An Upper Shari’a Area Court sitting in Bauchi has upheld the judgement of a lower court that ordered the amputation of the arm of one Abdullahi Sale for theft.

A lower Shari’a Court in the area had earlier convicted Sale, a resident of Kogi village in Bauchi Local Government Area, on the charges of theft levelled against him.

The Police Prosecutor, Corporal Idris Malum, had told the court that the convict broke into the shops of one DanladiYa’u of Zungur, Kogi and Yusuf Babba of Bula-Lusa and carted away property worth about N13, 000.

The prosecutor said the offence contravened section 151 of Shari’a Penal Code.

The convict had pleaded guilty, but sought for leniency from the court, but the Police Prosecutor asked the court not to grant the prayers in order to serve as deterrent to others.

The convict has 30 days to appeal the judgement.

.Lord forgive them for they know not what they are doing.

When are we going to enter the 21st century abeg!

Now i can comprehend what befell those deformed abokis begging for stipends @ Apapa. Sharia takes off their hand to teach them a lesson, suppose the lessons are learnt and he is repentant, how do you expect the amputated to fend for themselves and family

And these people want Amnesty for Boko Haram who commit greater offence?

Well...Farouk Lawan should be charged in this same sharia court.

I weep for Naija!

ahh I hate some beliefs

Maybe we should make a deal that we will only acceept amnesty if corrupt politicians have to go to sharia court to get their hands lopped off.

Make that 1 body part for every million stolen.

Never. We shall remain trapped by a primitive religion from the 7th century forever.
