Do you know what shariah law means?

Alhamdullilah the self acclaimed scholar did not quote from the glorious Quran rather from a text from his fellow Algerian scholar.

Al-Muqaddima al-Waghlīsiyya is a famous short introductory text on Māliki jurisprudence, Islamic creed, and spiritual purification written by the 14th-century Algerian scholar ʿAbd al-Raḥmān al-Waghlīsī (died 1384 CE). It served for centuries as a foundational staple for students across North Africa and West Africa before advancing to more advanced texts.

Adeniyi Adeyemi, director-general (DG) of the “controversial” presidential foreign intervention promotion council (PFIPC), says those who lent him N100 million to secure the appointment have petitioned the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) over repayment.

Adeyemi, who is facing allegations of forgery and impersonation over the existence of the PFIPC, spoke on Monday during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today.

The presidency has said the council does not exist and that Adeyemi was never appointed by the office of the chief of staff to the president.

On July 7, President Bola Tinubu directed the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) to conduct a “thorough investigation” into the PFIPC controversy.

Responding to questions about the source of the funds he used to operate and resources at his disposal, Adeyemi said the money was borrowed.

“Mr. Seun, I borrowed this money. In fact, those that I borrowed this N100 million have reported to EFCC,” he said.

“I borrowed this money to pay for this appointment. In fact, I can tell you, they have reported to the EFCC, asking me to refund their money. I borrowed this money.”

‘UN APPOINTMENT CLAIM IS CAMPAIGN OF CALUMNY’

Adeyemi also dismissed allegations that he falsely claimed to have received an appointment from the United Nations (UN).

“It’s all sponsored. It’s a campaign of calumny. They should let us face the facts and documents. It is unfortunate that some actors in the government are taking up this matter. It’s unfortunate, and it’s embarrassing,” he said.

“Honestly, imagine the government claiming that one man, and called me a con artist, manoeuvred the whole system; it is unfortunate.”

Reacting to reports that a US-based lobbying firm is helping him seek asylum abroad, Adeyemi denied planning to leave Nigeria.

“I just ignored it because they sponsor a lot of people to bring my social media handle down,” he said.

“I don’t really know much about what is going on again. They said I was about to run away out of Nigeria. I’m still in Nigeria. I’m not going anywhere.”

A man wanted for allegedly sexually assaulting a child inside a grocery store in Scarborough has been arrested.

Officers were called to the Victoria Park Avenue and St. Clair Avenue East area around 7 p.m. on June 21, after a report that a child had been assaulted while shopping with their parents.

According to investigators, the child was inside a grocery store when an unknown man approached and sexually assaulted the victim. Police say the suspect immediately fled, prompting a civilian to chase him on foot before losing sight of him.

On Tuesday, Idris Olajide Oladejo, 35, of Toronto, was arrested and has been charged with sexual assault and sexual interference.

He was scheduled to appear in court on Tuesday.

DomPerignon:
How does that excuse Anambra having the highest gay hookup spots in Nigeria according to the National agency responsible for combating AIDS?

DomPerignon:
Which cultural shock?

Are you not from Anambra?

Same Anambra that NACAN did a census on disorderly houses and establishments within Onitsha and Awka and discovered over 50 gay hookup spots.

In that head bridge area , there are homosexual dens all over the place.

Anambra is the gay capital of Nigeria so don't act as if you were shocked.

Even Kanu alleged that your Obi sleeps with men and we know that Obi's own son is an openly flamboyant gay man.


So stop forming shock.

It predates the colonial times, heck it even goes back to long before Islam came to Kano.

(Keep in mind that I am discussing history, I am not here to attack anybody's tribe or religion).

A lot of tribes in subsaharan Africa did do 'a bit of gay'. It does not mean it was acceptable...but it happened.(and it wasn't acceptable in the vast majority of tribes)

If anything, the colonial masters brought in laws that codified homo behaviour as criminal activity...our current law is descended from English laws against 'sodo..my' in the 19th century.

Islamists are even harder on transgender than Trump
So find another ridiculous statement

The US Supreme Court has ruled that states can ban transgender women from competing in female school and college sports.

The court considered cases from students in two different states who had challenged bans on participation. The two states, Idaho and West Virginia, enacted laws that required public school and college sports teams to compete in accordance with their sex recorded at birth.

