Men in Eritrea have been asked by the President Isaias Afwerki-led government to marry more than one wife or risk being jailed for life. This is contained in a statement in Arabic by the Grand Mufti (the highest official of religious law in the country) which scanned copy surfaced on social media sites on Thursday last week. In the statement, Eritrea called for all men in the country to marry at least two wives and the government assured the men that it would pay for the marriage ceremonies and houses. According to the government, the order is because there is an acute shortage of men occasioned by causalities during the civil war with Ethiopia. Afkinsider.com said the document, which could not be independently verified, warned that any man or woman who opposes the decision “will face a life sentence”. The document in Arabic, which is in Arabic, says, “Based on the law of God in polygamy, and given the circumstances which the country is experiencing in terms of men shortage, the Eritrean department of Religious Affairs has decided on the following: “First that every man shall marry at least two women and the man who refuses to do so shall be subjected to life imprisonment with hard labour. “The woman who tries to prevent her husband from marrying another wife shall be punished to life imprisonment.” More than 150,000 Eritrean soldiers were killed during the secession war from Ethiopia between 1998 and 2000. At the time Eritrea had about four million people. Eritrea, is a country in theHorn of Africa. With its capital at Asmara, it is bordered by Sudan in the west, Ethiopia in the south, and Djibouti in the southeast. The northeastern and eastern parts of Eritrea have an extensive coastline along the Red Sea, across from Saudi Arabia and Yemen. The nation has a total area of approximately 117,600 km, and includes the Dahlak Archipelago and several of the Hanish Islands. Its name Eritrea is based on the Greek name for the Red Sea, which was first adopted for Italian Eritrea in 1890. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2016/01/marry-two-wives-or-be-jailed-eritrea-govt-tells-men/

It was recently reported that the Chief Judge of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Justice Ishaq Bello, had ordered Magistrates in the FCT to stop granting remand orders to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). This order may be connected to the policy of EFCC of securing warrants from magistrates to detain suspects beyond the 48 hours allowed by law. This was the move adopted by the EFCC to enable it detain the National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Olisa Metuh in its custody pending the conclusion of its investigation or his proper arraignment. The EFCC claims to have obtained a valid court order to detain Olisa Metuh for 14 days. Many Nigerians have expressed their views on this development and as usual most views on the issue are split along sentimental lines. You might have pitched your tent with one side or the other but let’s see what the law actually says. The purpose of this article is to address the issue of the validity or otherwise of the order of the Abuja Chief Judge to magistrates in line with the extant laws on such issues. Section 293 (1) of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act, 2015 which provides that, “A suspect arrested for an offence which a magistrate Court has no jurisdiction to try shall within a reasonable time of arrest be brought before a Magistrate Court for remand.” Such a remand order once granted shall be for a period not exceeding 14 days in the first instance, and the case shall be returnable within the same period. A suspect affected by such a remand order is entitled to apply for bail before the Magistrate Court or proceed to the High Court to apply for the enforcement of his fundamental right to personal liberty. The validity of this practice has been upheld by the Nigerian Supreme Court (the highest court of the land) in the case of Mrs. E. A. Lufadeju v. Evang. Johnson (2007) 8 NWLR (PT 1037) P. 535, where the Supreme Court affirmed the powers of Magistrates to remand suspects brought before the Court for offenses the Magistrate Court lacks the jurisdiction to try. The law in Nigeria appears to be quite clear as it affects the powers of Magistrate Courts to grant remand orders. I humbly submit that these provisions of the law as well as the decision of the Supreme Court in Lufadeju’s case cited above, makes the directive of the Learned Chief Judge to Magistrates to be of no effect in law. The only lawful way to strip Magistrates of this power would have to be by Legislative amendment of the existing laws. It is therefore safe to conclude that if the EFCC obtained a remand order to detain Olisah Metuh then his detention by the EFCC was lawful and not a violation of his rights under s. 35 of the Constitution. While our anti-corruption agencies have not been up to scratch in the past, it is safe to conclude that the EFCC was spot on this time. P.S. as at the time of writing this article, Chief Olisa Metuh has been charged to court by the EFCC and has been remanded in custody at Kuje Prison pending his bail application hearing. http://getjusticeonline..de/2016/01/the-trials-of-brother-olisa-metuh-by.html?spref=tw&m=1

The Shias and the Nigerian Security Forces The relationship between the Nigerian security forces and the Shia sect in Nigeria has been frosty at best. Over the years the activities of the sect has placed them on a collision course with the Nigerian Army and the results have never been fun for anyone. El Zakzaky himself has been a guest at several detention facilities in the 80s and 90s due to his anti-government rhetoric and his demands for an Iran-style Islamic Revolutionary government. In 2009 his sect clashed with police resulting in several casualties and in July 2014, after a clash with the Army, three of Zakzaky’s sons were killed along with about 36 of his followers. This recent killing of members of the Shiite sect appears to be another case of impunity by our security forces. The story by the Army that sect members tried to assassinate the Chief of Army Staff does not hold water. Assuming but not conceding that this was the case, how does that justify the huge death toll and the number of hours spent by the army invading and destroying the headquarters of the sect? It goes without saying that the sect has been very lawless in the past and they broke the law by blocking a federal road but did so many of them need to die for that? Does the army have the power to act the way they did? We shall consider these and other issues in the next part of this article. http://getjusticeonline..de/2016/01/the-shiites-army-and-dead-in-between-1.html?spref=tw&m=1 |
The Shiites or Shias Contrary to the impression held by many non-Muslims, Muslims are not one united group. The Truth remains that Muslims are generally divided into two main sects; the Sunnis and the Shiites or Shias with a number of sub-sects underneath both sects. Upon the death of the holy Prophet Mohammed a dispute arose as to who becomes his successor. The Shias or “Shiat Ali” or the party of Ali, were a political faction who claimed the right of Ali, the son-in-law of the Prophet Mohammad, and his descendants to lead the Islamic community. The Sunnis remain the orthodox Muslims and form the majority of Muslims (about 90 percent). Currently there are about 120 to 170 million Shia Muslims in the world, roughly about 10 percent of all Muslims. Shia Muslims are majority in Iran, Iraq, Azerbaijan and Bahrain. In Nigeria the face of Shia Islam appears to be Sheik El Zakzaky. A prominent student Islamic leader in ABU Zaria in his days as a student, he switched to Shia Islam after his visit to Iran in the 80’s and became its major proponent in Nigeria. It is interesting to note that El Zakzaky was once in league with Yusuf Mohammed and Abubakar Shekau of Boko Haram fame. They are believed to have trained under him but broke away from him due to differences in their Islamic ideologies. The Shiites have been a target of the Boko Haram sect who we need to note is Sunni.

The 12th of December will be a dark day for many in the City of Zaria in Kaduna State, Nigeria, where a confrontation between the army and Shiite sect members ended in the deaths of a number of the sect members. The exact account of events varies depending on who you ask but we will attempt to piece it all together to give us a fairly good idea of what happened. From all indications, the whole problem started the previous day when the Shiite group lost about four of its members to a struggle with another sect for the control of a mosque. The sect claims that they were marching as a security measure while others believe that they were marching on a revenge mission. The result of the march was that they blocked the Sokoto road in Zaria. It was while they were at it that the Chief of Army Staff, Lt. General Tukur Yusuf Buratai was on his way to the 73rd passing out Parade of new recruits and his convoy was prevented from passing through. Senior army officers made moves to negotiate with sect members who rather stubbornly refused to budge insisting that no one could ask them to leave the road save for their leader...........
