CONSTITUTION SHOULD BE AMENDED TO ACCOMMODATE PECULIARITIES OF SHARI’A – CJN

The Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Justice Ibrahim Tanko Muhammad, yesterday advocated for the amendment of Nigeria’s constitution to accommodate some of the concerns of Muslims and the Shari’a law. Muhammad made this known while declaring the 20th Annual Judges Conference open at the Ahmadu Bello University (ABU), Zaria Faculty of Law’s Moot Court. Commenting on the theme of the two-day conference, ‘Documentation of Contracts in Islamic Law: Procedure, Sample Precedents and Practice’, organised by the Centre for Islamic Legal Studies (CILS) of the ABU in collaboration with National Judicial Institute (NJI), Abuja, Justice Muhammad also urged academicians to champion the cause of redesigning the methods of teaching Shari’a law.


Represented by Justice Muhammad Danjuma, Grand Khadi of Niger State, the CJN said the implementation of his suggestions would be more feasible if universities give the Shari’a law its own faculty.


He said: “As we all know, there are sections of the constitution that allow the implementation of Shari’a personal law and apart from that, we cannot do more. However, we have the number to emend the constitution to suit our own position as Muslims.” Muhammad said increase of judges to be learned in Shari’a would allow them to attend to issues that have to do with Islamic law. In the same vein, the CJN said in view of the importance of the Shari’a legal system to the legal profession, Shari’a law ought to be taught in Arabic language in Nigerian universities.


He added: “The Shari’a law should be taught in Arabic not English. There is no university in Nigeria that runs Shari’a in Arabic; they all teach Shari’a in English. So, academicians let’s also look into this issue.” The Vice-Chancellor of ABU, Professor Ibrahim Garba, said academic conferences are avenues of creating knowledge for the benefit of humanity, hence the university’s decision to support the judges’ conference.

Imagine wetin they bother this CJN


Religion, faith , this that and people are still suffering ...politicians will use the "religion code" to decieve Nigerians for a very long time

NIGERIAN CONSTITUTION SHOULD BE AMMENDED TO ACCOMMODATED PECULIARITIES OF ALL RELIGION AND NOT SHARI'A ALONE!!!...

Sharia CJN implementing the real assignment given to him by buhari's APC islamist regime. Tanko was placed to use the instrumentality of law and constitution for further advance Islamization via sharia law.

I trust by now, Nigerians can see why the Terrorist illegally removed Onnogen to install Tanko. Islamization of Nigeria is the secret agenda of buhari's devilish APC regime.

Checkout all proponents of Islamic Sharia law in Nigeria from Buhari to Boko haram, and now a self acclaimed CJN, you will see they have one thing in common - they're all Islamist Fundamentalist.

Nigerians better shine their eyes and unite against buhari's Islamic regime. This satanic govt is up to no good.
The ultimate goal of this regime is fulanization and islamization of Nigeria through the advancement of islamic sharia law.

If you desire peace progress and economic development, then you must unite with others for the burning of the constitution. Nigerian Constitution is a Devilish Document that must be abolished by all.

Another avenue for indigenous pigs to wail



God bless General Muhammadu Buhari

We need help, you see yourself Sowore. Let us divide this country

There are more pressing issues in this country, but the only priority of this fulani cjn is sharia law. They should just divide this country asap

This should be moved to front page. We are being led by jihadist.

Front page

It is obvious terrorist are already in control of our country

This would be easily done in Arewanistan.

The Sharia CJN should advocate the modification of the constitution to create separate country for muslims. There they can practice all their several fantasies.

We have too many Isa Pantami in this government.
They are all in sensitive positions.

Shey you people say you want One Nigeria. There it is. Those that have ears let them hear
