Days after supporting the death sentence for blasphemy, Azman Air distanced itself from the son of a former Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Abubakar.
Aliko Dangote, the son-in-law of Africa’s richest man, shared his opinion in response to Deborah Samuel’s murder.
Deborah, a Shehu Shagari College of Education 200-level student, was assaulted and set on fire by her Muslim classmates for allegedly disrespecting Islam’s Prophet Mohammed.

In his response, Abubakar stated that blasphemers face execution and urged people to respect the beliefs of others.
The pilot in a post on his Twitter account wrote, “In Islam, we respect the Injil, Taura, Zabur, we were never taught to disrespect any of the books, or any of the prophets From Adam to Muhammad SAW and the Quran.
“The punishment for blasphemy is death! in most religions including Christianity. Respect people’s religion. It’s simple!”
Azman Air in a statement released on Sunday disclosed that Abubakar had seized to be its staff since 21th of December 2019.
The statement reads, “UPDATE: It is important for the General Public to note that Capt Jamil Abubakar operated his last flight with @AzmanAir on 21st Dec. 2019 and resigned his appointment FORMALLY afterwards Kindly desist from contrary reports fueling a negative impression about this.”
