May 14, (THEWILL) – Some residents of Sokoto State, will on Saturday, embark on a mass protest against the arrest of two suspects, allegedly involved in the murder of a female student of Shehu Shagari College of Education, identified as Deborah Samuel, over alleged blasphemy on Thursday morning.

THEWILL had reported how Deborah was violently stoned to death and later set ablaze by angry mob, who were mostly students of the college.

Following the incident, the Sokoto State Police Command said two suspects were arrested and taken into custody.

According to the Sokoto Police spokesman, Sanusi Abubakar, the mob overpowered campus security before killing the female student and setting her remains on fire.

However, a leaflet, seen by THEWILL on Saturday, written in Hausa language, asked Muslims to come out en mass to protest against the arrest of the suspected killers.

According to the leaflet, Gawon Mama Roundabout in Sokoto is the meeting point at 9am.
