The British Government has condemned the killing of Deborah
Samuel, a 200-level student of Shehu Shagari College of Education, Sokoto
State, who was burnt on Thursday.
The student was beaten to a pulp and burnt alive by male
Muslim students who accused her of insulting Prophet Muhammed via a WhatsApp
platform.
The school authority has shut down academic activities
indefinitely as tension gripped residents of the area.
The development has stirred diverse reactions amongst
Nigerians who condemned the act.
Reacting, Catriona Laing, the British High Commissioner to
Nigeria on Twitter called on President Muhammadu Buhari-led government to
arrest and prosecute the perpetrators.
“I condemn the murder of Deborah Samuel in Sokoto, and urge
the police and relevant authorities to ensure the perpetrators of this horrific
act are made to face justice in line with the law,” Laing wrote.
