Hundreds of Muslim youth
protested outside a Sharia
Court located in Kano City on
Friday morning. According to
protesters at the scene, they
were upset over a
blasphemous comment made
by Malam Abdul Nyass, from
the Tijjaniyya path of Islam.
Protesters outside the Sharia
Court eventually burned it
down out of frustration over
the statements made against
the Holy Prophet Muhammad.
The youth, coming from all
over Kano State, arrived to
the demonstration area
holding placards condemning
the statement he made about
the Holy Prophet Muhammad.
SaharaReporters
correspondent saw the
protests heading towards the
Mandawari and Dandago
areas, where they planned on
confronting the Emir of Kano,
Lamido Sanusi, to lay their
complaints.
Among the protesters were
old men and Muslim women,
many of whom were
condemning the Malam Abdul
Nyass’s statements and
calling for punishment
according to Islamic rites.
Malam Abdul Nyass is a
known figure among the
followers of Tijjaniyya and
made the controversial
statements against prophet
Muhammad last week during
his usual sermon at Goron
Dutse of Kano.
All effort to contact the police
spokesman, ASP Musa
Magaji Majia proved abortive
as he declined to pick the
calls put to his phone
number.
