Apostle Johnson Suleman of Omega Fire Ministries Apostle Johnson Suleman of Omega Fire Ministries

Apostle Johnson Suleman of Omega Fire Ministries, has reacted to the death sentenced passed on a 30-year-old singer for blasphemy.

Suleman lamented that Nigeria which pardoned Boko Haram terrorists could sentence a man to death by hanging for blasphemy.

An Upper Sharia Court sitting in Kano had convicted Yahaya Sharif-Aminu, to death by hanging for comments against Prophet Mohammad.

The trial Judge, Khadi Muhammad Ali-Kani had ruled that Sharif-Aminu’s audio remark against Prophet Mohammad was against Islamic law and was sentenced to death by hanging.

Reacting, Apostle Suleman in a tweet wrote: “A country that pardons terrorists wants to kill a man for blasphemy. I am sure even Saudi Arabia is shocked. The worst form of deception is self-deceit.”

Recall that the Nigerian government had recently graduated and reintegrated 601 repentant Boko Haram members into the society.
