Strong Words Kano Cleric Said After Death Sentence For Blasphemy

Sheikh Abduljabbar Kabara, an embattled Kano-based Islamic cleric, has urged the Upper Shari’a Court sitting at Kofar Kudu in Kano State to expedite action in carrying out the death sentence passed against him, saying he is not afraid to die.

Mr Abduljabbar was sentenced to death by hanging by a court presided over by Ibrahim Sarki-Yola on Thursday.

Mr Kabara was on trial for making blasphemous statements about Prophet Muhammad, PBUH, during some of his sermons.

Speaking in court shortly after the verdict, Mr Abuljabbar demanded that the sentence be carried out as soon as possible, saying that he was willing to die an honorable death.

He said: “Nobody should be worried about my death because I meet my creator in a honourable manner.

“And I am not begging you Ibrahim to temper justice with mercy. I am only seeking God’s mercy. I urge the court to expedite action in executing this judgement.”

The cleric, on the other hand, accused the judge of slanting all of his evidence in favor of the prosecutors.

“I listened to how you twisted my defense. You turned all my evidence upside down,” Mr Abduljabbar told the judge.

Mr Sarki-Yola stated in his judgment that he was convinced by all of the evidence presented by the prosecution counsels, declaring that they proved their case beyond reasonable doubt.

He said: “I am convinced that the prosecution counsel has done their part and proven their case beyond reasonable doubt.”
