Deborah Samuel’s parents break silence, make shocking revelations

 Deborah Samuel's parents have described her death as sad and painful, saying they have left her killers to God. Deborah Samuel was a student at Shagari College of Education in Sokoto, Sokoto State, when she died. 

Deborah's remains were laid to rest Saturday evening in her village of Tungan Magajiya in Niger State's Rijau Local Government Area. 

On Thursday, her classmates stoned her to death and set her ablaze for reportedly making a derogatory statement about Prophet Mohammed on a WhatsApp group. 

The heartbroken parents have opted to leave everything in God's hands after their daughter died.

"We can't say or do anything, but to take it easy as an act of God," the father, Mr. Emmanuel Garba, a security personnel with the Niger State Water Works Cooperation at Tungan-Magajiya, told DAILY POST. We've chosen to leave everything to God and take it as it comes." 

When asked who brought his deceased daughter's body back from Sokoto State, the father stated that he personally went and carried her remains back to be buried.

“I personally went and brought back the body of my daughter to enable me to bury my own child. This is because keeping her in the morgue will not return her back.

“When I got there, I met government officials and made them understand the need to allow me take her back home and they agreed with me. When we got to the morgue, those in charge asked me to sign the necessary documents and I did. They released the corpse to me.”

On who paid for the transportation, Garba, “I personally, paid the sum of N120,000 to the driver out of many that refused to convey her back home and it is because of the condition of the remains. Most drivers we approached all refused except one.”
