Muslim Lawyers Glorify’s Kano Singer’s Death Sentence

 

 

Muslim Lawyers Association of Nigeria (MULAN) in Kano State, have gloried the death sentence given to a 22-year-old singer,  Yahaya Sharif-Aminu over alleged blasphemy against Islamic Prophet Muhammad.

The statement read;

“The position of the Law under Shari’a is that any sane and adult muslim, who insults, defames, or utters words or acts which are capable of bringing into disrepute, odium, contempt of the holy Prophet, such a person has committed a serious crime punishable by death.

“The general public should understand that Shari’a is a Muslim Law applicable only to Muslims. Any person who accepts to be Muslim must obey the provisions of Shari’a, whether it pleases him or not. Those who are not followers of Islamic faith should be reminded that the constitution of Nigeria guarantees Nigerians to practice and observe the religion of their choice and be bound by its Laws and principles.

“We urge the Executive arm of Kano State government to ensure strict compliance to the Judgement, as part of its commitment towards proper implementation of Sharia.

The Chairman of the group Muhammad Sani Garba Esq said the judge was right in his verdict in which he convicted and sentenced the accused to death without prejudice to the right of appeal of the convict because the Supreme Court had set a precedent in the case of Abubakar Shalla Vs State in 2007.

The group also urged the Governor of Kano Abdullahi Umar Ganduje who is yet to react to the ruling, to sign the death warrant.
