Popular Nigerian seer, Primate Elijah Ayodele of the INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Lagos has given his candid advice on the young Kano singer, Yahaya Sharif who was sentenced to death by hanging for committing blasphemy.
Primate Ayodele said; “The Sultan of Sokoto is a man of love and should use his powerful office to ensure that Sharif isn’t killed.”
“Killing him is tantamount to incurring the wrath of God, hence, justice should be tampered with mercy. If death punishment is being passed on such offence, then any Boko haram member caught should be immediately killed too.”
“God isn’t happy about killing Sheriff, I’m not a Muslim but I appeal to Sultan who preaches love, and the Islamic council, to use their good office to address the issue of Yahaya Sharif.”
“I know they have been killing several people but Yahaya Sheriff’s case is different, his death will incur God’s wrath, which won’t be good.”
“President Buhari should do something about Sharia Laws especially the ones that deal with execution, if execution is the punishment for an offence like this, then execution should also be the punishment to Boko haram members.”
“I am not disputing the fact that He committed an offence but justice should be tampered with mercy.”
