The Kano State Government has said that it will continue to pursue legal action against the alleged blasphemous singer, Yahaya Sharif, whose death sentence by an Upper Sharia Court was quashed due to an error in judgment.
The Court of Appeal presided over by Justice Nuradeen Sagir who is the State Chief Justice had ordered the retrial of the singer, Yahaya Sharif, at the same Sharia Upper Court but with a full legal representation.
The State Attorney General, Barrister MA Lawan, speaking after the court session, said the judgment was a victory for the people of Kano State for the fact that the appellant counsel’s claim was that the whole trial was done contrary to the constitution of the nation, because the Sharia court was not recognized by the constitution of the nation.
