Eight people have been killed in Nigeria after a mob burnt down the house of a Muslim man who intervened when a Christian was beaten over allegations he had blasphemed.

The incident occured on Monday after a Christian was accused of blasphemy against Islam and the Prophet Muhammad in the northern state of Zamfara. According to witnesses quoted by News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), a large group of Muslim students started to beat their Christian classmate.

But a Muslim passerby intervened and drove the victim to hospital, according to local media reports.

The mob then turned on the Muslim passerby and burnt down his house with eight people trapped inside. The rescuer himself was not among the dead, a police spokesman confirmed.
