You can't reason with some people:
Ahmad Usman, 30, was in a local vigilante group and police say about 200 people were mobilised against him.
Eyewitnesses said the row was over an alleged blasphemous remark, but the police have not confirmed this.
Last month, a Christian student was killed by Muslim students who accused her of blasphemy in the city of Sokoto.
We don't have to trade with China nor do we have to tolerate its North Korean vassal state:
Australia has accused the pilot of a Chinese fighter jet of carrying out a dangerous manoeuvre near one of its aircraft over the South China Sea.
It says the Chinese aircraft released flares and cut in front of the Australian surveillance plane.
The Chinese jet then released "chaff" - an anti-radar device which includes small pieces of aluminium which entered the Australian plane's engine.
Beijing claims most of the region as its own territory.

Communist China is a “common component” of many of the challenges facing the international community, Taiwan’s minister of foreign affairs said during a panel discussion in Ottawa coinciding with the 33rd anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre.
Minister Wu Jaushieh made the opening remarks at the webinar, titled The Challenge of China and hosted by the University of Ottawa’s Human Rights Research and Education Centre (HRREC) on June 2 and 3.
Wu spoke of the growing despotism of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), noting that “human rights is anathema to authoritarianism” while free and open democracy is what nurtures humanitarianism.
“The authoritarian regime that wrote the bloody history of the Tiananmen massacre 33 years ago is no better today than it was back then,” ...

North Korea fired eight short-range ballistic missiles towards the sea off its east coast on Sunday, likely its largest single test, a day after South Korea and the United States ended joint military drills.
South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff said that at least eight missiles were fired from the Sunan area of the North Korean capital Pyongyang and they flew between 110 km-600 km (70-370 miles) at altitudes between 25 km to 90 km.
In response to North Korea's missiles launch, Japan's Self Defence Force issued a statement that Japan and the United States had conducted a joint military exercise.
And South Korea convened a National Security Council (NSC) meeting where President Yoon Suk-yeol ordered "expanded deterrence of South Korea and the United States and continued reinforcement of united defence posture".
The B.C. Prosecution Service says 15 people are being charged with criminal contempt of court following protests last fall over a natural gas pipeline being built near Houston in northern B.C.
The prosecution service says it will take four more weeks to decide if there’s enough evidence to charge an additional 10 people, while two others who were arrested won’t be prosecuted.
Court documents say all 27 people were arrested over six days between September and November along a forest service road leading to a work site for the Coastal GasLink pipeline.
Those charged are alleged to have breached a B.C. Supreme Court injunction granted to Coastal GasLink in 2019 that prohibited blockades or interference with the company’s construction activities.
Justin shrugged his shoulders when churches were burned to the ground and cried over a hijab removal that later turned out to be a hoax:
When the resolution to put Canada on the watch list was introduced, it mentioned “the history of religious freedom that Canada, the United States and the state of Ohio share.” Justin Trudeau, however, has created an unprecedented shift in the country. The resolution condemned “the actions of Canadian authorities who arrested, fined and jailed clergy members during COVID crackdowns.”
It is noteworthy that after Justin Trudeau became prime minister of Canada, he shut down the Office of Religious Freedom.
Much of Iraq has seen devastating drought conditions over the past year, leaving people and crops searching for water.
As a result the reservoir behind the Mosul dam, the country’s largest, has shrunk considerably and revealed areas of the lake-bed usually underwater.
In one location, the drought revealed the 3,400-year-old ruins of a city from around the same time that King Tutankhamun ruled Egypt.
A team of archaeologists believe it to be the remnants of a city from the Mittani Kingdom which ruled an area, now northern Iraq and Syria, for a few hundred years during the Bronze Age.
Earlier this year, the team found evidence of a large city, including a storage complex, industrial building and fortifications. They also found pots containing cuneiform tablets — clay blocks with writing from thousands of years ago.
It is thought that the city was destroyed by an earthquake around 1350 BCE which covered the mud walls, and protected them from being dissolved in the water.
The Mittani Kingdom ruled from around 1500 BCE to 1300 BCE, experts say, around the northern edges of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers until being destroyed by rival kingdoms, the Hittites and Assyrians.
Drought conditions in 2018 had temporarily revealed a palace in this spot, which was later inundated by water so the archaeology team had to work fast, according to a press release.
