Amnesty International has demanded immediate justice for slain Deborah Samuel, a student of a Sokoto college of education mobbed and burnt to death by irate Islamists on Thursday.
“Amnesty International Nigeria condemns the horrific lynching of a female student of the Shehu Shagari College of Education, Sokoto on alleged blasphemy against the Prophet Mohammed on 12 May 2022,” the statement said. “The lynching of the female student is deplorable, and authorities must ensure those responsible for her death are immediately arrested and brought to justice.”
On Thursday, attackers in Sokoto set ablaze Ms Samuel, a Christian female student of Shehu Shagari College of Education in Wamako. Ms Samuel was accused of passing unflattering comments about Prophet Mohammed on campus.
