Why I Deleted Tweet Condemning Murder Of Deborah Samuel – Atiku | Daily Report Nigeria

Atiku Abubakar, the Peoples Democratic Party presidential candidate, has explained why his tweet condemning the killing of the Christian girl, Deborah Samuel was deleted.

According to Atiku, apart from the deleting of the tweet, he also condemned the murder of the student in his subsequent statement.

Recall that Deborah Yakubu, a 200-level Home Economics student of Shehu Shagari College of Education in Sokoto State, was earlier in 2022 stoned to death and set ablaze by Islamic extremists for alleged blasphemy.

Few hours after the incident, Atiku had tweeted a total condemnation of the murder, but the tweet was deleted after a few minutes following threats the Vice President got from some of his followers who vowed to wait for him on the election day.

However, speaking at The People’s Townhall on Channels Television in Abuja on Sunday, Atiku condemned the killing and provided a further explanation on why the tweet was pulled down.

Atiku said he did not approve the tweet condemning the lynching of the Christian student which was why he ordered for it to be removed.

He said,

“I asked the tweet to be deleted because I normally approve every tweet. So, since I didn’t approve it, I said, ‘delete it’. If you read my subsequent statements on that murder, I condemned it.

“There is nowhere it is said or it is an injunction in the Islamic faith that you can go and take somebody’s life, nowhere, it has to be through due process,” he said.
