Nigeria clash: Abuja mob burns man to death over row with Muslim cleric – By BBC News Staff (BBC) / June 4, 2022
Nigerian police say a man who had a row with a Muslim cleric died in the capital, Abuja, after being set ablaze by a mob supporting the cleric.
Ahmad Usman, 30, was in a local vigilante group and police say about 200 people were mobilised against him.
Eyewitnesses said the row was over an alleged blasphemous remark, but the police have not confirmed this.
Last month, a Christian student was killed by Muslim students who accused her of blasphemy in the city of Sokoto.
