He was found guilty on a one-count charge bordering on derogatory comments contained in one of his songs.
The Shari’a court Khadi, Aliyu Muhammad Kani recently delivered the ruling, finding Yahaya guilty.

The irate youths had invaded Yahaya’s family house and consequently razed down the family house when they could not lay their hands on the singer.
