Blasphemy: They are in custody - CSP Olumuyiwa Adejobi dismiss claims that Deborah's killers have been released

The spokesperson of the Nigeria Police Force, CSP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, has refutes claims that persons arrested for the killing of Deborah Samuel in Sokoto state in May 2022 have been released.

Recall that a 200-level Home Economics student of the Shehu Shagari College of Education, Sokoto was stoned and burnt to death on May 12, 2022 by angry students who are said to be her classmates over allegation of blasphemy.

Responding to questions on Twitter, Adejobi noted that the suspects are in custody and held in a correctional center.

He also said that the photos of the suspects will be released by the Sokoto state PRO to dismiss reports of their release.

He tweeted;

"They are in custody, Correctional Centre, under prosecution. Instead of him spreading falsehood that no one was arrested, he even said "not even a fly", why cant he make some contacts in sokoto, or NCoS to know how far about the suspects or the Min of Justice about the prosecution. His falsehood is too weighty and dangerous to our national security and unity.

I have said it, if his comment or tweet creates a crisis, he will be questioned, to unravel his motive, or the motives of his sponsors. His comment was careless and unguided."
