GOVERNORS of states in the South West have been called upon to prioritise the introduction of Shariah court in the zone for a better and crime-free society

A Khadi of the Kwara State Shariah Court of Appeal, Justice Abdurraheem Ahmad Sayi, made the call while speaking at the annual pre-Rammadan lecture of the Muslim community of the Federal Site and Services, Isheri-Olofin, Idimu, Lagos, with the theme ‘Examining the Islamic Will in the Context of Contemporary Legal Challenges’.

The jurist, who is also the Chief Imam of Silver Point Central Mosque, Badore, Ajah, Lagos, argued that states operating the Shariah legal system enjoyed freedom from wrongdoing and crime

“It is important we all put our personal and political interests aside and embrace a system that guarantees an orderly society that everyone would be proud of,” he said.

According to Justice Sayi, things that the Shariah Court stands against are injustice, crime, sexual immorality, corruption, terrorism, domestic violence, cyber crime, among others.

“Any society that takes this as priority is bound to be great and safe for all, irrespective of religious and other differences,” Justice Sayi said.

In another lecture, a legal practitioner, Mr Shakirullah Obale, charged Nigerians to prevent crises from erupting in their homes after their demise.

Obale said it was important for Muslims and other Nigerians to put premium on making a will for unity among their family members during and after their lifetime.

He noted that many families take the issue of will for granted whereas “it is one of the important affairs of our existence as human beings.”

Obale stated that the law of inheritance is very clear about the issue of will in order to avoid controversies upon the death of a person, pointing out that sharing formulas change daily and, therefore, the need to make projections against unforeseen situations.

“It is important to review your will at intervals because it is sacrosanct that even sharing formulas change every day and you must project unplanned circumstances like death of child or unplanned babies and wives after earlier documented will,” he said.

He stressed that in many families, after the demise of the owner of properties, little corrections of the will become serious issues which most times lead to disarray in family which ultimately affects the society.

Obale implored Muslims to prepare for the holy month of Ramadan which is around the corner and thanked members of the Muslim community of the Federal Site and Services, Isheri-Olofin, for organising the programme to refresh their minds.

I know that governors of the southwest states are well informed people and will not heed to this call to establish any barbaric sharia law in the region.

The Nigerian civil law is enough to curtail whatever crime while upholding the dignity of human beings.

Ok

The only shariah law the SW want is cutting off the left hand of drug peddlers after found guilty. Others should stay in the north.

This will possibly happen...... But they should divide the country first, before they'd islamise the West into their coven....

that man is seriously sick, so pls take him to psychiatric hospital fast.
imagine somebody talking as if Nigeria belong only to the muslims.the same shit u people tried in Kwara on the issue of hijab and now u want to impose sharia on south west! why muslims are like this always drum for war.

On whose tab?
Bunch of jokers, the states are struggling financially and you want them to divert resources to establish a religious court.

who can help me with that bus pic for eradication of western values and establishing of sharia spotted in ibadan

Lol.

Be like say Khadi just finished smoking Igbo.

Ok

E no go better for d person wey talk am

We yoruba muslims need Shariah law here in Southwest.

Northern muslims are not more muslim than us.

How far lionshare ?

I thought you said Southwest is the capital of Christianity?

Did I not tell you that your region has been conquered?

Or how dare a Grand Kadi suggest Sharia Law for the whole of Southwest? Imagine the effrontery.

Who dare say that about Southeast? Them never born the idiot that will think of thinking it sef not to talk saying it.

I expect MURIC to go hysterical in re-echoeing this statement while your coward governors will hurriedly prepare bills establishing Sharia law to your State Assemblies.

Sorry Southwest.

We warned you!

Won’t be long ...

Emir .... loading.

Yes sir, we need sharia court in South west, we need to capture the southwest and totally islamize that region. We know it's possible but it will take time.
We are your humble slaves.

that's part of the mission of the Fulani terrorist leaders in Nigeria, including Atiku. They will eventually achieve their plans if we don't break up.

Its just a matter of blackmailing the governors by attempting to expose their corrupt actions and they will have no option but to sign Sharia Acts in their state. una go see am e go happen soon.

The manner some people lie so effortlessly is mind-boggling. How can someone inside the current Nigeria open his buccal orifice to say that states who adopted sharia courts are the most peaceful in Nigeria? This same person claims to be an Islamic cleric. I wonder how sane people from the SW will respond to his call.

The first question to the slowpoke should be how has Sharia helped in reducing crime in the northern states following the cave man law?

This is indeed a sad news for Yorùbá Christians

A friendly reminder that Yorùbaland now has only 2 governors out of 7 states, later they'll be ringing in our ears that Muslims are intolerant and they Yorùbá Christians are the good

Those advocating Sharia courts should stand accused before the courts in the North for bribery, corruption, banditry instead of just the Talikawa.

But in the West, there are customary courts already that take care of crimes without religious or ethnic leaning.

What about the headhunters?

Hypocrisy of the highest order. Northern Nigeria where it is being practised, how has it reduce corruption? Does it stop politicians from stealing public fund?
