A Nigerian man has threatened the life of popular broadcaster Kadaria Ahmed over her alleged conversion to Christianity from Islam before her return from London.
The man identified as Amb. Abdulrahman Yahaya made the threat on Twitter where he described the journalist as a walking corpse.
He further said the journalist is
“supposed to have been killed as an apostate. She’s a condemned soul”
It was clear that his tweet was prompted by the journalist’s condemnation of the killings in Zamfara state by suspected bandits over illegal mining.
Over the weekend, Kadaria had led a protest to call the attention of the government to the killings going on in the state.
The troll seems not to be comfortable with how Kadaria lambasted the Zamfara state governor Abdulaziz Yari for his alleged inaction over the killings going on in his state.
During the protest, Kadaria has described the governor as the ” most useless governor in Nigeria.”
He wrote,
“Kadaria, you converted to Christianity in London. I was appalled when I heard her describing herself as a passionate citizen of Zamfara.
“By Islamic tenets, Kadaria is a walking corps, she’s supposed to have been killed as an apostate. She’s a condemned soul”.
In her response to the threat, Kadaria posted a screenshot of the tweet and reported the man to the Nigeria Police Force for threatening her life.
“I have reported this account for threatening my life even as I refused to dignify his allegation with a response. No one should have the right to call for anyone’s death. If anything happens to me, this is the man to hold”.
Meanwhile, the troll had since deleted the threatening tweet which has evoked reactions from Nigerian social media users.
But other tweets on his timeline indicated that his gross against Kadaria was due to her involvement in last weekend’s protest.

These are the kind of Islamic extremist that is making Islam look bad when its not. What’s his concern on another person choice of religion. Nigerians this man need to be arrested for threat to life and violation and infringement into personal right. @PoliceNG @segalink

I would really love to understand what he meant by “by Islamic tenets”. I have so many Muslim friends that are well versed and we grew up together. What tenets do they know that’s different from the tenets this guy mentioned?

You are a sick soul. Are you passing a death sentence on her or what exactly is this rubbish all about? You should be locked up and the key thrown into the sea! ?

Does Ms. Ahmed intimidate you so much that you have to resort to threatening her life? Is she not entitled to worry about Zamfara people? Is she not a Zamfara indigene? You have just gotten yourself in trouble.

Our differences are not there for us to kill each other. Human differences are there so that we can learn more about each other, find a common way to coexist in love and to find a common solution to all problems of humanity.
