Muslim Youths Burn Court in Kano, over Blasphemous Comment
From Ibrahim Shuaibu in Kano
Hundreds of Muslim youths on Friday morning burnt a Sharia court
situated at Rijiyar Lemo area and took to the streets protesting an
alleged blasphemous comment by a sect member of Tijjaniyya, Malam Abdul
Nyass.
The youths marched from various parts of the state holding placards
condemning the statement made by the sect member against the holy
prophet Muhammad.
Our correspondent saw the aggrieved youths protesting towards Mandawari
and Dandago areas as they marched to the Emir of Kano's palace to lay
their complaint.
The youths and some old men were on the streets along with Muslim women
condemning the culprit and calling for his punishment according to
islamic rites.
The sect's leader who is a known figure among the followers of
Tijjaniyya and made a statement against prophet Muhammad last week
during his usual preaching at Goron Dutse general area of Kano
metropolis.
All effort to contact the police spokesman, ASP Musa Magaji Majia proved abortive as he did not pick this reporter's calls.
