Religion in Kano State of Nigeria is mainly Islam. The Sharia is valid in the entire state. The Roman Catholic Diocese of Kano has its seat in the state. It stated in Kano State that there is freedom in the practise of religion of Christianity in Kano State. This claim was recently challenged when the Governor of Kano State publicly converted an underaged minor to Islam.[1] In 2022, Mubarak Bala, the president of Humanist Association of Nigeria, was sentenced to 24 years in prison for comments he made on social media about Islam.[2]
