Police in Nigeria say they are searching for those who appear in a video circulating on social media showing last week's lynching of a female student in the northern city of Sokoto.

Deborah Samuel, a Christian student, was accused of blasphemy for insulting Islam at a college - prompting an angry reaction from some Muslim students.

She was killed by a mob, who set her body alight last Thursday.

Two suspects were arrested at the time but denied involvement when they appeared in court on Monday.

Police spokesperson Sanusi Abubakar said others had fled the scene and could be spotted in the video.

He urged the public to support officers in their hunt for these suspects.
