Trouble started after the deceased was said to have made the blasphemous comment on a WhatsApp group where her classmates were.

Someone was said to have shared a religious post on the platform. Criticising the person, Deborah was said to have made blasphemous statement against Prophet Muhammad.

“The college security personnel had to intervened by whisking her to their office but they were overwhelmed by students, who later killed her and set her body ablaze,” a source told Daily Trust.

Governor Aminu Tambuwal had met with religious leaders on Friday to douse tension.
