The Kano State government says it’s ready to sign the death warrant of convicted Islamic cleric, Sheikh Abduljabbar Nasiru Kabara.
The Commissioner for Justice and Attorney General of Kano State, Lawan Musa, has said State Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, is ready to sign the death warrant of the convicted Islamic cleric, Sheikh Abduljabbar Nasiru Kabara.
Lawan Musa confirmed this to newsmen, while reacting to the conviction and sentencing of Abduljabbar to death by hanging after an Upper Sharia Court found him guilty of the charge of blasphemy levelled against him by the state government.
The Commissioner said the court has vindicated the state government and assured that the governor remains committed to maintaining law and order in the state.
“Nobody will be allowed to break the law without the necessary actions being taken.
“We took him (Abduljabbar) to court and gave him all the necessary things to defend himself and today, we thank God, the court has seen that we do have a case against him and has convicted him accordingly,” he said.
Musa added: “Just as it (position of the governor) has not changed in the case of Hanifa, it has equally not changed on this.
