There have been very few details about the incident but some reports claim that an unknown student was engaged in a war of words with a Muslim friend and blasphemed the prophet in the process.

An irate mob then stormed the house of the ‘blasphemer’ and set it ablaze, killing all eight occupants of the house.

 

Police in Zamfara state have confirmed the incident and imposed an indefinite curfew in the town with a view to restoring peace in the area.
