Viral video of woman been beaten with sticks not from Sokoto.

-

A video where a woman was dragged out from the gate of an apartment and flogged by some men has been circulated on social media.

Netizens, who shared the video on WhatsApp, Facebook and Twitter, claimed that the incident took place in Sokoto state on Saturday.

They also claimed that the video shows a Christian woman being attacked by protesting youth in the state over alleged blasphemy.

One of the Facebook users who shared the video said, “Muslims have started killing Christians, attacking their businesses in Sokoto after getting approval from their Imam yesterday.

The video was circulated during the protest by some residents of the state who called for the release of suspects arrested in connection with the murder of Deborah Samuel, a female student of Shehu Shagari College of Education, Sokoto state.

On Thursday, Deborah was attacked by a mob and set ablaze over “blasphemous comments”.

The incident sparked outrage and condemnation across the country. Subsequently, the police command in Sokoto announced the arrest of two suspects in connection with the killing.

Amid the protest, some social media users shared different posts, including videos and pictures, claiming they came from the unrest in the state.

TheCable had earlier reported that Matthew Kukah, Catholic bishop of Sokoto diocese, debunked some viral posts on social media that his residence in the state has been set on fire.

IS THE VIRAL VIDEO FROM SOKOTO? 

TheCable subjected key frames of the video of the woman being flogged to reverse image on multiple search engines.

Results showed that the footage has been on the internet since 2021.

TheCable found the video on a YouTube page, posted on September 26, 2021.

The narrator in the video said the woman was allegedly found with three children who were missing from a community in Kaduna.

Kamaldeen Abdullahi, a Facebook user, also shared the video on his timeline on August 28, 2021.

VERDICT

The viral video which was attributed to the recent protest in Sokoto is an old footage from 2021.

Celebration in an African home CANNOT happen without the presence of Jollof rice. I mean, come on, what are we (Africans) supposed to eat? Burgers? lol Jollof rice is a very common dish prepared in many African countries and each recipe differs depending on the nation. I specifically prepare the Nigerian party jollof rice which I still feel is one of the best recipes out there (not being biased, just stating facts LOL) Party jollof rice is commonly the most sort after type of rice, because of its very unique taste. Most people feel the unique taste comes from preparation using firewood, but that isn’t always necessarily the case. For me, it’s impossible to make rice with firewood, since my apartment complex doesn’t necessarily allow one to grill, let alone smoke anything. But I’m going to give you a recipe that comes close to the wonderful taste of party Jollof without any firewood. Since I was in the party mood yesterday, I decided to prepare myself this awesome dish to ce...

1.General Butt Naked, Joshua Blahyi In the Liberian rebel leader Roosevelt Johnson's army, Joshua Blahyi, known as General Butt Naked, served as a military commander. The first Liberian Civil War, which erupted in the early 1990s, saw him take responsibility for the deaths of almost 20,000 people, and he admitted as much during his trial. A huge number of inebriated young boys and youths were led by General Blahyi into conflicts in which they battled naked or dressed as ladies. They were unstoppable because of his perversion during the battle, a military-style idea. In the end, he became an evangelist for Christ.
