Comments for Truth Nigeria
Its Community Court of Justice recently ruled that Nigeria must reform or repeal its blasphemy laws, especially in Kano State.
“The Nigerian government should take the necessary steps to repeal or amend the blasphemy laws, in accordance with this ruling,” he said.
The Christian Association of Nigeria has also backed the ECOWAS court, urging Kano State to comply.
Now, the Supreme Court of Nigeria needs to strike down these egregious and obnoxious blasphemy laws and set Yahaya free.
By implication, it means that everyone charged under S.382(b) of the Kano State Penal Code Laws, 2000 must be set free immediately,” he told TruthNigeria.
