A woman has been burnt to death by a mob in Kasuwan-Garba town in Mariga Local Government Area (LGA) of Niger State.
The woman, reportedly a restaurant owner, allegedly made comments considered offensive while interacting with a customer in her establishment.
It was gathered that the customer jokingly proposed marriage to her, citing the tradition of the Prophet, after which she made the alleged blasphemous remarks.
The woman was first taken to the palace of the District Head of Kasuwan-Garba, who then handed her over to security operatives for investigation.
But the mob overwhelmed the security operatives and lynched her, setting her ablaze.