One of the two challenges said the ban violates equal rights protections in the US Constitution. The other said it contradicts civil rights laws.

More than two dozen states have enacted bans since Idaho did so in 2020. President Donald Trump celebrated the decision in a social media post as a "BIG WIN".

Under those state bans, a transgender woman - a biological male who identifies as a woman - is not permitted to compete in female sports at schools and colleges.

All nine justices on the court decided the state bans do not violate a civil rights law called Title IX that prohibits sex-based discrimination in schools.

But the judges were split along ideological lines on whether the bans contravene the Constitution's 14th Amendment guarantee of equal protection under the law.

The six conservative justices said it did not violate the constitution, while the three liberal justices disagreed.

"The Constitution and Title IX do not require an overhaul of women's and girls' sports throughout America," wrote Justice Brett Kavanaugh, who wrote the ruling.

In her partial dissent, Justice Sonia Sotomayor said the majority opinion had applied "a diminished view of equal protection" to sports.

The challenge launched in Idaho came from a transgender woman, Lindsay Hecox, a long-distance runner, who lodged it shortly after the law was enacted. She was later granted an injunction by both a district court and an appeals court.

State lawmaker Barbara Ehardt, who introduced the law, said at the time of its passing that it would ensure "boys and men will not be able to take the place of girls and women in sports because it's not fair".

But in the appeals ruling, a panel of three judges found that the Idaho law violated constitutional rights. They said the state had failed to provide evidence that its ban protects "sex equality and opportunity for women athletes".

The plaintiff in West Virginia was 16-year-old Becky Pepper-Jackson, who challenged that state ban on equal-protection grounds.

West Virginia Attorney General JB McCuskey said Tuesday's ruling was a victory for common sense and would give all states "the clarity and confidence to ensure fairness and safety for female athletes today and for generations to come".

But the Human Rights Campaign (HRC), which advocates for the LGBT community, criticised the decision.

"This ruling is heartbreaking for transgender student athletes who are being forced to sit on the sidelines simply for who they are," said HRC president Kelley Robinson.

President Trump made the issue of transgender athletes in women's sports a focus of his 2024 election campaign.

Last year, he signed an executive order that aimed to ban transgender women from competing on female sports teams in schools and colleges.

Following that decision, the NCAA, the governing body for US college sports, banned transgender women from competing in women's sports.

US First Lady Melania Trump celebrated Tuesday's ruling by the Supreme Court as a victory for women in sports, while adding that she supported the rights of gay and transgender Americans.

"America, we can support the rights of the LGBTQIA+ community and also protect opportunities for female athletes. Respect everyone and keep girls' sports fair," she wrote on social media. "Both ideals are essential."

Supporters of the bans argued that transgender women had a biological advantage over athletes who were recorded female at birth.

When the International Olympic Committee (IOC) announced in March it was going to limit the women's category of Olympic sports to biological females, it said its working group reviewed the latest scientific evidence over the previous 18 months and had concluded there was a "clear consensus" that "male sex provides a performance advantage in all sports and events that rely on strength, power and resistance" .

Those who opposed the bans argue that they unfairly discriminated against transgender students and dispute whether there is a scientific consensus that transgender women and girls have an inherent advantage.

Operatives of the Lagos State Police Command have arrested a 21-year-old man, Samson Onilewaji, after he was allegedly found with a suspected human hand during a stop-and-search operation along the Lekki-Epe Expressway area of the state.

The command’s spokesperson, Abimbola Adebisi, in a statement on Friday, stated that the suspect was also caught with two locally made pistols and other suspected stolen items.

According to her, the suspect was travelling in an unregistered commercial shuttle bus with five other occupants when officers intercepted the vehicle during a routine operation.

“Operatives of the Lagos State Police Command, while conducting a routine stop-and-search operation along the Lekki-Epe Expressway, intercepted an unregistered commercial shuttle bus conveying six occupants and arrested one male occupant found in possession of a suspected human body part, firearms, and other stolen items.

“During a search of the vehicle and its occupants, the suspect, identified as Samson Onilewaji, ‘m ’, aged 21 years, was found in possession of a suspected human right hand, two locally made pistols, one live cartridge, two axes, one POS terminal machine, and five ATM cards,” the statement partly read.

