Tears as Deborah Samuel is laid to rest in her hometown
The remains of Deborah Samuel, who was burnt to death in Sokoto last Thursday over alleged blasphemy, have been laid to rest.
She was buried in her hometown, Tunga Magajiya, in Rijau local government area of Niger State.
Tears flowed freely as she was being buried as well wishers and relations lamented how she was killed.
She was buried around 6:30pm at the Christian cemetery in Tunga Magaiya.
Her family remained adamant on proceeding with the exercise despite protest by youths of Tunga Magaiya who felt Sokoto Government should have been responsible for her burial.
