Pandemonium as One person stoned, killed in Abuja market over alleged blasphemy

One person has been killed at the Lugbe Timber Shed, along Airport Road in Abuja following an argument over alleged blasphemy.

VAM news gathered that an argument ensued between two vigilante operatives, leading to the locking up of one of them.

The argument went from bad to worse when friends of the vigilante operative locked up came pleading for his release.

After much argument, one of the vigilante operative insisted that even if “God comes down”, he will not release the person arrested go home.

The comment provoked the other group, that regrouped and brought down the vigilante office to rescue their man. They reportedly attacked, killed and set ablaze the vigilante personnel who insisted that he will not release the arrested person from detention.

For now, security operatives have been mobilised to the market, but shops are only scantily opened, with hopes that there would be no reprisal attack.

This newspaper could not reach any of the security personnel on ground to speak on the matter but some traders who pleaded anonymity say the persons involved are all of the Muslim faith. CONTINUE READING…
