A pastor has allegedly been injured and many houses burnt by irate youths who went on the rampage over alleged blasphemy in the Katangan area of Warji Local Government Area of Bauchi State.Our correspondent learnt that trouble started when a message was allegedly circulated on social media that a Christian girl in the town allegedly engaged in blasphemy of Islam.

“What I learnt was that a Christian girl allegedly posted and commented on something on social media which has to do with the incident in Sokoto and that was how it started. “A shop which belongs to an ECWA Church in the area was also burnt down. And I learnt that the District Head of the area and the leaders are on top of the situation. The police have also been informed about it.”

learn to respect others religion, when you cross that line then you may not live to tell the story. stay on your lane and there will be peace

This is our problem

I blame CAN… Christians need leadership like Gunmi and El-rufai so whatever u guys want we give u

They are hiding under the guise of blasphemy to carry out their evil acts they have in the pipeline already......open your eyes.

Religion of PEACE has turned everywhere to PIECES. The should change their Slogan from PEACE BE UNTO You to VAWULENCE BE UNTO YOU. I come in PEACE 

Kumuyi should go there. .not coming to Aba ..fake prophet

Another killer group springing up. We need military government in this country.

Not until they use one muslim as a scapegoat this nonsense will not stop !!!

Watin una expect before? Them stone person to death Koro Koro, nothing happen, them go kill more na. President Buhari day lost e voice for this kind of issue. But if na east na, python go for don go dance there. Christians, arm urselves oh, buhari get mission.

whats the definition of blasphemy and what or who advice u dat killing justifies blasphemy.... do you guys think if everybody abandon you... you will enjoy your stay.... u will end up killing your selves... so kindly wise up and live in peace and shun violence.... haba mana

This so-called northern youth, why can't they use the same energy to fight against terrorism in their region.

ApostateProphet Acts17David

They can only do that nonsense in the north let them come to south-east and try any rubbish they will see hell 🔥 that day

I say it before if government doesn't get those who killed Deborah this will continue. because if have small misunderstanding with someone he can easily tags you that you have blasphemy and his group will attack you without question

What is more funny is that Muslim in the south dont give a damm about the blasphemy rubbish. They are interested in succeeding in life. It is only the north that takes religion as if is the only thing that matters in life.

We were amalgamated by a foreigner, Since then it has alwys being either crisis caused by Religion or Ethnic diversity. Is nolonger d usual killings/burning of Igbo properties bcos of Biafra, Is now killings/Burning 4Blasphemy. My people do u still support Lugards experiment?

What behaviours amounts to blasphemy in the Islam religion ? While this tension is trending , it is important that measures are taken to educate the people .

Akuko

Can this nonsense happen in lagos or Rivers? They know where their strength is, they know where they encourage Such violence. This is what the French called religion Malady

In this 21st century the only thing that they are still using to create tension and uproar is blasphemy yet they all blame boko haram, tell me what is the difference between them from top to bottom and boko haram? God may not be fast in judgement but He will judge every human.

many more innocences will have to suffer, many more will have to die since the perpetrators don’t get punished.

Why all these again? We are supposed to live together peacefully, that's the teaching of Islam. May Allah guide us right

Deep down we all want to go our separate ways, but the north won't agree because they can't function without the mineral resources we get from the south.

With Muhammad Buhari in power, it is a long road to peace and security .

What do u expect, when almajiris have grown up, no body gives them money again and because of that, they destroy people's sweat out of enviness

Nigeria has become a cannibals den . Nigerians kill people who don’t believe in their God , burn old women in the name of witchcraft, beat up homosexual and crosser dresser . Nigerians hate those who doesn’t believe in abrahmic religion

Please who is the person that defines or decides what is blasphemy This is becoming one too many!!

Election time is here and they av started again. The new cover now is blasphemy. God is watching sha.....

ehigymetor LoL.. blood thirsty northern Muslims.what happens when they feel and decide the whole country has committed blasphemy? I wonder

What kin religion is this sef?

if this country is going to be divided through referendum , it could as well be along religious lines since the muslims up north are so intolerant

At this point, they are using blasphemy as cover up to carry out violence

madness

THE SAME PEOPLE THAT IS SPONSORING B/ARAM AND THE DEATH OF DEBORAH ARE THE ONE'S THAT SPONSORED THE DEATH OF OBADIAH MAILAFIA.. THEY DON'T WANT A CHRISTAIN LEADER AND THAT IS NOT POSSIBLE BECOS IS BIGGER THAN THIER SPIRITUAL UNDERSTANDING

Animals on rampage again. This dem god wey no get tolerance sef, hin be god at all?

