Many houses have been burnt and a pastor reportedly injured as irate Muslim youths went in search of a lady who has been accused of blasphemy in Bauchi State.
The lady was said to have shared a video on social media in which a convert spoke about Prophet Mohammed.
The lady in question is a government worker originally from Gombe but married in Warji Local Government Area in Bauchi.
The youths went in search of the woman after Juma’at prayers on Friday, May 20.
When they didn’t find her, they went on a rampage, destroying properties belonging to Christians in the Katangan area of Warji Local Government Area of Bauchi State.
Several Christians, including a Pastor of ECWA church, were said to have been injured by the Muslim youths.
This comes one week after Deborah Samuel, a student of Shehu Shagari College of Education, Sokoto, was lynched and set ablaze by her colleagues over alleged blasphemy.
#WARJI LGA of Bauchi state today… Alleged BLASPHEMY by a nurse. Who was said to be whisked out of the city. This resulted to burning of houses and shops. Heard there's currently a religious rioting between the Christians and Muslims there.
