Azman Air has distanced itself from the comments of Jamil Abubakar, son of a former Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Abubakar, days after he implied support for the death penalty for blasphemy.
The son-in-law of Africa’s richest man, Aliko Dangote posted his opinion while reacting to the alleged killing of Deborah Samuel who was accused of making comments considered unacceptable in Islam.
Deborah, a 200-level student of the Shehu Shagari College of Education, was beaten and set ablaze by her Muslim colleagues for allegedly insulting Islam’s Prophet Mohammed.
In his reaction, Dangote’s son-in-law said the punishment for blasphemy is death and called on people to respect the religion 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 tweet by : AzmanAir “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.“
