The report concluded that the school principle was the only person to offer any assistance to Mrs. Oluwasesin. He attempted to shield her with his body, and was badly beaten as a result.
The decision to release all of the suspects has alarmed the Christian community. Several fear that a high-level cover up may be underway after the state's attorney general went on air to claim that the suspects had "no case to answer". Some predict an increase in similar attacks if Mrs. Oluwasesin's attackers are allowed to go unpunished.
After killing Mrs. Oluwasesin, the crowd was heard chanting the names of other Christian members of staff and asking of their whereabouts, indicating that they too were being targeted.
In a statement to the governor of Gombe, the Christian teachers stated: "This implies that the massacre is not over; up to this moment some Christian teachers are being harassed on their way to their houses; hence our lives are still in danger".
CAN Gombe has called for the prosecution of the student involved in the initial incident, the man known as the 'Angel of death' and the school's head prefect, who has refused to reveal the names of others involved in the murder.
The organisation has also called for an investigation into the lack of police intervention on behalf of Mrs. Oluwasesin. So far several petitions by Christians to government authorities have not received a response.
Christian Solidarity Worldwide's National Director, Stuart Windsor, says: "This brutal murder of an innocent woman demands justice, and it is vital for the future of a unified and democratic Nigeria that no-one is considered above the law. The fact that this incident occurred in a federal institution is particularly disturbing.
"We therefore call on the incoming federal government to ensure that the authorities in Gombe take decisive action against the perpetrators of this gruesome act, who continue to harass Christian teachers in the state, and to work to end the culture of impunity in which such sectarian violence has been allowed to thrive."
