Sowore, writing on his verified social media account, revealed that he had intended to visit the cleric in prison but was deterred by the circumstances of his detention. He described the situation as “heartbreaking and utterly unacceptable,” emphasizing that no religious scholar should remain behind bars simply because their teachings differ from those endorsed by the authorities in Kano State.
Sheikh Kabara was sentenced to death by hanging by an Upper Shari’a Court in Kano, led by Malam Ibrahim Sarki Yola, on December 15, 2022, following charges of blasphemy. The charges were based on comments he allegedly made about Prophet Muhammad SAW on August 10, October 25, and December 20, 2019.
Sowore stressed that Nigeria must end practices that suppress religious expression. “The era of religious persecution in Nigeria must end now,” he said, urging federal authorities and human rights organizations to intervene. He warned that prolonged detention of Kabara threatens Nigeria’s commitment to justice and freedom of expression, asserting that no democracy can thrive when the state dictates which religious opinions are acceptable.
