The appeal division of the Kano State High Court has set aside the death sentence passed on Aminu Yahaya Sharif, for blasphemy.

Mr Sharif, a resident of Sharifai in Kano metropolis was accused of committing blasphemy against the prophet in a song he circulated via WhatsApp in March 2020.

Following the incident, protestors burnt down the singer’s family home and led a procession to the Kano Hisbah Command’s headquarters.

A Kano Upper Shari’a Court sitting at Hausawa Filin Hockey in Kano
sentenced him to death in August, 2020. A decision he appealed in September 2020.

The Executive Governor of Kano State, Umar Ganduje had indicated readiness to sign the death warrant once it completed the full cycle of the Court.

“I will not waste time in signing the warrant for the execution of the man, who blasphemed our Holy Prophet of Islam," Ganduje said

An Appeal Court in Kano hearing the case of a singer, Yahaya Sharif Aminu, who allegedly blasphemed against Islam has been set aside, while the court has ordered another trial of the matter.

However, the presiding judge Justice Nuradeen Sagir, who is the State Chief Judge and his co-panellist, Justice Nasiru Saminu, ruled that the first trial was full of irregularities and that the appellant was not given a fair legal representation.

Both judges, therefore, submitted that the judgement by an Upper Sharia Court Hausawa Filin Hockey contravenes section 2-6-9 of the ACJN, and that was done in nullity.

Justice Sagir who is the presiding judge ordered that the case be re-tried at the same court, but that the appellant be given a fair hearing and full legal representation.

Something I keep wondering... Does this people reasons from anus...
They silent on insecurity, carrying rubbish matter up ND down. Goddu wenni

We Muslims should ask ourselves this question, if this guy we continue to be one of us after all this? When those u called your brother want to put u to death only to be save by so called people that do not believe God do exist, Muslims should learn how to live the fight for God to defend himself, how can ordinary humans being be fighting on behave of Almighty God. Almighty God is too massive for ordinary, uncleaned and unholy human to fight on his behalf. If we continue like this, it is going to scare not only new people to join Islam but also push or scares away those already in islam

Only barbarians will sentence a child to death

On a serious note Lord Lugard children should apologize to Nigerians......

This is 2021 ffs

God Bless Him

Thank God Nigeria is a secular state, if not these unreasonable men fighting for their god would have beheaded you.

Misplaced priority. Their bones and ego will widen to sentence him but set aside scholarship for the repented boko haramist.

I still wonder why a religion will be ruling over q state.

Good

divide this country so the north can practice whatever they like

Fair enough.

Seeing that Justice Saminu is one of the presiding Judges, I knew the decision would be fair and reasonable.

"One Nigeria" is the biggest lie of all time.
Southners and Northerners are two different people entirely.
