An Islamic court has sentenced nine people to death for insulting the Prophet Mohammad in the northern Nigerian city of Kano.
They were charged last month and have all pleaded guilty, the head of Kano's religious police, Aminu Ibrahim Daurawa, told the BBC.
It is not known if they will appeal against the sentence.
Kano has a predominately Muslim population and Islamic courts operate alongside secular courts
