Senate President, Bukola Saraki, has reacted to the recent beheading of a Christian woman in Kano by some Islamic fundamentalists.

Few days ago, some youths in Kano killed a woman and cut off her head, parading it on the streets of the ancient city.

The victim was alleged to have blasphemed Prophet Mohammed, a revered figure in Islam.

However, on Saturday morning, the Senate President condemned the act, describing it as barbaric.

Saraki vowed that the Senate will look into the issue and work with the Kano State Government to punish those behind it.
