Parents of Deborah Samuel, the 200-level Home Economics student of Shehu Shagari College of Education that was murdered in broad day light in Sokoto, have opened up about the murder of their daughter which has sparked outrage, and controversy beyond the state.
In a chat with Punch on Sunday, May 15, the late student’s father, Emmanuel Garba, a security guard with the Niger State Water and Sanitation, disclosed that he paid N120,000 to convey the remains of his daughter from Sokoto to Niger.

The bereaved middle-aged man lamented the fact that he used all his resources to fund the education of Deborah, the eldest among seven daughters, only for her life to be cut short like this.
