Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Rhoda Jatau, a resident of Bauchi State who has been in prison for 18 months for condemning the killing of Samuel Deborah in Sokoto State, has regained freedom.<\/p>\n

Sources indicate that her release, which occurred late Friday, was facilitated by the Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, the Nigeria Inter-Religious Council, NIREC, and the Christian Solidarity Worldwide Nigeria, CSWN.<\/p>\n

Jatau, a mother of five, was remanded since May 2022 on blasphemy charges for sharing a video condemning the brutal lynching of Deborah, a 200-level student at Shehu Shagari College of Education in Sokoto.<\/p>\n

Although her bail conditions were not disclosed, it was gathered that the Inter-Religious Council played a vital role in securing Jatau\u2019s release.<\/p>\n

The prolonged detention of Jatau sparked an outcry from the Christian community in Nigeria, prompting swift action by CAN, NIREC, and CSWN.<\/p>\n
