The Kano State Government has firmly rejected the recent ruling by the ECOWAS Court of Justice, which deemed its blasphemy laws a violation of fundamental human rights. In a statement, state officials emphasized the importance of these laws in safeguarding Islamic values and maintaining moral order in the predominantly Muslim region.
The ECOWAS Court's ruling sparked a significant debate, highlighting the tension between religious preservation and human rights. The court argued that Kano’s blasphemy laws infringe on the rights of individuals to freedom of expression and belief. However, Kano State officials contend that enforcing these laws is vital for upholding the cultural and religious order in the society.
