The mob killing of Deborah Samuel, who was accused of blasphemy, has reignited debate in Nigeria over its blasphemy legal guidelines.
Deborah Samuel, a 21-year-old Christian scholar in faculty in northern Nigeria, was crushed her dying after being accused of blasphemy over a WhatsApp voice notice.
Blasphemy legal guidelines have lengthy been controversial within the nation.
