One user mourning the incident wrote that the killing reflects the worsening violence targeting Christians in parts of the country. “There is an ongoing Christian genocide in Nigeria, & my people are running out of families,” the user said.

 

In another post, the mourner urged others not to stay silent in the face of repeated attacks: “My advice to you is to keep posting those receipts. Don’t allow anyone to gaslight you 💔.”

 

The Kaduna State Police Command has yet to issue an official statement on the killing.
