Northern Governors Forum (NGF) has called on Christians and Nigerians to remain calm following the killing of a female student, Ms Deborah Samuel, 200 Level student of Shehu Shahari College of Education, Sokoto, for alleged blasphemy.

Dr Makut Macham, Spokesman to Plateau state governor, Barrister Simon Bako Lalong, Chairman Northern Governors Forum in a statement, stated that the governors were concerned about the development, saying that it is clearly an extra-judicial measure of addressing perceived infraction.

According to the statement, “The Northern governors appeal for calm following reports of the hijack of peaceful protest which later turned violent and led to the imposition of curfew in Sokoto metropolis”.

The statement explained that governors stressed that any attempt made to adopt self-help in addressing grievances whether religious or otherwise could lead to further chaos in the country.

According to the statement, the Forum appealed that security agencies be allowed to thoroughly investigate the matter, while commiserating with the family of the victim.

The Forum commended Governor Aminu Tambuwal of Sokoto State for the proactive measures he adopted to restore normalcy in the state.

The statement further assured Governor Tambuwal of the governors’ solidarity and prayers in dealing with the matter assuring that they would ensure the adoption of necessary measures to forestall recurrence in any part of the region and the Nation at large.

The governors also emphasized the need for people from Northern Nigeria and Nigerians to show love, tolerance and respect for one another irrespective of faith, ethnicity or other affiliations for overall peaceful co-existence in unity.
