    All efforts by the government of Sokoto State to prevent the bereaved parents of Miss Deborah Samuel from returning the remains of their daughter to mother earth today fell on deaf ears.

    The parents, as learnt are displeased with the way and manner Government is handling the terrible situation, hence the pandemonium currently existing in Sokoto consequent on the gruesome killing of Miss Deborah Samuel and the subsequent arrest of her suspected killers.

    The remains of late Deborah Samuel, a student of Shehu Shagari College of Education, Sokoto State, have been laid to rest in her hometown, Tungan Magajiya in Rijau local government area of Niger state.

     

    This is even as the Sokoto state government allegedly insisted that the body be kept in the mortuary until it concludes its arrangement on the matter.

     

     

     

    Deborah was stoned to death and burnt on Thursday by her fellow students for allegedly making a blasphemous statement on a WhatsApp group.

     

    The deceased, it was gathered, had been living with family members in Sokoto since she was in primary school before her death.

     

    It was learnt that while the body of Deborah was being transported home for burial, an official of the Sokoto dtate government allegedly called that the body should be returned back as it belongs to the government.

    The government had asked the family to deposit the deceased in the mortuary until burial arrangements are concluded.

    Family and friends of late Deborah Samuel Yakubu, as they laid to rest the remains of the 200level students of Home Economics, Shehu Shagari College of Education, Sokoto State, who was burnt alive by Muslim fanatics over an alleged blasphemous statement in a WhatsApp group chat.

    However, the parents disagreed with the government’s position, while insisting that their daughter’s body would be buried today.

     

     

     

    DAILY POST learnt that since the news of the incident reached the parents of Deborah, the mother has been unconscious while the father has been in a state of grief and pain.

     

    Reacting, the Pastor of the family in charge of 1st ECWA in Tunga Magajiya, Pastor Emmanuel Maaji explained that the family is insisting that their daughter be buried today as against the state government’s position to wait until it completes its own arrangement.

    According to him, the parents are not happy with the way and manner the government is handling the issue.

     

    The cleric said the body of the deceased was transported back home in a chartered bus and not a government vehicle.

     

    Maaji further stated that the government only called and said that it is not right for the family to take the body like that without informing them. They said that they shouldn’t bury the body as the body is for the government and not for the family. They asked them to put the body in the mortuary.

    When asked the name of the government official that asked that the body be returned back to Sokoto State, the pastor stated that he cannot recollect the name, but that the person claimed to be a representative of the state government.

     

    Confirming the development, the CAN Coordinator of the Rijau Local Government Area, Reverend Danjuma Doma explained that the family and church are preparing to bury the remains of Late Deborah, adding, “we will update you on the situation as it goes, but we are all here to support the family at this moment of grief.”

     

    Earlier, there was a disagreement over the burial site prepared for her at the town’s cemetery, when some group of youths appeared and claimed that she cannot be laid to rest in it, saying that it was dug for another deceased person in the area.

     

    Also, confirming the development, Pastor Maaji said as a result of the action of the youth, the family and church decided to suspend the burial and deposit the deceased in the morgue to avoid further argument.

     

     

     

    ” But, when we pravailed on the youth, they saw reason with us and allowed us to bury her in the grave under contention. This is because, the body is burnt and not good to the eyes,” the cleric added.
