Accordingly, he would be tried under the appropriate state edict as a non Muslim but not under sharia law.
Sharia law will always by default apply to Muslims only, however, in event of a dispute between a Muslim and a non Muslim the latter is at liberty to elect for the case to be judged by Sharia - if he feels he will get better justice.
In other words, if for example a Muslim and a Christian have issues, the Christian is free to sue the Muslim to either Sharia or general penal courts, which ever suits him; but the reverse is not the case because Sharia is deemed non binding to the non believer.
Non Muslims really have no cause to be afraid of Sharia in the North; although this does mean that, like all legal systems (especially in Nigeria) Sharia is free from corruption, misinterpretation or misapplication in the hands of the overzealous few - hence, there would also be its innocent victims.

^^^^I laugh in Hausa and Fulani at the same time he he he he he
What does mentality (so called born to rule, Usman Dan Fodio & Ahmadu Bello of blessed memories) have to do with the interpretation and implementation of our constitution and promulgation of local laws at state level?

@Poster:
Unfortunately, you ppl seem to believe in your much exaggerated superiority over the much underrated stereotyped gworo chewing almajiri aboki.
No be una say aboki no school, him dey now show una. No be una say aboki no sabi rule, e come carry OBJ from jail and also put GEJ for Aso Rock - so una go see with una kurukuru eye, say una own worwor pass aboki and that the so called born to rule mentality is only a myth - since aboki has shown he can voluntarily relinquish power to the south.
Make una continue living in una delusion of grandeur ooh, na una sabi, aboki marches on whistling in Hausa, Fulani, Arabic- all rolled in one

^^^^^True dat, and also GEJ is equally guilty and a collaborator of Boko Haram for aiding and abetting them by deliberately not taking action even against the weight of overwhelming evidence such as the baseless and shameless propaganda being circulated above.

^^^^^Let them continue exposing themselves with their spamming propaganda. They will eventually lose credibility and nobody will believe them even when they are speaking the truth. Already, their tactics of playing the victims card has been overplayed and losing its effect. Shameless bigots, they must lie and cheat in everything.

From the responses so far one can easily see a great deal of ignorance and lack of reasoning on the part of many respondents.

Putting sentiments aside: Kano State like any other state in Nigeria is equipped by the constitution to make and pass legitimate laws (including the much dreaded and least understood Sharia law)in the best interest of its citizens; believe me if any of this was unconstitutional, it would have been successfully challenged in the courts of law - especially by CAN, who seem hell bent against it.

Be that as it may, Kano State, like some states in the USA during the era of prohibition, decided to ban the sale and consumption of alcohol, as way a of reducing immorality in the state; in the same way some states e.g. decided to ban okada for security reasons, the FG banning of indian hemp and other illicit drugs for similar reasons etc.

If we agree that the state (Kano) has a legitimate right to pass such law then why should some people take it upon themselves to flaunt the law, knowing fully well that the state would be compelled to take full action against them. Why then would some people, due to their different culture and geographical origin, feel they are above the law - and be the ones playing victims here?
Even when it comes to implementation, the state had been very lenient by generally turning a blind eye to vastly southern/Christian Sabon Gari area, notwithstanding that the law on alcohol is non exclusive - so who is in the wrong here?

Yep, I know for real he had a daughter with a Shuwa/Arab (Maiduguri) woman, if you see de pickin (now in her late 40's) nobody has to tell you say na carbon copy face of de Ikemba she carry. The daughter (a divorcee) still resides with the mother in Kaduna and is a good fortune teller.
Could have given more details but there is no point in embarrassing the family. Shocking isn't it

^^^^^So you are now disowning your own culture and tradition, too disgusting even for you to accept, ehn?
Well, I don't blame you, I am equally disgusted myself; but then again, you ppl can always hide behind your religion, since CANNIBALISM is at least symbolically an integral part of Christian ritual e.g. at the Last Supper, in the New Testament, Jesus gave his disciples bread to eat and told them it was his body and said the wine they were to drink was his blood. On another occasion, he explained: "Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood possesses eternal life. . . . Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood dwells continually in me and I dwell in him."

^^^^Then by that standard, you just failed NEC because I have just shown you the source of the story and even identified the person responsible for it; yet you still don't get it - typical Igbo mentality (so full of himself, thinking everybody is stupid; whereas in fact he is the real tolotolo, olodo, dolo )

@^^ Is the above not a contradiction? Is the statement above really true of the indigenes of Asaba? Please check your facts before making such uninformed and presumptuous statement. Why would a fleeing Hausa person run to Asaba to seek refuge amongst presumed violent and dangerous (Igbo) speaking people, if your statement above is ok? Is it?

