Sharia Council Drags Mark, Bankole, Nhrc To Court For Invading Senator Yerima's by naijadoll1: 12:46am On Jun 05, 2010 |
http://lindaikeji..com/2010/06/sharia-council-drags-mark-bankole-nhrc.html According to reports in the news, there's a group called the Registered Trustees of Supreme Council for Sharia in Nigeria and they have dragged the heads of the two chambers of the National Assembly, and the National Human Right Commission (NHRC) to an Abuja High Court. You know why? Because they support the marriage of Senator Ahmed Yerima to a 13 year old girl. The Sharia Council, wants the court to declare that the actions of the Senate President, Senator David Mark, the Speaker of the Reps, Dimeji Bankole and the NHCR in probing Yerima’s marriage to the Egyptian minor, amounts to an infringement and invasion of the Senators right to his family privacy and his right to practice, propagate and manifest the doctrine of his religion as enshrined in section 37 and 38 of the Nigerian Constitution. They also want the three defendants to determine before the court within 8 days, “whether by the virtue of section 1 (3) of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (CFRN), which asserts its supremacy and the binding force on all authorities, any law that is inconsistent with any of its provision ought not be declare null and void to the extend of such inconsistency". The Ulamas also want the defendants to show whether by virtue of section 37 of the 1999 Constitution, every Nigerian citizen is not entitled to enjoy and protect his private and family life without any let or hindrance or interference from any person. The Sharia Supreme Council, then wants the Court to order a perpetual injunction restraining defendants, their agents or privies howsoever from taking any further step or action in relation to the subject matter, until the determination of the case. The case is coming up for hearing 8th of June. *** News source: Vanguard Newspapers The question is, why is any court even attending to this matter? She's freaking 13 years old for goodness sake. What do you want with someone so young? Why not wait for her to grow up, please? It's hard enough to have sex as an adult, a child can't be ready for that! Can someone please help this child? |
