The curious tweets by Capt Jamil Abubakar, the son in-law of Africa’s richest man, Aliko Dangote, has continued to generate deep resentment in the social media.
While top Islamic figures have faulted the murder of Deborah Yakubu by a group of Islamic fanatics in Sokoto, Jamil Abubakar, justified her killing on Twitter.
He did not seem to see anything wrong with the gristly murder of the 2000 level students of Shehu Shagari College of Education.
The son of a former Inspector General of Police, holds the conviction that the punishment for blasphemy is death.
“In Islam we respect the Injil, Taura, Zabur, we were never taught to disrespect any of the book, or any of the prophets From Adam to Muhammad SAW & the Quran.
“The punishment for Blasphemy is DEATH! In most religions including Christianity. Respect Peoples religion it’s simple,”
Abubakar’s tweets generated concern on the social media as Nigerians wondered how a pilot flying hundred of passengers everyday could hold such a radical view.
Many Twitter users expressed deep worry that Azman Air Services could have the service’s of a pilot with fundamentalist ideals its its team.
Many aver that a pilot with such a dangerous view is a disaster on postponement.
Expectedly, the airline issued a statement denying that the pilot with the radical view justifying the murder of an armless Christian girl was its employee.
“Captain Jamil Abubakar is no longer a pilot with Azman Air; his last flight with us was 22nd December, 2019. We refuse to take responsibility for a comment or view of a former staff. The general public should kindly take note.” The airlines said
The Network investigation revealed that Azman claim that he stopped working for the airline contradicts a biography of Abubakar written by one