Why in the world do we have to grapple with maintaining the peace in our nation because of impunity? If anyone is being accused of any wrong doing, shouldn't citizens allow our law enforcement agencies handle such issues?

Nah why we Christains need green card from God... 'Shall we overtake' they feel they are the only ones who can raise a sword.

Is it difficult to stop BLASPHEMISM since they know its instigate Muslims. Why can't we tolerate ourselves? The approach for blasphemous language in Islam is not jungle justice but is handled by central authority! No one has the imptus to kill anyone.

Theophi16234434

Nigeria should b divided....mk biafra go...lets. C where this crisis r coming from

Seems some Christians are violent and aggressive, why would they not stop this, they continue to ptrovoke, yet they call us terrorist. We can be what they may not know

To the ignoramus illiterate poverty striken Northern muslims let that sink in

Election go come fah

All Northerners e no go better for unna Thunder fire unna

This people will do anything to cause national chaos against the 2023 elections! God (the real God) pass una! He's in control, una go only try but una no go succeed! Tufiakwa!!

Abeg where in bauchi Am a bauchi base n nothing is going

These people are just going on rampage causing mayhem everywhere while hiding under 'Alleged' blasphemy.

Blasphemy now the day, Lets be careful, if leave in a class house don't throw stone/s

These useless people has started again !!!

More Christians will be killed for blasphemy Northern elders..

Una go soon get waitin una dey look for really it's becoming too much and it's now looking so clear that you'll just after Christians we ain't gonna fold up our hands looking at you'll no more be careful cus when we start our own una go see pepper 🌶️ ohh

Why shld anyone in his right senses insult a prophet of God? Reactions here shows that Christians are in support of the reckless insult on the prophet. Tolerance start from respecting others, and immediately you disrespects others, it may bring up problems. let there be peace!

It seems the north do not want this election to hold. What's happening!

Oh Israel to your tenths!

EI_MXI

The religion of peace

As long as I detest the action of DEBORAH'S killer as totally wrong, yet it's equally horrible to derive pleasure from insulting prophets of God. Insulting your parents or elders is condemnable and punishable in some culture. Why don't we desist from such poor character dispositn

Defend yourselves.

Why is Islam and it's northern Nigeria worshipers so much engrossed in killings - from Boko Haram to this new one blasphemy

Blasphemy is not in Nigeria constitution so what give you the right to punish anyone guilty of blasphemy

Other regions have to force this morons in the north to become secular or exit the nation, if they refuse, then the nation should be left for them.

Let Christians too start defending their territory. How is that a blasphemy again from what I read in the news. This guys are just full of evil.... Though I think It would have been more than that, if not for some Xian youth that also repelled them, from what I read in the story

Which God are these cows fighting for? It must be a lesser god with no power of its own

What is happening?..... silent war?

The more things change, the more they remain the same...Lawd hammercy on the Northern christians

Religious crisis here and there do people think with their head atall🙄🤔

These people need their own country.

Pastor fight back ooooo, our God fights battles as such we can’t be lazy

Rubbish religion nonsense people

This is what you get when you keep forcing people that are not compatible into relationship. We go surely get sense

Small blasphemy laidis ..people don die house don dey burn 😁 Omo o

Na everybody Don dey blasphemy for their eyes..

Do they know the meaning of 'Blasphemy' at all?

My dream is coming true gradually

🤦🏾‍♂️this concept of Nigeria is increasingly shaping itself as a mirage. How can we claim to be one entity when we're so clearly different? Unless we RestructureNigeria, secession would be inevitable!

The Northern political leaders especially the current leaders are responsible for these barbaric acts. These misguided religion extremists need to be punished severely to deter others. You can't continue to commit murder in the name of blasphemy that is not tried in court.

The north can kill people that insult long dead Mohammed but can't fight the terrorist that are currently killing thousands of their people, what is wrong with black people

Terrorism is the foundation of Islam.

The animals are at it again. Religion of destruction and terrorism.

If killers if Deborah are not taught a lesson that Nigeria is governed by Constitution, not by Sharia law, more people may be harmed under the guise of blasphemy. Report case to the authorities, even if there's blasphemy, don't take laws into your hands

Can't they use this energy to fight Boko Haram and the bandits killing them everyday ? Haba

There's need to check this blasphemy as some people might just use it to cover a hate.

Make una leave religion rest na

These people upon empty belle or bad diet will still expend energy going on a rampage of taking lives and destroying properties on the innocent.

