While
condemning the religious crisis that broke out in the Abdu Gusau
Polytechnic in Talata Mafara in the state on Tuesday which resulted in
the death of eight people, the state governor, Abdulaziz Yari, yesterday
disclosed that all those killed during the attack were Muslims.
Narrating what led to the attack to state House corespondents after his
meeting with President Buhari yesterday August 24th, Governor said:
“From the intelligence I heard from the security agencies, there
was a fight between two students and I think one of them injured the
other and started shouting that the other person abused Prophet
Muhammed. Other students came and beat the other boy who is Yoruba and
from Kogi State. Some people are saying he was a Muslim and some say the
boy was a Christian. They beat the student until he collapsed and
thought he was dead. Then security personnel requested help from one
shop owner who then took the boy to the hospital in his car. When the
students heard that the boy was still alive and in the hospital, they
went to the hospital. But the boy was rescued by the army in the
hospital.
Then the students went back to the polytechnic and burnt down the shop
of the person who gave his car to rescue the boy. They went back to town
again and as you know the police in the division don’t have enough men
to contain the riot and before reinforcement came, the crowd threw tyre
in the man’s house and burnt the house down. That was how everybody in
the house was killed and everybody killed in the House were Muslims and
not like the rumours going around in the social media that Christians
are being killed in Zamfara.
Infact the mob wanted to go and burn churches and attack non- Muslims
but the security forces stopped them. It’s my home town and that’s where
I live.
