The Palace of the Sultan of Sokoto came under attack on Saturday, over the arrest of the suspected killers of Deborah Samuel.

All the religious centres were also under tight security.

Meanwhile, Gov. Aminu Tambuwal of Sokoto state on Saturday imposed a 24-hour curfew to contain the rising protests across township streets over alleged religious blasphemy.
