Deborah Yakubu: Buhari, Osinbajo, FG Mum

The Federal Government of Nigeria is still silent on the gruesome murder of Deborah Yakubu in Sokoto as no statement has been issued by President Buhari.

GreenWhiteGreen GWG reports that a 200-level student of Shehu Shagari College of Education was burnt alive by her colleagues on Thursday after being accused of blasphemy against the Holy Prophet Muhammad (SAW).

The Police confirmed they got a report of the riot at about 9 am. Two suspects have so far been arrested.

However, more than 24 hours after the killing of Deborah, President Buhari, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo and the Federal Government are yet to make any comment.

This is despite press releases quoting Buhari and Osinbajo responding to other situations by their spokespersons.

As of 1:30 pm on Friday, the Federal Government had issued four statements, and none talked about the unjust killing of Deborah.

While keeping mum on Deborah, President Buhari has been quoted in other communications bidding farewell to outgoing ministers; his meeting with Albino Mathom Ayuel, envoy of South Sudan President Salva Kiir Mayardit.

Others include a recap of Buhari’s visit to Abidjan in Cote D’Ivoire last week and Osinbajo’s consultations with the All Progressives Congress (APC) across states.

The silence of President Buhari and the FG as well as the county’s leaders on the killing of Deborah has stirred numerous reactions especially after former Vice President Atiku Abubakar deleted a tweet he shared on the matter.
