Blasphemy: Convicted Kano gospel singer finally appeals death sentence

Human rights activist, Femi Falana, has applied to appeal the ruling of a Shari’a court in Kano sentencing gospel singer, Yahaya Aminu to death by hanging for blaspheming the Prophet Muhammad.
Kano state judiciary said it submitted copies of the judgment to Falana’s representative on Wednesday.
This is coming less than a week to the expiration of the 30-day allowed by the law for a convict to appeal the judgment.
Babajibo Ibrahim, the spokesman of the Judiciary, said, “The judiciary received a request from representative of Femi Falana on Tuesday and certified copies of the judgment were made available to him on Wednesday.”
The sentence was passed on August 10.
OnyxNews Nigeria recalls Kano governor, Abdullahi Ganduje on 27th August said he was set to sign the death warrant, if the convict failed to appeal the judgment at the expiration of the 30-day grace.
Meanwhile, Yahaya is still detained in the Nigerian Correctional Service.
