A Nigerian husband desperate for help recently revealed that his wife and the mother of his five children was reportedly arrested in May and remains behind bars with no justice in sight. Rhoda Ya’u Jatau, a Christian nurse from northern Nigeria, was detained on blasphemy charges, according to Joel Veldkamp, head of international communications at persecution watchdog Christian Solidarity International (CSI). "She's in prison for for blasphemy," Veldkamp said, noting she was arrested after sharing video of a Muslim man speaking out against the stoning of a Christian woman named Deborah Emmanuel Yakubu. As Faithwire previously reported, Yakubu, a 25-year-old Christian college student, was stoned last May by Muslims after claims she, too, was accused of blasphemy. "[Deborah's story] was big news in Nigeria and lots of people were sharing their opinions about it and ... a Muslim person in Ghana, a neighboring country, made a video saying, 'This murder was terrible,'" Veldkamp explained. "Deborah should never have been murdered and this Nigerian Christian woman named "Rhoda shared that video, and then she herself was accused of blasphemy for sharing the video saying that Deborah should not have been murdered." Blasphemy charges could end up stemming from any accusation, Veldkamp said. Watch him explain the ordeal.
