There will also be "Supreme Sharia Court soon" to settle Ruga.



And Buhari would have won the war on Ruga against Obasanjo.

Go and read the constitition and see where there is provision for a federal Sharia appeal court.

You niggers are to lazy to do your own reserch and depend on handed down narratives.

No wonder you all have an iQ hovering around room temperature on the centigrade scale.

I don't know about the name, but the dude is right, we have the Sharia court which is having coordinate jurisdiction with SHC and FHC, and also Sharia Court of Appeal. Grand Khadi or something is the head of the court.
@op, abeg shey na government employee wey dey receive salary wrote that letter?
Only God knows what those that wrote our Constitution were smoking when it was written.
Nigeria is a secular state with no state religion of any form, yet same idiots included Sharia Court/Law in our Constitution.

Dont mind that ignoramus.

Back in 1979, the likes of Amir Sanusi where rioting in campuses across the north to have Sharia included in the 1979 constitution, while the useless southerners where busy in kegite and other useless frat activities.

It is no wonder that the idiota will not be aware that the revamped 1999 constitution was and is still is a dusted up facsimile of the 1979 constitution.

Southerners are generally stupid and myopic.

For him to even doubt this glaring fact shows how ignorant he is.

Offcourse.

They arrested some young southern Girls in Sabogarin area of Kano for "indescent" dressing and labelled them prostitutes

They raid beer joints and places where they sell roasted pigs.

I don't know the scope of the law, but an accused can easily denounce a religious belief at his own volition according to the Constitution, so how does such answers to provision of the law(Sharia).
I mean a Muslim faithful can say he is no longer one if caught in the act of flouting the law.
Like the poster above said, why are people subjected to the law in a particular location even when they are not of that faith?
I'm sure the recent raid of clubs in Abuja has more of religious (Sharia) undertone than bringing sanity and moral standard to the society

OlujobaSamuel:

Then he or she will be subsequently arraigned for apostacy which carries instant death penalty.

Enough lets divide nigeria then

I don't have much time to argue but I think this fact will be important for the discussion, I wasn't saying the law doesn't have a provision for sharia court be for sharia high court has no base in law and no law established sharia high court in Nigeria. I'm saying that Nigerian constitution didn't make provision for that. I think Nigerians should stop abuse themselves over things that doesn't necessary call for such.

I'm still going to take you to sections that established all sharia courts in Nigeria

Nigeria’s transition from Northern-dominated military rule to a Southern-led civilian regime in 1999 revived fierce debates on what the status of Sharia should be in an independent, secular state. The issue attained even higher importance when Zamfara became the first state to extend Sharia from personal status issues into the domain of criminal justice and to establish Sharia courts with corresponding jurisdiction. After Zamfara showed the way, eleven other Northern states soon followed with similar legislative programmes.

Since Section 275 of the federal Constitution allows for the creation of state Sharia Court of Appeals, it can be argued that the Constitution has implicitly reserved discretion to the states to create their own Sharia courts to act as courts of first instance. However, the constitutionality of extending Sharia into the purview of criminal justice remains questionable. It is certainly the case that Section 4 (7) (a) of the federal Constitution allows state National Assemblies to legislate on “any matter not included in the Exclusive Legislative List” that enumerates the issues falling within federal jurisdiction. However when it comes to the application of Sharia, Sections 262 and 277 qualify this relative legislative freedom of both the federal and state National Assemblies to specific issues of personal law. Any expansion in scope would require constitutional amendment, which under section 9 (2) could only be passed with two-thirds of the votes in the federal National Assembly along with the approval of at least two-thirds of all states. Given that the majority of the states are predominantly Christian, a constitutional amendment on the extension of Sharia would be a hard nut to crack under the present amendment procedure. Nevertheless, against the background of recurrent sectarian violence and contention around the issue of Sharia, the unconstitutional status quo has prevailed in a dozen Northern states.

It has also been argued that the enforcement of Sharia infringes on the rights and freedoms of Nigerians, including the right to move about freely and to be treated equally in their chosen place of residence. Given that the Constitution envisages the application of Sharia only to Muslims, an emblematic example of such infringement is subjecting non-Muslims to Sharia law in the affected Northern states. For instance, Christians have long been punished for such otherwise lawful activities as consuming alcohol due to the prohibition under Sharia. Although non-Muslim Nigerians in the affected Northern states continue to hold the same citizenship as their counterparts in the other 24 states, in practice they are unable to enjoy their rights and freedoms equally, for instance when women are prohibited from sharing taxis and buses with men.

From a more holistic perspective, the adoption of Sharia appears to contradict article 10 that proscribes any State religion. Especially as the Constitution not only declares the secularity of the Nigerian state but in Section 1 (3) also affirms the supremacy of the federal Constitution over “any other law [that] is inconsistent...” with it.


Lalasticlala I'm so sure.

mrvitalis:

No,it can not be apply to non Muslim living in Zamfara.It can not be apply to Muslim that decided to go for the other court.

I'm guessing they'll be Supreme Sharia Court

Isinweke:
SHARIA POLICE IS LIKE STATE POLICE, WE NEED OUR OWN STATES POLICE.

They will have their own State police and prevent others from having theirs...

Injustice in the country is mind boggling

Southerners need to wake Up

What a nation

northerners see southerners as fools, n i think they're right.

consuming large doses of western jaundiced education does not translate to intelligence.

ekwueme 7 degrees, was deputy to an NCE holder
osinbanjo a law professor is deputy to a certificateless tryrant
azikiwe a masters degree holder was made a useless governor-general, a TC2(it's like an A level certificate) holder became prime minister

the list goes on and on.

a people's true intelligence lies in how much they appreciate n apply their culture to all facets of life, be it commerce, law, science, government, religion, military, diplomacy etc.

no society truly advances on borrowed culture or consciousness.

And they are crying over Wike
