A woman was stabbed to death in a mob action Thursday evening in Kano for allegedly blaspheming Prophet Mohammed.

The incident took place at the Kofar Wambai market as traders were about to close for the day.

The woman, whose identity could not be immediately ascertained, was said to be with her husband when the incident occurred.

Police have confirmed the incident and some of the persons involved in the killing have been arrested while a manhunt has been lunched for those who escaped.

The woman, a seller of plastics, did not belong to any of the market associations, making it difficult for the traders to identify her.

She was said to have been involved in an argument over Prophet Mohammed with another person, also unidentified.

A witness, who spoke with TheCable, said some youths, armed with dangerous weapons, attacked her and slit her throat.

    Isn’t this violence that many Western arms manufacturers , politicians want- Nigerians killing each other?

    Divide and conquer. Iraqi vs Iraqi, Cuban vs.Cuban, Egyptian vs. Egyptian, Libyan vs.Libyan, Chinese vs Chinese, Arab vs Arab.

    Look the world over and see America supporting brothers killing each other, then when all the blood has been spilled-Ametica kills YOU!!

    Did not America support Saddam?
    Did not America support Batista?
    Did not America support Somoza?

    The list goes on .

    These evil people from the West are patient- they want your oil and other resources but they DO NOT want You.

    The evil that besets your land ; corruption, crime, class. injustice , have a cause – Western intervention in your land.

      Your comment..They slit the throat with (most likely) a dagger. I won’t blame the west for this,I won’t blame Islam for this. I won’t blame the devil for this. I will blame the soulless perpetrators of this evil act. Religious fanatics and fanaticism is responsible for terrorism, fight that from the grassroots and this evil might be curbed a little. My own belief is that the perpetrators of this act deserve jungle justice.
