The nine (eight man and a woman), were reported to have said that "Niasse was bigger than Prophet Muhammad", triggering unrest. The venue was burnt to the ground by an angry mob and the nine were arrested,
"There has been consensus among Muslims scholars that insulting the prophet carries a death sentence," the head of Kano's religious police, Aminu Ibrahim Daurawa, told the BBC Hausa service. "We quickly put them on trial to avoid bloodshed because people were very angry and trying to take law into their hands," he added.
When the accused persons appeared in court on May 22nd thousands of youths who stormed the court to witness the proceedings burnt down the Sharia court. This development may have forced government to conduct the trial in secret. But while the accused were in detention irate youths stormed and demolished Sheik Abdul Inyass residence located at Gaida, Kumbotso local government area of the municipality.
