Kano State Governor Mr Abdullahi Umar Ganduje on Thursday, backed the death sentence passed on a 22-year-old Aminu Yahaya Sharif, for blasphemy.
“What happened is so important to the state and to the security of the state and the nation in general. What the Court did is absolutely right. And we support it completely. Such an irresponsible act, if not because of the state power, nobody could know what would happen in the future,” he said. “I will not waste time in signing the warrant for the execution of the man who blasphemed our Holy Prophet of Islam,” he assured.
Also, representatives of the Islamic scholars addressed the gathering about why the judgement should be accepted and executed. He hinted that accepting the judgement would strengthen courts in the state and would also mean respecting Kano people and their religious rights.