Adebisi further stated that the suspect confessed to recently robbing three persons of their belongings, including the recovered POS terminal and ATM cards.

She added that investigations were ongoing to determine the identity of the owner of the suspected human hand, how the suspect came into possession of it and its intended use.

The police image maker also noted that efforts were being intensified to identify and apprehend other criminal associates connected with the suspect.

“The suspect will be charged to court upon the conclusion of the investigation. The Commissioner of Police, Lagos State Command, CP Tijani Olaiwola Fatai, psc, mnips, assures Lagos residents of the Command’s unwavering commitment to combating violent crime and other criminal activities. He urges members of the public to remain vigilant and continue supporting the Police with timely and credible information that will aid crime prevention and enhance public safety,” the statement concluded.

The Ogun state police command says three suspects have been arrested in connection with the murder of veteran broadcaster Olakitan Oyesiku and her security guard, Pelumi Adetayo.

Bode Ojajuni, commissioner of police in Ogun, announced the arrests on Thursday at the command headquarters in Eleweran, Abeokuta, the state capital.

Ojajuni said the breakthrough followed intelligence-led investigations, technical tracking of Oyesiku’s missing Lexus RX 330 SUV, and forensic analysis of a handwritten note recovered from the crime scene.

The police commissioner said the incident was reported on June 21 after neighbours noticed suspicious activity at Oyesiku’s residence.

According to him, officers who responded to the report found Adetayo’s body in the security house and Oyesiku’s body in the living room.

He added that the front door appeared to have been forced open, while the victim’s vehicle was missing.

Ojajuni said detectives recovered the stolen Lexus on June 22 in the Onikolobo area of Abeokuta.

While noting that the vehicle’s number plates had been removed and the ignition key was missing.

However, one of the registration plates was found hidden under a seat, helping investigators confirm ownership.

The police commissioner identified the principal suspect as Sodeinde Olajuwon Philip, 22, who, according to him, was arrested on June 24 at a construction site in Ibara GRA, Abeokuta.

He said subsequent operations led to the arrest of Sakirudeen Abdulraheem Ayoola, 27, and Sobu Obafunsho, 36.

Ojajuni said Philip confessed to recruiting the other suspects and planning the attack over a personal grievance stemming from his previous employment as a security guard at Oyesiku’s residence.

He alleged that the suspects attacked Adetayo to gain access to the house before killing both victims and fleeing with Oyesiku’s Lexus SUV.

He added that operatives recovered a broken hammer, a cutlass, a plank and other items believed to be connected to the crime.

Ojajuni said investigations are ongoing and assured that all those linked to the incident would be prosecuted.

“The Command remains committed to ensuring that justice is served and that all persons connected with this heinous crime are brought to book,” he said.

VIDEO: Katsina Govt Paid N10Million Each To Send Bandit Leaders On Hajj, Security Advocate Alleges

Dr. Bashir Kurfi, Convener of the Katsina Community Security Initiative, has alleged that the Katsina State Government sponsored some notorious bandit leaders to perform the Muslim pilgrimage in Saudi Arabia, paying as much as N10 million for each individual.

Kurfi made the allegation during a recent interview on Trust TV’s live podcast monitored by SaharaReporters on Wednesday while discussing insecurity, government engagement with armed groups and efforts to tackle banditry in Nigeria’s North-West region.

He alleged that several bandit leaders have maintained direct contact with government officials, stating that some of them have even participated in meetings and negotiations with authorities despite being linked to violent attacks across the region.

Speaking during the interview, Kurfi cited the example of a bandit leader identified as Audu Lankai, whom he described as one of the most prominent criminal figures operating in Katsina and neighbouring areas.

“Audu Lankai is one of the biggest bandits. The government meets with him. The government sits with him. Government allows committees to go and sit and do these kinds of things with them,” Kurfi said.

He further claimed that authorities are aware of the identities, family backgrounds and locations of several bandit leaders.

“They are not in the bush or in the rocks. They are staying in places people know. Everybody knows them. Their parents are alive. People know where they come from,” he said.

Kurfi also cited another bandit leader identified as Mohammed, alleging that he continued to hold discussions with government officials even after being linked to high-profile criminal activities.

