None of my 7 children will go to school again – Mother of Deborah Samuel, Mrs. Alheri, speaks
The mother of Deborah Samuel, the Shehu Shagari College of Education, Sokoto student, maimed by her colleagues over allegations of making blasphemous comments about Prophet Mohammed has vowed never to send her remaining seven children to school.
In an interview with Vanguard, the distraught mum said she and her husband who are practicing Christians, have resolved not to seek any redress from court over the loss of their daughter but leave everything to God.
“What has happened to me is my cross and I will surely carry it but none of my seven surviving children will go to school again.”
On what she wanted from the government, she simply said;
“I don’t want anything from government. In fact, the family is not expecting anything from government. Almighty God will take control.”
Mrs. Alheri, who has just been discharged from the hospital over the shock, however, said she was recuperating and assured that she would soon get out of the shock. Late Deborah was the eldest of the eight children of her parents.
