Mob burns Nigerian woman to death for alleged blasphemy

A mob in Sokoto, Nigeria, has burned a woman to death for alleged blasphemy. The incident has been condemned by the police as "jungle justice," and they have vowed to bring the perpetrators to justice. The victim, a female student, was accused of making blasphemous statements against the Prophet Muhammad on a WhatsApp group. This led to a violent reaction from the mob, who descended upon her and set her on fire. The police have launched an investigation into the incident and have promised to apprehend those responsible. The tragic event has once again highlighted the issue of religious intolerance and the use of violence in the name of religion. Authorities have emphasized the need to uphold the rule of law and respect for human rights, regardless of religious beliefs.