He claimed that some government representatives reportedly regarded Mohammed as a figure they could engage with, believing he had the influence to shape the actions of other armed groups.

However, the most controversial claim during the interview was his allegation that some notorious bandit leaders were sponsored by the Katsina State Government to perform Hajj in Saudi Arabia.

“In Katsina, it is alleged that the government paid about N10 million for each bandit to go to Saudi Arabia for Hajj,” Kurfi said.

When the interviewer pointed out that he was making a serious allegation and asked whether he had evidence to support it, Kurfi acknowledged that it was an allegation but maintained that several bandit leaders had been seen in Saudi Arabia during the pilgrimage.

“Let them say that some of these big bandits like Manuri and this guy around the Ranka area were not in Saudi Arabia. Many of them were there. I don’t know whether they are back,” he said.

Asked whether the alleged sponsorship was part of efforts to encourage the bandits to embrace peace and abandon violence, Kurfi dismissed the suggestion.

“No, maybe to ridicule the religion,” he said.

“How can you be a murderer if you don’t have any faith? Then they take you to Mecca and call you an Alhaji. They allow you to fly from a Nigerian airport and come back through a Nigerian airport. These are people who not only kill civilians, but they also kill military personnel.”

Kurfi also used the interview to advocate for community-based security structures, arguing that local vigilante groups and security volunteers should be drawn from the communities they serve because residents are better positioned to identify suspicious individuals and criminal elements.

His allegations come amid continuing concerns over the use of negotiations, amnesty arrangements and non-kinetic approaches by some northern states in addressing banditry and kidnapping.

Where in my quote have I dismissed the mother's grievances? Are the shekels blocking your eyes?

You are a known propagandist, and most of the post you push to FP regarding crimes committed by Muslims always ends with your dropping a subtle or even outright islamophobic remark, so every post your make with similar inclination will be perceived from the lens of islamophobia and not concern.

Take for example the nonsense your did in one of your recent thread, bandits who don't even claim any idealogy to begin with, kidnaps, rape women and you blame Islam for it, even though there's no where this crime is allowed, I showed you from your own Bible how rape is permitted, you didn't respond.

Bold of you to point the "muh low self esteem" finger when you have the Jewish phallus deep in your throat, worse if you're not getting paid.

people who say your Jesus is boiling in excreta in hellfire, call his mother the w word, yet you show hatred to us Muslims who dignify them? 😂.
BTW according to the Torah (in Rabbi yosef mizrachi voice), you're an idol worshiper and you should be killed because you make God angry

A man in northern Nigeria has been sentenced to two weeks in prison after neighbours complained that he was storing bags of human faeces outside his home, which they said made life unbearable.

Mohammed Saidu was taken to court in the city of Kano after residents reported the foul smell to environmental officials.

Magistrate Halima Wali ordered that he be detained for 14 days and fined 100,000 naira (£55; $74). She described his actions as highly inconsiderate and a threat to his neighbours' health.

Saidu, whose job is to empty sceptic tanks, is believed to have been selling the faeces to farmers to use as fertiliser - a common practice in the region, but which is rarely publicly acknowledged.

"I think he had close to 50 bags of faeces the first time the complaint reached me," local chief Musa Abdullahi told the BBC.

Neighbours said the stench from the property had become so overwhelming that it was impossible to relax at home.

One of those who complained, Samaila Inuwa, told the BBC that they had initially tried to resolve the matter privately.

"We spoke to him about it but he didn't stop," Inuwa said.

In court, Saidu pleaded guilty to the charge of endangering public health.

Before delivering her ruling, Magistrate Wali visited the property to see the bags of faeces for herself.

She ordered Saidu to clear all the waste from the premises and promise never to repeat the offence.

Inuwa said life had already improved for residents since the case was brought to court.

"Finally, our neighbourhood is enjoyable once more without any bad smell," he said.

The local chief said he had intervened when Saidu started storing the waste.

"When he first started it, I spoke to him about it and he packed them out [removed them] and stopped," he said. "I did not know when he resumed."

He added that neighbours had chosen to bypass him this time and go directly to the authorities.

Abdullahi said his own home was far enough away that he had not been affected by the smell, but he understood the residents' frustration.

[b]"My mission is for everybody in this area to live in peace," he said. "When he is released, we will talk to him and the neighbours again."