This blasphemy of a thing is getting out of hand. Yesterday it was killing of one Deborah yakubu in Sokoto. Today it is another blasphemy in Bauchi, leading to burning of a pastor's house. Northerners must not forget that their people also live in the south. We are getting there

What kind of deranged animals am I living with in this country?

Ha annn

Not again! 🤦🏻

Fvck love, just respect each other fps.

If concrete action has been taken against the people who killed innocent girl in Sokoto, this one wouldn't have happened.

This northerners have been too over pampered by this Nation

You see what Nigeria is gradually turning into?

Their new strategy now is to kill, cause mayhem and tigh it on blasphemy neck.

some clowns will be blaming lord lugard who is dead and long gone. ment people everywhere

This is so bad? If the muslims don't want us, let them speak out and let everyone go their separate ways.

Allah will never forgive these northern elites that made these Almajiri be on the street with no education and sense of direction, wallowing in ignorance and lost in cocoon of hate and dispair.

Make una break the country ooo as we nor cucuma get president again. Shame

Arh Again ..and still Christian brothers will say is not peaceful u attack us n u re saying we re not peaceful cuz to any sensible Muslim attackin or abusing prophet Muhammad Peace b upon him is same as breaking his leg or removing his eye or much more

Igbo traders in Bauchi wake up,they have started eyeing your businesses,regroup and defend yourselves and your businesses from this lazy for nothing people.

Na still blasphemy matter we wan drag this weekend again? Ṣé wọn ṣ'epe fún wa ní Nigeria nii?

Na blasphemy de reign now.

Their god is a demon 😈 that want to suck blood because a reasonable person that is in right senses will not says killing for one prophet is more profitable than winning a soul into the Kingdom of God in the name of blasphemy why not leave the issue for God to fight for himself.

Government and security agencies should Rise Up to their responsibilities and treat this fuck up called blasphemy

Disgusting Babylonian behavior

If you are a Christian living in the Northern part of Nigeria, know that you have the constitutional right to self defense. Form groups and be strategic in defending yourselves against these Islamic woolheads. If we go by blasphemy rules, all of Islam is a blasphemy.

Lord Lugard 🤣🤣🤣

So the strategy now is blasphemy!!! Northern Nigeria keep it up, we are watching

AfunwaSmart

Religion is really crazy both Christianity and Islam, it has the power to twist the mind completely from reality

Did God ask you guys to fight for him or who will be the winner at the end of the fighting for God

Haha things area becoming obvious

Again?

One of the major problem in Nigeria is the Press, instead of playing Angel, you play the Devil. Why not advise our dear Christian Brothers and Sisters to stay away from our Prophet, ever since dis tragedy begins have you heard or seen Muslims insulting Jesus in term of relation.

Hmm. The Religion that is only perceived in the minds of its followers as peaceful.

You fight for your god but pray to your god to fight your enemies. People are just so gullible in this part of the world. Religion has ruined many. 🤣🤣🤣

If u are leaving in northern Nigeria , my brother start thinking home .

The Igbos in North should know that the Almajiri Mobs & theirs Alhajis who are acting as their commanders, are mobilizing them to burn, loot & destroy properties belonging to Igbos in every part of the North. It's time to return to ur roots & fight for your own state. Biafra

It just never ends🤦🏾‍♂️

3CH3_ Again Nawa ooo

I have said it times without number that we Christians needs to defending ourselves and not asking God to send his Angels to come down from heaven to fight for us. Our mumu don too much abeg

I wish the north had used this same energy to fight against terrorism in the past dacade.

They will use Blasphemy tactics to enroll war of Jihadist

Some people just won't let the sleeping dog lie

Na blasphemy one dey rain now

Only God can save us in this country from the hands of these so-called fanatics that have declined themselves to the religious polarization brought to us to bring discord to our communities. If religion were practiced by the pioneers like this, we wouldn't have had its taste...

They have the support of their religious leaders, the government of their various states, and the presidency. Why won't they be emboldened?

Nigeria Sha...

Again?

They really need to teach these northerners about accommodating other religions and religious tolerance

🤦 what's the justification for this.

Imagine southern Christians burning down mosque in the name of blaspheming of the Lord Jesus Christ. Islam is a cult abeg

Christian should learn how to fight back or stop complaining

Again?

Action needed to stop this act fast or else I hope hatred wont be turned to blasphemy in a shortest period

Not again..

Again?...🤦

…by 2022, they (Boko Haram and their guys in govt) want to start a Civil War”…Obadiah Mailafia

Are we back to the days of arsonists? Those days in the North, Fridays are days of fear and apprehension. NigeriaGov should please deal with situations like this before it snow ball.

Another one again in Northern Nigeria?..

Northern animals at it again
