Nigerians React As Sharia Court Sentences Singer To Death By Hanging (VIDEO)

A Sharia Court in Kano, presided by Justice Khadi Muhammad Ali-Kani, has sentenced a singer, Yahaya Sharif-Aminu, to death by hanging.

According to reports, Yahaya Sharif-Aminu was sentenced to death by handing over blasphemy.

Sharif-Aminu, a resident of Sharifai Quarters of Kano Municipal, was arraigned by the police on a one-count charge of inciting religious creed.

This, the police said this was contrary to section 382 (6) of Kano State Sharia Panel Code Law 2000.

The Prosecution witness, Insp. Aminu Yar-Goje informed the court that the singer committed the offense on February 28.

Yar-Goje also disclosed that on the same date at about 8:00 p.m. and 11:50 p.m, Yahaya Sharif-Aminu made a blasphemous post via a WhatsApp group chat aimed at hurting the feelings of Muslims faithful.

“The convict made blasphemous and degrading audio remarks against Prophet Muhammad (PBUH),” he said.

"This religious belief is indeed questionable. Can you imagine one being sentenced to death for blaspheming against Jesus Christ or The Almighty God?"... Ekeoma Nonsom Onuoha

Sharia Law should be abolished in Nigeria. No man deserves to die for expressing their opinion. It's so primitive to sentence a whole human life to death cos of blasphemy, all in the name of religion.

If you talk am. You go die. If you know talk am. You go still die. So why not talk am when the truth is showing clearly that Islam is barbarism

The Sharia law/courts in northern Nigeria is a sham and we all know it.

It’s a political construct used by the Northern oligarchs to hold on the power and keep the people improvised and enslaved.

Sadly, it t is the people that defend it the most.

Nigeria constitution section 10, stated it clearly:

"Prohibition of State Religion": The govt of the federation or of a state shall not adopt any religion as a state religion.

The same Sharia law they used to arrest Mubarak Bala over blasphemy against Prophet Muhammad. For More than 100 days now Bala is still in prison.

If Muhammad can't fight his battle. Then Islam is pointless. Not all Muslims are bad but for someone to be Boko Haram it takes Islam.
