The group in a statement said, “The death by hanging of Yahaya Sharif Aminu for blaspheming against Prophet Muhammed is repulsive to natural justice, equity and good conscience and a gross violation of his rights to freedom of thought, conscience, religion and expression.'
The group in a statement said, “The death by hanging of Yahaya Sharif Aminu for blaspheming against Prophet Muhammed is repulsive to natural justice, equity and good conscience and a gross violation of his rights to freedom of thought, conscience, religion and expression."Pro-democracy and human rights group, Concerned Nigerians, has condemned the sentence to death by hanging of a Kano-based musician, Yahaya Sharif-Aminu, over alleged blasphemy against Prophet Muhammad by a Sharia court.
The group in a statement by its spokesperson, Theophilus Abu Agada, said, “The death by hanging of Yahaya Sharif Aminu for blaspheming against Prophet Muhammed is repulsive to natural justice, equity and good conscience and a gross violation of his rights to freedom of thought, conscience, religion and expression.
“We condemn in strong terms the death sentence by hanging to a Kano-based artiste, Yahaya Sharif-Aminu, for blaspheming against the Prophet Muhammad. “The injustice faced by non-religious and even religious people in some parts of Nigeria is unbecoming. Every Nigerian, irrespective of their belief, should be allowed to practice whatever they believe without being arrested, detained and sentenced to death.
“It is hypocritical on the part of religious and political class to always hound vulnerable Nigerians on trivial matters while they commit the most heinous crimes against God and humanity.”
