Aggrieved youth burnt down the Upper Sharia court, Rijiyar Lemo following the appearance of an Islamic cleric, Abdul Inyas accused of blasphemy.
Thousands of youths had thronged the court to witness the trial of Tijjayya sect leader who was taken into custody last Wednesday after he was rescued from mob at Makwarari quarters.
Just yesterday Irate youth stormed and demolished his modest resident located at Gida, Kumbotso local government area of the municipality.
Also around Mandawari area of the municipal, a huge crowd of protesters were seen heading towards Emir’s palace chanting death to anyone that denigrate the Prophet of Islam.
The development has triggered panic in the city of 9.5million dwellers as police seems helpless so far.
Effort to reach the Kano police Image Maker, ASP Magaji Musa Majia was not successful as calls to his mobile was unanswered.
Rubbish!

ReplyDeleteKano has gone to the dogs. The verdict by a so-called Shariah Court in Kano, Nigeria, sentencing nine people to death for blaspheming the Prophet is absurd. The defendants do not seem to have even been given the chance to repent, whereas in the life story of our beloved Prophet we come across several examples of how he forgave those who lampooned him no sooner they sought his forgiveness, a good example being the poet Kab Ibn Zuhair.
ReplyDeleteThe verdict was driven by the fear of the authorities that extremists would riot had the death sentences not been handed down. This is a travesty of justice since the authorities were bowing to the will of the mob than let the law take its usual course and serves as a bad precedent for mob rule, as we have seen in Pakistan with all its attendant evils. Give the mob power and you’re only paving the way for anarchy and chaos.
Such mobs taking the law to their own hands should be shot on sight. Those who show no mercy should not be shown any mercy. This is the only way we can rid this cancer from our society.
