Deborah Emmanuel, a student at Sokoto's Shehu Shagari College of Education who was slain for blasphemy, has been laid to rest.

On Saturday, Emmanuel was laid to rest in her village of Tunga Magajiya, Rijau LGA, Niger state.

Her ashes were laid to rest about 6:30 p.m. in Tunga Magajiya's Christian cemetery.

Before she was buried, Emmanuel Maaji, the deceased's uncle and a minister at ECWA church, conducted the prayers.

On Thursday, a mob assassinated Deborah for supposed blasphemy.

Social media users posted videos of the late student being stoned and attacked with sticks.

Nigerians have demanded that the government find the perpetrators of her murder, which has generated outrage across the country.

There was also a barrage of denunciation from civil society organizations (CSOs), Muslim leaders and groups, including the Sultan of Sokoto, Muhammadu Abubakar.

Two suspects were also arrested in connection with the crime, according to the Sokoto police command.

Some Muslim teenagers in Sokoto flocked to the streets on Saturday morning to protest the suspects' arrest.

"Release our Muslim brothers," "Muslims Are Not Terrorists," and "Peaceful riot" were among the posters carried by the demonstrators.

To suppress the violence, Sokoto Governor Aminu Tambuwal issued a curfew in some portions of the state.
