Jamil Abubakar has set the record straight about Deborah Samuel Tweet.
Glamtush reports that Captain Jamil Abubakar has set the record straight regarding the controversial Deborah Samuel tweet which he says was blown out of proportion.
This online platform understands that the Captain in a press statement reiterated that his tweet was taken out of proportion and the publication by Punch Newspaper did not help matters.
He further tweeted, “Religion is a temper flaring zone. I know emotions are running wild. A lot of people read my tweets without understanding me, which is normal. “The headline” didn’t help either. Have never advocate for one’s life to be taken or people taking matters into their own hands.”
Read his official statement below.
It read,” Our attention is drawn to a publication by Punch Newspaper 24 hours ago, suggesting that Captain Jamil Abubakar is in support of the gruesome killing of Deborah Samuel, a student of Shehu Shagari college of Education Sokoto, and the Editors note to it thereafter.
“Customarily, we would have resorted to silence to let the gathering tension to dissipate gradually, but these are perilous times, and wicked people love to take advantage of moments like this.
Given the sensitive nature of the situation, we are therefore compelled to make this statement.
“To begin with, it is necessary to mention for the avoidance of doubts that Captain Jamil Abubakar is a devout Muslim who is proud of his faith, but his tweets in no way implied brazen support for the murder of Deborah Samuel or anyone else.
“He sent out a series of tweets outlining the Islamic and Christian views of blasphemy, as well as stating that while Islam has rules and regulations in place to oversee people’s behavior and motives, only sharia courts or government are in best position to handle matters like blasphemy.
