Abdul-Lateef Adekilekun, an Islamic cleric, says those who kill other people because of blasphemy are acting based on ignorance.
NAN reports that Adekilekun spoke in Ede, Osun state, on Friday.
On Sunday, Usman Buda, a butcher, was killed over alleged blasphemy in Sokoto.
Buda was reportedly stoned to death by an angry mob at the Sokoto abattoir over remarks considered to be an insult to Prophet Muhammad.
