In Kano state, on Tuesday, a Shariah high court
sentenced a famous Muslim priest and nine others to death by hanging for
profanation against Prophet Mohammed and inducing a religious emergency.
Priest Abdulaziz Dauda, generally known Inyass, was said to
have likened the Prophet Muhammad with the late pioneer of another religion
amid a get together – the Maulud merriment – in Kano, about a year ago. At the
decision, the court said that Dauda and nine others likewise drove individuals
to sustain savagery in response to their religious statutes.
Priest Dauda was captured in Abuja on the eighteenth of
August 2015 and conveyed to Kano for trial on a two-count charge of profanation
and inducing roughness. He and the other denounced individuals were found liable
after five witnesses testified against them, including the police.
