Murdered student Deborah Samuel
At least two persons have been arrested over the killing of a female student of the Shehu Shagari College of Education, the police said on Thursday.
According to the police, Deborah Samuel, a level-two student, was accused of making a social media post that blasphemed the holy prophet Muhammad (SAW).
The police said the students forcefully removed the victim from the security room where she was hidden by the school authorities, killed her and burnt the building.
Videos on social media show men stoning and flogging a motionless body draped in red attire.
Some footage also captured a raging fire as a man faced the camera, claiming that he killed and burnt her, and brandishing a matchbox.
The police vowed that the suspects in the viral video on Twitter were spotted and will be nailed soon, according to a statement signed by police spokesperson in Sokoto, Sanusi Abubakar.
According to Mr. Abubakar, the school has been shut down and additional police personnel deployed to the area. (Text, excluding headline: Channels TV)