No mind am, na so so e de display low IQ logic all over im posts; but just give am chance, e go quick talk say aboki no go school.

@ ExeUche and bashr8:
It is not about turning the other cheek or being pushed to wall, but the stance of igbos always (playing the victims card and) trying to claim the moral high ground of non violence.
How can you then reconcile your (above) positions with the teachings of Christianity or should we assume you are merely nominal Christians, or even jettison your faith? How also were the Hausas being attacked by your brothers in Onitsha responsible for the killing of the Igbo bus driver by the policeman? BTW, emerging information suggests that the policeman was not in fact Hausa or a Muslim but Tiv and a Christian; yet igbos were killing innocent Hausas for his crime.
The issue really is about Igbo double standards, where your ppls actions in this case proves Igbos are no better than the others they are criticizing.

bashr8:
those are your northern abok brothers from post election violence going to murder youth corpers, shameless animals.

As for your reference to animals; you really ought to know that all humans are indeed animals but some are more animals than others, however, who else is more deserving to be considered an animal other than the type that EATS his OWN kind, A CANNIBAL - need I say more, Mr animal CANNIBAL.

i really hate it when goats are quoting me. Mocking the dead, HUH!? Go and check the numerous posts your reetarded brothers made to insults our leaders in last the 2 hours alone.

You allow them to run amok like wild kids in a candy shops unrestricted and you are here displaying your expired victim card crying like a bitcch, abi? so, you are now understanding the the meaning of humility, abi? Until the last bigotry post is dropped, i shall continue to return every bit of insult with more superior ones. Even if you think  it's alright and refreshing when your pack of monkeys attack people unprovoked, but wrong when the heat is returned. It's ani't gonna work!!![/quote]Seconded, let them have it the way they've been dishing it, that's the only way they will eventually come to appreciate the need for mutual respect.

Yes, it is unfortunately true, see how the Igbos are attacking innocent Northerners as if they (Northerners) had anything to do with the crime of the policeman.

Two wrongs do not make a right. These Boko boys just do not know forgiveness, that is why we are now in an ever expanding vicious cycle; because just as they continue targeting and taking vengeance on the police so does their own casualty along with the innocent increase; and we are all ending up paying for it. God help us.

^^^^Look my friend; it seems you need to brush up on your comprehension, because you are certainly missing the point.

First of all, the topic is clearly about the alleged bomb explosion in an Igbo man's shop (DK Pharmacy) in Maiduguri, which you, your brothers on NL and the Southern dominated biased press conveniently chose to ignore.

Secondly, as for alleged denial/covert support for BH by the gov. and El Rufai respectively; well didn't Jonathon denied the Oct 1st bombing by MEND and tried to shift the blame to the North, even though MEND came out later to claim responsibility?

Thirdly, you are ignoring the fact, just as you and your cohorts are currently avoiding this very incidence, that there are already reports elsewhere of igbo/southern Christians attacking and burning churches to make it look as if done by Northern Hausa Fulani Muslims. Have you therefore, even for one second stopped to think about the implication this would have had against Northerners had this bomb not had exploded prematurely, exposing the culprits and their evil agenda, which you and similar bigots are still finding hard to grapple with? - after all, isn't that part of the southern grand plan towards separation of the country.

Fourthly, nobody claimed the JTF burnt the Igbo man's shop, but rather it was alleged they burnt the market (which you will note even BH had come out to deny any involvement with); so please if you happen to have any evidence to the contrary, kindly therefore forward it.

Fifthly, yes I indeed said I wished they (also) rot in hell; however what you failed to note was my use of the word also (intentionally now bracketed to serve as a reminder), inferring not just the Igbo culprits who blew themselves up but also inclusive of BH boys blowing innocent ppl - I made no distinction, or didn't you remember I had previously stated that by far the majority of BH victims were in fact Hausa-Fulani Muslims, then why should I or any normal thinking Hausa-Fulani sympathize with BH for killing his own ppl.

Finally, I am tempted to use the same logic that gave you reason to conclude that the average Hausa Fulani has tendency towards murder and terrorism; by similarly concluding that the average Igbo person has a tendency towards CANNIBALISM because it is ingrained in his/her DNA; but unlike you, I wouldn't because I should know better than to insult the generality of Igbo ppl for the sake of your insult along those from a small minority of bigots among them. However, should you decide to continue unabated then I should feel equally obliged to respond in the same kind - ppl living in a glass house shouldn't throw stones.

9ja voice:
you cannot see any pity in words of any hausa/fulani/kanuri man when thier evil brothers kill innocent citizens or destroy civilian properties.

you only see them showing pity to the boko boys rather than the victims, eg: el rufai, sanusi statements and bornu state governor compersation
to boko boys instead of thier victims.

