Blasphemy: Islam doesn’t encourage jungle justice – Sokoto governor

3 Min Read

The Governor of Sokoto, Ahmed Aliyu, has warned against jungle justice, following the mob killing of a butcher over alleged blasphemy in the state on Sunday.

Aliyu said that Islam does not encourage taking laws into one’s hands, noting that his administration would decisively deal with anyone who engages in any activity that degrades or insults Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).

The governor spoke through a statement signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Abubakar Bawa on Monday.

In the incident that occurred at the Sokoto abattoir, a mob stoned the butcher, identified as Usman Buda, to death over alleged blasphemy against Prophet Muhammad.

It was learnt that some of the victim’s friends that tried to save him from being killed were also brutalised by the mob.

“Sokoto State Governor, Dr Ahmed Aliyu, has called on the people of the state to remain calm and law-abiding at all times.

“The governor cautioned the people against any act capable of degrading the personality of Prophet Muhammad SAW, especially in a state like Sokoto, which is a predominantly Muslim-dominated community.

“Dr Aliyu said that Sokoto people have so much respect and regard for Prophet Muhammad SAW, hence the need for all the residents to respect, protect his dignity and personality.

“I want to call on the people of Sokoto State to avoid taking laws into their own hands and instead report any alleged crime or blasphemy to the appropriate quarters for necessary action.

“Our religion does not encourage taking laws into one’s hands, so let us try to be good followers of our religion,” the statement read in part.

Reiterating his government’s stance against blasphemy, the Sokoto governor said “that the present administration will not take the issue of blasphemy lightly, and will deal decisively with anyone found guilty of any act aimed at degrading the personality of Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, in line with the provision of Islamic laws”.

“The governor assured the people of the state of his administration’s commitment to guarantee the safety of lives and property of all law-abiding citizens.

“The governor also warned would-be troublemakers to have a change of mind, adding that Sokoto is a wrong place for them,” the statement further read.
