Deborah: Another Crisis Looms In Bauchi As Muslim Youths Set Houses, Vehicles Ablaze Over Blasphemy

Muslim Youths in Bauchi State have gone heywire after a lady who identified as Roda Jatau was said to have been involved in blaspheming Prophet Muhammad.

The lady reportedly posted a video on a WhatsApp group which they claimed it insulted the prophet. This consequently led to a serious search for the lady by the Muslim Youths.

According to a source, Mrs Jatau works with the Bauchi State Primary Health Care and is originally from Gombe, but married in Warji local government area. 

Reports from the area indicated that Muslim youths mounted a search for the lady immediately after Jummaat prayers, but could not find her because she had been whisked away to safety. 

This reportedly led to burning of houses, vehicles belonging to Christians in the area.

According to report on Vanguard, it was gathered that a number of Christians including a Pastor of ECWA church were said to have been injured. 

However, a Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) leader in the state said he has informed the Commissioner of Police and the Senior Special Assistant to Governor Bala Mohammed of the development.
