Lassana
Bathily, the Mali-born Muslim employee who saved the lives of several shoppers at Kosher supermarket during the
Paris attack that left 4 dead, has been granted French citizenship by France.
The 24 year old guided terrified customers to safety in a supermarket chiller when terrorist Amedy
Coulibaly burst into the supermarket on January 9th and killed four people. Lassana, who was in the store's underground stockroom at the time, hid many customers in a freezer. He then escaped and was able to give police valuable information about what was happening inside. He's been praised for his
quick-thinking and bravery and is being called a hero.
To reward him, the French government granted him citizenship during a ceremony that held today, saying his 'act of humanity has become a symbol of an Islam of peace and tolerance.'
Receiving his citizenship, Lassana said with tears in his eyes 'Tonight I'm very proud and deeply touched. I'm not a hero, I am Lassana. I'll stay true to myself. People are all equal to me and skin color isn't a matter. France is the country of human rights,'
Some of the people he saved pictured above. Below is the story he told of what happened that day
"When they ran down, I opened the door [of the freezer]. There are several people who came to me. I turned off the light, I turned off the freezer. When I turned off the cold, I put them [hostages] in, I closed the door, I told them to stay calm.'
After the siege ended, Lassana said many of the customers came to
shake his hand and thank him for what he did. He's lived in France since 2006 and had filed an application for French citizenship last year.

Its good to help people, if man did not reward you God will reward you!!!
It pays to be good!
That's quite good unlike the bad ones who are painting Islam in a bad light. I am a Christian but I think we all worship the same God irrespective of religion or creed. He did the right thing and is very commendable.
Congrats to him.
Nice1!
Awww it pays to do good you never know where the rewards will come from.
oh dear, my grandfather says he's 24.
Islam is a religion of love $ peace, stop comparing us with the unbelievers (terrorists)even the holy Qur'an conderm it.

great..
I think citizenship is too small for a reward. They could do that and more.
Definately a hero
The fact that he did it out of compassion is why they should have done more for him
U touch my heart, my soul with ur good deed.. I pray U never miss heaven as well. Congrat bro...
I felt like crying reading this. I am a christian,and i am very proud of you dear hero.
I pray that God will replicate your mind among Boko Haram. God bless you. God bless Nigeria and the worl
I am a GEJ supporter.
U are truelly an example to muslim
Abegi, citizenship he was already due for. The Govt just used the opportunity to make it seem like they are giving him more than he deserves, msheww
A very big congrats 2 him. May God continue 2 bless him Amen
<a I am glad you are reporting good thing about Islam and Muslims. At a point I was doubtful about your professionalism in reporting news objectively. Kudos to the young guy. Islam forbids evil and enjoins good deeds. Love for all, Hatred for none.

That's very heroic, but hope the terrorists will not target him now oh, this one they're referring to him as a symbol of an islam of peace and tolerance. The terrorists don't think it is a peaceful or tolerant religion. So he should be watching his back.
GOD BLESS YOU BROTHER
How many times will u comment Mr Aboki, u must not post million same comments to be heard. Haba
Congrats to him.
It's good to be good.
This is a muslim from Mali, where Islam is majorly practised who has saved lives of people that most probably are non- muslims. This is the true demonstration of Islamic teachings. How in any way will Muslims be compared with terrorist that wreak all sort of havoc? Let somebody change his/her negative impression about Islam. Muslims are peace lovers and peace makers.
Lol
Nigerians and insatiable demands. Given him more of what? He got national recognition and a passport. Do u even know what it means to live in a foreign land without passport? Abeg dem try. Unlike our govt. What have they done for the families of the fallen soldiers who sacrificed their lives trying to save us from boko haram despite d fact that they had no weapons they still fought. Nothing!
Nice one man! Congrats to him #onelovefromsnow#
Mkay. French nationality is more valuable than I thought. Cash reward would have been better.
Nice 1.......hope some peeps will now believe DAT Islam is a religion of peace
Am happy for his heroic moves this shows he is an exceptional Muslim
That was great. Kudos
All d Muslim go dey claim Famz now,i hope dis same guy won't plant bomb 2mao in d same country..mtcheeew.congrat all d same
Idiot
WON WON !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GUD WORK. NOBATAN!!
Humility is the watch word, God bless him.
Wow Dats good he got his reward affter wards
Nice...an act of bravery.........Better things coming his way.
Moye says so via BB Passport...Courtesy LIB....
People are so quick to ask muslims to come out and condemn terrorism from extremist.....unlike Christianity, Muslims does not really have organized bodies whose leaders speak for them. As long as you know your religion you can practice solo and worship anywhere any mosque. So if chief imam of Lagos central mosque speaks....he can't come out to say he is speaking for all Lagos Muslims unlike adeboye will speak for most redeemers.
What more can you give than what he's just been given.i guess you don't know the power of freedom to eat,sleep,work anywhere,take loans,health care,marry who you want,go to school.
He's been openly handed a perfect appraisal card.you are a disappointment for writing this.
Thats a good muslim. MOST ARE FANATICS AND BRAIN-WASHED.
A true Muslim indeed! Not a terrorist. Allahu Akbar!
That's a very big thing he was given n that's a country that appreciates
Dia ris God
GOOD ONE AM ACTUALLY IN TEARS RIGHT NOW,THAT IS HOW GOD WORKS!!!IN MYSTERIOUS WAYS MAY GOD ALONE BLESS HIS HUSTLE!!! JC

No, we don't my dear. Get ur facts right!
U seee not all Muslims are messed up.
U see not all Muslims are fucked up.
Olivver twist! U still exist?
More indeed. If this happened in your country what would he have gotten? Well done to the Muslim dude and the French government
GOOD ONE!
I sincerely think this guy needs security guards. I will not be surprise to hear that his Muslim brothers killed him because he harbored people that i presume to be non-Muslim. Islamic extremists can be that wicked!
A good move by the government...now lassana has equal rights and total freedom...he is already favored for more..
...close up paste please..
Happy 4 him oo,hw i wish he is a Nigerian
There r still gud pple
Thank God we still have good muslims.
This ur Linda take note is really annoyin all cos of d year bonus well Juliet I tink Linda must ve noticed u already so pls stop.
Congratulations brother, and thank you for giving Islam a good picture. Thank you for portraying the true preaching of Islam. "Islam is peace" and "Peace is Islam"
You're an idiot!
You're an idiot!
May Allah reward him abundatly. Thats yhe kind of message islam preaches. To love and cherish all souls on earth including non humans
Christie Benjamin, if anyone including your parents ever told you u were smart, they lied to u! There's no greater fool on earth than you.
I am happy for him. Doing the right thing always pays off eventually.
Very well deserved.
Great stuff. Well deserved
The French are not racist but the British are. Britain would not give a Nigerian man citizenship for doing that though
awww thats nice...
Check the comments and see the trend. if a muslim does good thing they don't generalize..But if its a bad thing they condemn all Muslims. If ISIS and BH kill westerners its all muslims that are bad. If Saudi Arabia beheads a murderess its all muslims.
Are these commentators trained to be so biased? Or is it willful ignorance?
I pray this foolish Isis people don't go after him
Am so touched a muslim for dt matter.i hope they wil not find him n kill.i pray Jesus protect u in Jesus name amen!
#nothanksi'llratherbeselfmade#
This brought tear to my eyes, and I don't even know him. Very Well done. May God reward you in heaven also.
God will reward him more.....
U be idiot eddy...oponu oniranu...
Good reward!
