Atiku Abubakar has deleted a post he made on his Facebook page about slain Deboral Samuel after coming under a barrage of threats from fanatics of northern origin who asked him to forget his presidential ambition.

Mr Atiku’s post around 10:20 p.m. Thursday was deleted less than an hour later. It had garnered over 1,200 reactions within 16 minutes, according to a screenshot taken by StarnewsNG.

Most of the comments were from fundamentalists who warned the politician to stay away from condemning the murder of the Christian student.
