior to the burning, her attackers allegedly stoned and beat her with woods.
Reacting to the news, Seun Kuti opined that Islam is only a religion of peaceful if everyone is a Muslim, however, not peaceful to its unbelievers.
“But when Boko Haram and Bandits are killing your mothers and sisters, you aren’t there to fight them and protect your family but Deborah is how you show Allah your strength.”
“This kind of ritual killing isn’t called blood sacrifice, why? You all claim to hate African religion because of human sacrifice but how many people have been sacrificed for Islam this year alone in this country? Una never ready!! #getthesax,” Seun Kuti said.
