"Youths" Murder Man for Blasphemy

Your R.O.P. in action:

Witnesses told Daily Trust that the man, though a Muslim, made a statement residents considered as blasphemous against the Holy Prophet after his relatives denied him his share of the estate left by their deceased father....

A witness said, "Many youths carrying various types of dangerous weapons have started grouping themselves for further action over the issue before the police and Hisbah men dispersed them."

He said the victim made the alleged blasphemous statement Friday night and repeated same on Saturday morning.

When the news spread to the neighborhood about the man's statement, a group of youths mobilized and attacked him.

Although in Africa, I'm sure the root cause of these youths' anger is somehow related to lack of social mobility in French society.
