A Shari’a Court l sitting in Magajin Gari, Kaduna on Thursday sentenced a 19-year-old girl, Zainab Abdullahi, to 80 strokes of the cane for smoking marijuana in public.

Delivering judgment, the Judge, Malam Muhammad Shehu-Adamu, sentenced Abdullahi after she pleaded guilty to the offence.

Shehu-Adamu held that the 80 strokes of cane was a punishment stipulated for people who engaged in taking intoxicants (Hadd) and cannot be reversed.

He urged the Muslim Council of Nigeria to continue with their good work and try to reform the convict in the possible way they can.

Earlier, the prosecutor, Ibrahim Shuaibu, told the court that the police arrested Abdullahi on the road smoking marijuana.

Shuaibu told the court that the convict had been convicted was serving a jail term due to her inability to pay a fine of N7,000, until a religious organisation named Muslim Council of Nigeria paid the fine.

Also speaking in court, Abdulrahman Sadiq, a member of the council commended the court for instilling value and promoting peace in the society praying the court to reduce the punishment for the convict.

When you say teenager, you make it seem like she's not already an adult who has the right to make decisions for herself.

And some people will come here and say it's a religion of peace, come out of your mental slavery.

Both Christianity and Islam have a dark history of murder and violence from the beginning till date.
Believing one is any better than the other is the actual mental slavery.

does this Islamic court treat those who are christains

Violence and abuse in the name of religion perpetrated by religious bigots and hypocrites, i can bet you there are marijuana smokers among her accusers and even the judges and staff at that sharia court.
In the North igbo is like biscuits or candy, a normal thing.
