Amidst his death sentence, Sheikh Kabara Abduljabbar has said he would die a hero.
A Kano Upper Shari’a Court, sitting at Kofar Kudu, Kano, on Thursday, sentenced Abduljabbar to death by hanging for blaspheming Prophet Muhammed.
The Judge, Ibrahim Yola gave the convict 30 days to appeal his judgment and ordered the state government to demolish the convicted cleric two mosques.
Amidst the judgment, Abduljabbar interjected accusing the judge of injustice and adding that his killing would make him a hero.
His word, “My lord, I heard how you twisted all my evidence, turned around all my submissions upside down, and assigned words to me that I never uttered.
“Deliver your judgement, and I am not asking for leniency at all. I want all my followers to know that I will die a hero and I don’t want you (the judge) Ibrahim Sarki Yola to do me any favour or grant me leniency. This is my last word. Assalamu Alaikum.”
The cleric was accused of blasphemy and charged in July 2021 by the state government.
