“The man who did that confessed to being a follower of a particular Islamic sect. But the adherents of that sect rejected him right away. “Lawyers just told us that the case could go up to Supreme Court. So if that happens, I will not waste time in approving the verdict right away. And the second issue is, if the victim did not take up the case to appellate courts, I will not waste time to give the approval for the execution. I will not take more than few minutes to accept the verdict,” Mr Ganduje said.