You obviously are ignorant of the fact that by far majority of the victims killed by BH happen to be from the ethnic group you are accusing; now that you know differently, perhaps you may want to lead by example by at least showing some sympathy for all the victims. Pls, prove me wrong and show you are not a bigot.

9ja voice:
the hausa/fulanis are really upto something.

so they went on and burn down the shops of innocent igbo people.
they may want us to blv its boko boys action.

let me tell them what we blv in: we blv that average hausa/fulani/kanuri man is a boko haramite,
or have a terrorist tendency.

In response to the above highlighted (bold): Apparently not, since it would appear that some of your own ppl had converted and paid the ultimate price by having their fake arses blown to smithereens, hope they also rot in hell.

adamabdul:
It did happened the owner of the shop(dk pharmacy) and 2 of his employerz were killed check yesterday's dailytrust but contrary to speculation the market was not burnt down by the bomb.The market was burnt by JTF in the area

So Daily Trust carried the story, yet most of our seemingly well informed NLders happen not to have read about it, Wow! the silence is so deafening. You would have thought that a sensational story like this would have at least made the front page and more so attracted a lot of comments; but hardly any, likely because it does not fit the usual stereotyping and their obvious ethnic bigotry agenda.
Yep, selective journalism and information management at play, even at Nairaland.SMH.

Anyway, it seems to me there are real Boko Haram and fake Boko Harams out there wrecking havoc on Nigerians, no doubt some ppl are making money out of this.

@ yours above (in bold), it wouldn't surprise me if JTF's motive for setting the market on fire was to cover the evidence; how else would it look if another ethnic group was implicated - after all, only Hausa-Fulani so far know how to explode bomb and kill the innocent.

^^^^^^pls if you are sure of this, then you must give the details e.g. quote the newspaper etc; at the end of the day you must validate the story by linking it with a credible source for it to be believable.
If it is true, then for goodness sake don't give up, publicize it again an again, people need to know. Its important to expose the truth.

vladimiros:
When I see northerners on  NL attacking other regions I beging to wonder if this people know how slow they sound,

atleast and old man in my village can speak english, urs english "oga i no fit speak i no go to school" even the arabic you can't

I suppose you imagined the drivel you just wrote was correct English (beging, how slow they sound, english), I hope your brothers would come to your aid and correct your obvious mistakes, because left alone I think you'd be too dumb to know the difference. Ewu, wawa, banza, jaki

^^^^A matured and rational mind would always consider the information first and not just accept it on face value; in fact there is a name reserved for people like that, GULLIBLE, which I think suits you perfectly.
As for ode, well let others decide between you and me who is the real ode; and oh yes the stink, well thats not from my mouth, in fact you should know how it always stinks up whenever you uncross your legs. Shegiya Yar Iska

Corruption is the single enemy, all other problems are directly or indirectly related to it, extinguish it and Nigeria would be born again. More grease to your elbow Mr Preacher Man!

efisher:
Even the most educated "northern islamists" tend to lose all sense of reasoning when certain issues are discussed. I wonder why. Sanusi why? El-Rufai why? I just can't understand it.

icez:
Northern muslims are all the same.

noblezone:
its easy to understand!
These fellows see themselves as the first class citizens, the rest are fools. Take it or leave it, I'll trust a snake first before an Hausa/Fulani Moslem. Am not harbouring hate, just being careful.

Careful, your bigotry is showing. How did religion and ethnicity creep into the content of his conversation? He simply expressed an opinion or isn't he entitled that - if I may guess, because it doesn't agree with yours. SMH

Gun exchange also at Mariri, they are trying to round up some suspects who apparently were putting up fierce resistance.
Kano citizens now under siege, the curfew and multiple checkpoints so much curtails freedom of movement, just pray this kind of problem doesn't reach your area.

Don't dish out rumours, credible source pls

^^^^You are very stupid for above comments, though I am not surprised since you Southerners, like your Berom cousins are re-known for CANNIBALISM; more so seeing that it is also (symbolically) entrenched and central to the teachings of your bible.

In the New Testament, cannibalism is an integral part of Christian ritual. At the Last Supper, Jesus gave his disciples bread to eat and told them it was his body. And he said the wine they were to drink was his blood. On another occasion, he explained: "Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood possesses eternal life. . . . Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood dwells continually in me and I dwell in him."

Of course, your Old Testament is more explicit and direct about that, bloody cannibals

@frosbel
You are quick to disown Christians who behave badly as not true Christians though they themselves believe and parade as such; yet you would not allow the same standards when judging Muslims, when Muslims come out and disclaim some followers who obliviously were not acting according to Islam but only in name.

You are simply a bigot whose double standards is self evident by your posts and whose only preoccupation is to injure the religion of Islam and its followers.
