Chidi Mokeme: Atiku Abubakar’s deleted tweet on Deborah Samuel’s death pains me
The actor Chidi Mokeme has expressed concern over Atiku Abubakar's decision to remove the tweet he had sent denouncing the killing of Deborah Samuel in Zamfara by a mob.

Mokeme sobbed as he described how Atiku erased the tweet and how he was deeply hurt by the action.

On May 12, 2022, several students at Shehu Shagari College of Education, in Sokoto State, murdered and burned to death Deborah Samuel, a second-year student, for supposed blasphemy.

As they denounced the Sokoto students' resort to jungle justice and the hashtag #JusticeForDeborah spent hours trending on Twitter, Nigerians expressed their utter anger over the horrific crime on social media.

Following the gruesome killing, a tweet was made via the former vice president’s Twitter handle condemning the act which triggered unpleasant reactions from users from the northern part of the country before it was deleted.

But, Atiku explaining why he ordered the tweet to be taken down revealed it was deleted because he did not approve that it should be posted in the first instance.

Reacting to the PDP principal’s action, Mokeme wept that the politician he once loved so much couldn’t condemn the killing of poor Deborah.

Speaking Pidgin English with tear-filled eyes, the movie star said: “Ah. E get something wey pain me well well. You see that day wey dem kill that girl, that day wey dem kill Deborah, that Deborah girl.

“I come go for Twitter. E pain me that day because that day wey dem kill Deborah wey Atiku tweet hin support finish, con go back go delete the tweet.

“That day wey Atiku go back go delete that tweet….So hin no fit condemn the killing of that poor girl?

“E pain, e pain me that day. E pain me well well that day. And that day, I go tweet am. I say, ‘boss, sir… sir I been like you o! But sir, this one pain me. Why you delete this tweet?’”

He captioned the video: “This Thing Pain Me Well Well… I Just Say Make I Tell You Because The Thing Dey Make Me Cry Anytime Wey I Remember… Anyways God Dey. Las, Las….”
