Speaking at a gathering of religious leaders, legal practitioners security personnel and government officials at the Government House, Kano, on Thursday, Ganduje explained that the law of the land provides that the convicted person had the right to appeal within 30 days, which if it elapses and the warrant is brought before him, he will sign it.
He said, “The court has done its job and as a government we have provided the needed security.
“The judgment has taken place and the law of the land allows the person convicted to appeal further within 30 days to the high court and to the Appeal Court and to the Supreme Court as the case may be.
“Should at the end of it the warrant is presented before me, I will not waste time in signing it.
On the second hand, if he does not appeal within the specified period, I will not spend a minute in signing the death warrant.”
Yahaya Sharif-Aminu, a musician, was on August 10 sentenced to death by a Shari’a court for committing alleged blasphemy against the Prophet of Islam in a song he circulated via WhatsApp.

I'm very sad to be in the same country with this kind of people.......God please where are you?
ReplyDeleteBlood sucking religion. Murderers. Genocides. Boko Haram. Jihadists. It's better to be of no religion than to be associated with such or identify with them
DeleteWrongest religion to belong to.No mercy in their bones.
ReplyDeleteSee them,misplaced priorities,so there is no problem in katsina state except for this issue,rubbish government
ReplyDeleteANIMALS
ReplyDeleteThe laws that are made for the poor
ReplyDeleteThe question is, “why would he include the name of Prophet Muhammed in the song in first place”?..
ReplyDeleteWe know these are touchy subjects, yet we go ahead and do it anyway then expect to be pardoned when you’re found wanting.
My dear ooooooh, my exact sentiment!
DeleteHe's a Muslim and he knows everything about his religious, WHY toe this line????
My only misgivings is the governor now playing god, like oga seriously, you will sharply sign this death warrant but you with video evidence and your voice heard clearly while you were 'pocketing dollars'!
The State Assembly wanted to investigate you blocked them by heading to court, till date the incident don 'die'!
Well shaa, time shall tell!!
My Victory Dance Loading 💃🥰
He Is a Muslim and he Insulted Prophet Mohammed, so big deal? What sort of religion finds it so easy to take people's lives?
ReplyDeleteWhat sort of religion condemns and doesn't give a second chance?
This should not be happening in 2020 and I really don't care who abused Jesus Christ or prophet Mohammed, It stinks to the ears and to humanity.Na wah for this kind religion of peace, It is very peaceful.
To think that this man is corruption personified... Useless man
ReplyDeleteWhy did Lord Lugard amalgamate us????? Its a really sad story
ReplyDeleteEasah and co come here and defend this barbarism
ReplyDeleteYou will never see him on this post,just wait till Stella makes a post about any pastor,you will see all over
Delete@Ms tee I use to think that...it wasn't true about him but I am beginning to see that.
DeleteEssah Pls stop commenting about anything that has to do with pastors if you won't do the same for your brothers
Essay/Isa come out from your shell and enlighten us of what he did wrong.
DeleteSigh
ReplyDeleteHow did we get here in the first instance?
ReplyDeleteThis is not breaking news, if you
ReplyDeletehave lived in the north,you will
understand, the person in
question is a Muslim and he knows
his religion better than
anyone,
Thank God say na them dem.
ReplyDeleteSo many people would never get to meet the Prophet Muhammad Because they will be going to hell. This thief is one of them.
ReplyDeleteI wish that guy will gain his freedom, what a leader we have in Nigeria.
ReplyDeleteAs a Muslim living and governing a Muslim state, Ganduje hands are tied and I think he is trying to enlighten the embattled musician to seek redress in the court of law as quick as possible cos he knew these court will never uphold such conviction. He is indirectly urging them to seek redress when they can.
ReplyDeleteDoes it mean prophet Mohammed cannot fight his battles? Did he ask them to help him crucify any blasphemer? Shior.
ReplyDeleteObviously he can't fight for himself so he needs foot soldiers and zombies to carry out his wicked rules.
DeleteWhat of the other worst sins committed against fellow humans?
ReplyDeleteAre those not insults?
Onye iberibe, and this is the height of iberiberism. Jesus Is the only way to God, any other way leads to hell.
ReplyDeleteBut what was the insult though?
ReplyDeleteIs there not a Supreme Court in the nation that governs every state the accused can appeal to? Why can't they just banish him from the region since there are other places he can go live in the nation. Why is death the only solution?
