Two suspects were arrested in connection with the murder of the student, who was identified as Deborah Samuel, said a spokesperson for the Sokoto state command. Reuters was not able to reach her family for comment. "She composed an audio that contains blasphemous comments on the Prophet of Islam and posted in the group, that is what triggered everything.""Students forcefully removed the victim from the security room where she was hidden by the school authorities, killed her and burnt the building," police spokesperson Sanusi Abubakar said in a statement.

"Police have fired teargas on the students...then began firing shots in the sky to disperse the students, but they resisted," said a student in her second year.
