A controversial social media post made by a Christian resident who has been identified as Mani Abubakar has created tension in Katsina State.
The Facebook post, which is considered blasphemous of the Prophet of Islam, has caused outrage.
Some persons were set to have escalated the situation and set Abubakar’s house and car on fire.
The victim, however, reportedly managed to escape from his residence in Babaruga.
The Vice Chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria in Katsina, Muyiwa Segun, in an interview with a news platform, stated that the situation has been resolved thanks to the prompt actions taken by the state Commissioner of Police, Aliyu Musa.
“The victim’s life is reportedly at risk, but thanks to his escape. However, it is advised that he stays in hiding until the tension subsides.
“CAN plans to engage with local authorities, including a visit to the Emir of Katsina, to ensure Abubakar’s safety once he decides to emerge,” he added.
Abubakar had allegedly made controversial statements regarding the authorship of the Quran.
The alleged blasphemous statement has now been deleted from Facebook.
