BREAKING: Aminu Yahaya Sharif: Appeal Court discharges Kano singer sentenced to death for insulting Prophet Mohammed
The appeal division of the Kano State High Court has upturned the death sentence passed on Aminu Yahaya Sharif, a Kano singer, charged for insulting Prophet Mohammed.
The two-man panel of the court in a judgment on the appeal filed by Sharif ordered a retrial of the case on the grounds that the whole proceedings at the lower court were characterised with irregularities.
The court in another appeal also set aside the judgement and sentencing of Umar Faruk, a 13-year-old boy who was sentenced to 10 years imprisonment on the charge of blasphemy.
More to come.
