Nigerian Man Calls for the Burning of Churches in Kano, Celebrates the Sabon Gari Market Fire.

Yesterday on Facebook, users fished out a Nigerian man named Nura Lawal who celebrated the recent inferno at the Sabon Gari market in Kano, which gutted over 3,000 shops and led to deaths of many. To Lawal, it called for celebration, an opportunity to run Christians and ‘Biafrans’ out of the northern state, and he also asked that the many churches in Sabon Gari, Kano, be burnt.

See his post below:


As expected, this has drawn reactions from Nigerians on social media, many of whom have asked that he gets arrested as his post is inciting.

 See some of the reactions.







Since his comments went viral, Nura Lawal has not return to defend of address his disturbing opinions, but this is not the first time hate posts have been shared on social media. Last May Twitter user @Mcvaaey‘s account was shutdown following reports of his inciting statements during the presidential elections. He bluntly called for an ethnic cleansing and total wipe out of the Igbo. Though his account got shutdown, like Nura Lawal, he was never arrested.
