The Nigeria Police Force, Sokoto State command, has admitted that the suspects arrested in the burning to death of a Christian female student, Deborah Samuel, for blasphemy were charged to court for “inciting and disturbance.”
According to SaharaReporters, the state Police Public Relations Officer, Rufai Ahmad, made a statement in an interview on the case of Deborah Samuel.
The police spokesperson said, “On Deborah’s issue, police have done their own part by arraigning people in court. Those people that were arrested, like you said they were charged on inciting disturbance which is a bailable offence. When we charged them to court, we have done our own part. Court decided to vindicate them or release them, that is none of our business.
“That question should be directed to court. We have done our own part.”
