They killed Deborah in cold blood, burnt her body and had the guts to make a video about it.
They are very confident they will go scot free. @AWTambuwal the Murderers hiding under Islam are in Sokoto. They must be fished out.

Every person involved in the murder of #Deborah must be arrested and prosecuted. We cannot continue to have a situation where people dish out a death sentence for perceived insults to Islam. Northern Muslims must get that religion is personal and no else is bound by your beliefs.
