Fear has gripped residents of Sokoto metropolis as protesters in their hundreds trooped into the streets today to express their dissatisfaction over the detention of killers of Deborah Samuel.
Major streets such as Ahmadu Bello Way, Kano Road, where banks are located and Emir Yahaya Road, in the early hours of the day, were deserted with business places and shops closed.
We could recall that on the 12th of May 2022, a student name Deborah Yakubu, a 200-level Home Economics student of Shehu Shagari College of Education, was burnt over alleged blasphemy.
Attempt by the protesters to attack the Palace of the Sultan of Sokoto, His Eminence Alhaji Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar III, was resisted by security men on the ground.
