Deborah Samuel was brutally murdered in Sokoto State, according to Sheikh Ahmad Gumi.
Despite insults from non-Muslims, Gumi claims that the Holy Prophet Muhammad (SAW) never killed anyone.
The cleric made the remark during a religious sermon at his Kaduna mosque, Juma'at.
According to the Daily Post, Gumi added in a statement translated by PRNigeria that the greatest way for Muslims to show their love for the Prophet is to follow his words.
"Anyone who murders a non-Muslim with whom they have promised to live peacefully for 40 years will not smell the fragrance of Paradise," he said.
"Whoever kills a non-Muslim with whom they have promised to live peacefully for 40 years will not smell the fragrance of Paradise," he stated.
"If we assume that by executing Deborah, individuals who do not share our faith will cease disrespecting our prophet, we are delusory," he added.
