(Worthy News) – Last month a Christian was killed in Nigeria after his chat on Facebook ended in an accusation of blasphemy against Islam’s controversial prophet.
According to Morning Star News, Methodus Chimaije Emmanuel was killed by a Muslim mob in the town of Pandogari after he allegedly posted a blasphemous statement on Facebook about Mohammad.
A church, a home and a shop were also set afire after rioters blocked access to the Lagos-Kaduna Road — a major artery that connects opposite ends of the country.
