Nigerian Govenor to Sign Death Warrant for “Blaspheming” Muslim 😢

Abdullahi Ganduje, the Governor of Kano State said the State Government has accepted the death penalty on a Kano-based singer, Yahaya Sharif and the verdict would be signed in 30 days. Sharif was convicted to death by a Kano State Sharia Court for allegedly insulting the Prophet Muhammed in a song he shared on WhatsApp. “In the event the convict appeals the judgement, we shall wait and follow the case up to the Appeal Court. If he further appeals to the Supreme Court, we shall follow the case there. If the Supreme Court upholds the two lower court judgments, the governor of Kano State will not add one minute to sign the execution order,” Ganduje said. The governor raised alarm on the growing issue of blasphemy adding that the government would ensure that it is curbed in the state.
