Sharia Court Finally Stops Online Amputation Chat From Imam Imam in Kaduna, 03.31.2010 A Sharia Court sitting in Kaduna has ordered the immediate suspension of all debates on the amputation of Bello Buba Jangebe on online sites - Facebook and Twitter. The judge had a few weeks ago issued a restraining order in favour of the applicants to prevent a non-governmental organisation (NGO), the Civil Rights Congress (CRC) (defendants), from discussing Jangebe’s case in a forum opened by the group on Facebook and Twitter. At the resumed hearing of the case instituted by the Muslim Brotherhood of Nigeria (MUBOAN) yesterday, the prosecuting counsel Mustafa Saidu prayed the court to bar the NGO from freely talking about the case online. In a ruling that lasted about three minutes, the presiding judge, Mallam Ibrahim Lawal, said the defendants being Muslims have no right under the law to question or review any judgment given by the Sharia Court. Doing so, he argued, is tantamount to questioning the laws of Allah. “An order is hereby given restraining the respondents (CRC) either by themselves or their agents from opening a chat forum on Facebook, Twitter, or any blog for the purpose of the debate on the amputation of Mallam Buba Bello Jangebe,” the judge said. Saidu said the entire discussion was started to spite Islam and insult the provision of Sharia law. He said the defendants being Muslims have no right under the law to question or review any judgment given by the Sharia Court. Doing so, he argued, is tantamount to questioning the laws of Allah. He said allowing the defendants to continue operating the chat room would lead to chaos and possible breakdown of law and order. The defence counsel Aliyu Shariff urged the judge to dismiss the case. He quoted section 39 of the 1999 Constitution which he said guarantees freedom of expression. “Stopping my clients from continuing with their activities will deny them their right to air an opinion,” said Shariff. He said constitutional provisions and various judicial pronouncements have clearly stated that where any law of the country is in conflict with a constitutional provision, the constitution takes precedence. He vowed to appeal. The judge, however, disagreed with him. Reading the ruling in Hausa language “for clear understanding”, the judge said God's laws are divine and should not be subjected to another interpretation by humans. The judge held that continuing with the debate would continue to make mockery of Islam and all it stands for. “The Rasul (SAW) said you should at all time say good, or keep quiet. In this instance, I fully support and therefore grant all the prayers of the appellants,” he said. In his reaction to the judgment, President of CRC Shehu Sani said the ruling is a setback to constitutional democracy. He expressed confidence that the ruling would be set aside on appeal. To show solidarity to the defendants, some youths wore T-shirts urging the judge not to tamper with their rights to freely communicate on Facebook and Twitter. Some weeks back, Justice Lawal Muhammed of Magajin Gari Sharia Court in Kaduna ordered the networking sites to stop discussions on Jangebe until the determination of the suit instituted by MUBOAN. The online forum was launched by the CRC to discuss the amputation and Sharia in general. The judge's order was the first of its kind in Nigeria. Jangebe was the first Nigerian to have his right wrist amputated in Zamfara State. A year after, 12 states in the Northern part of the country signed the Islamic penal code into law. Today's ruling is the final at the Magajin Gari Sharia Court. Culled from ThisDay Newspaper of 31.03.2010 They said Facebook and Twitters, so since Nairaland wasn't mentioned, won't it be safe to discuss it here? But ask me, how would this 'judgement' be enforced on these international sites? |

sistawoman: Thanks for the advise. tope2000: Guess she must have been doing random calling (flashing). Though she said she thought it belonged to her boyfriend. Later she started asking for my details. Later learnt she runs a restaurant and all that. She said so many things and wanted me to travel to where she was so that we could 'connect'. |

Do you know that sometimes women/men call randomly with the aim of getting a date by chance? A number kept trying my line and when I finally put a call through, not only did I not know the lady, she also did not know me. She does not even live in the same city as I, yet she was soooo suggestive. She ended up inviting me to come visit. She also said that she would like to know me better and so on. Could this be some new style in seeking a date? |

In a free world and in the midst of so much liberty, why wouldn't people let me be? It is either "he is stalking"; "he is faking"; "he is pretending"; "he's not real" or "Get a life!"; "leave her alone"; "who the f-ck is this?" or Outright insult. Please note: I am Mr[b]Sister[/b]wm; can't people do spelling check and note the difference? Moreover, how many NLders have their baptismal name as their profile names? So if your name is a creative representation of yourself, can't mine be? I intend to visit whatsoever thread I decide to, contribute within stipulated rules and going forward, I will first report an insultive person to the moderator and the next moment I will unleash reprisal vituperation. I have spoken. |
