Tensions are running high in Katsina State due to a controversial social media post made by a Christian resident who has been identified as Mani Abubakar.
The Facebook post, which is considered blasphemous of the Prophet of Islam, has caused outrage.
The situation was said to have escalated when some persons set Abubakar’s house and car on fire.
Abubakar reportedly managed to escape from his residence in Babaruga.
In an interview with a news platform, the Vice Chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria in Katsina, Muyiwa Segun, stated that the situation has been resolved thanks to the prompt actions taken by the state Commissioner of Police, Aliyu Musa.
Segun called for religious tolerance.
