Concerns raised over the safety of the<\/div>\n
Catholic Bishop of Sokoto Diocese, Mathew Kukah, has been cleared as he\u00a0 himself has declared that he is safe and sound.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n
The protest which rocked parts of Sokoto city over the detention of two persons linked to the gruesome killing of Deborah Samuel brought tension from various quarters.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n
Bishop Kukah in a statement had commended Governor Aminu Tambuwal’s swift intervention by imposing 24 hrs curfew.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
During the protest, he said, groups of youths led by some adults in the background, attacked the Holy Family Catholic Cathedral, destroying Church glass windows, those of the Bishop Lawton Secretariat and vandalized a community bus parked within the premises.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cThey were promptly dispersed by a team of Mobile Policemen before they could do further damage,\u201d the statement added.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cThe hoodlums also attacked the Bakhita Centre located along Aliyu Jodi road and burnt down a bus within the premises.\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Kukah commended the security forces for promptly rising to the occasion to prevent further damage ‘at our facilities,’ adding that no life was lost.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Condemning the act, he had in his appeal,\u00a0 urged the Christians to remain law abiding and pray for the return of normalcy.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Meanwhile, all Masses in Sokoto metropolis he said has been suspended\u00a0 until the curfew is lifted.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
According to channel correspondent in Sokoto city, calm seems to be returning to the city after the earlier violence.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Governor Tambuwal said he declared the 24-hour curfew within the metropolis to prevent further spread of civil unrest trailing the death of Deborah Samuel.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
President Muhammadu Buhari has earlier condemned the gruesome murder of Deborah Samuel, a student of the Shehu Shagari College of Education on the allegations on Thursday of a blasphemy on the Holy Prophet (SAW).<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u00a0An impartial, extensive probe into all that happened before and during the incident he demanded should be carried out.<\/div>\n
