Aggressive Muslim Youths Set Man Ablaze Over Alleged Blasphemy in Abuja (Video)

Some aggressive Muslim youths, on Saturday, set a member of a vigilance group on fire over blasphemous statement.

According to eyewitnesses, “members of the vigilance group protecting the Timber shed market in Lugbe District of Abuja, had wanted to arrest some residents loitering around the market in the early hours of Saturday.”

“The residents were said to have begged the vigilance group to free them in the name of Allah but one of the vigilantes kicked and made comments said to be blasphemous,” an eyewitness narrated.

The latest mob action will be the second barbaric incident recorded within a spate of weeks as the Bauchi incident was prevented by the law enforcement officers who came to the rescue of the woman alleged to have uttered blasphemous statement.
