On Thursday, a female student at Sokoto State’s Shehu Shagari College of Education was set on fire after making an alleged anti-Muslim remark (S.A.W).

The event that caused tension in the school occurred on Thursday morning.

Deborah, the student, was reportedly beaten to a pulp before being set on fire, according to sources.

Some young males were seen tossing stones at the victim in a video that went viral on social media.

The assailants gathered tyres around the victim after she slumped to the ground unwittingly before setting her fire.
