The Independent Shari’ah Arbitration in Ekiti State has held its first public sitting at the popular Oja Oba Central Mosque, Ado-Ekiti.

This was confirmed to SaharaReporters by residents of the state and Prof. Ishaq Akintola, the Executive Director of the Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC), an Islamic human rights organisation, stating that the inaugural sitting of the Shariah was held last Thursday.

SaharaReporters learned further that the was presided over by three Kadhis Imam Abdullahi Abdul-Mutolib, Imam Abdulraheem Junaid-Bamigbola, and Dr. Ibrahim Aminullahi-Ogunrinde who entertained two marriage-related disputes.

During the first trial, the head of the , Imam Abdullahi Abdul-Mutolib, announced that the dispute between the couple was resolved through a consent judgment.

This resolution was facilitated by earlier interventions from family , which paved the way for a peaceful settlement.

But the adjourned the second trial till January 30 for a continuation hearing. The case involved allegations by a wife accusing her husband of neglecting his marital responsibility.

The explained that the adjournment would allow additional investigations to ensure a fair decision.

The sitting of the came amid a series of opposition from groups against the implementation of Sharia law in the southwestern region of Nigeria.

One of the groups is the United Kingdom (UK) and Europe branch of Yoruba socio-cultural group, Afenifere, otherwise known as UK Afenifere.

The group strongly rejected the clamour by some Muslims for the establishment of Sharia law in the South-West region.

The group cautioned those clamouring for the establishment of Sharia law in the South-West to immediately desist from such acts to avoid disunity amongst the Yoruba people.

The group said Yoruba people are too intelligent and enlightened to be gaslighted along religious divides.

The group added that the predominantly Yoruba South-West is distinct from the Northern region where Muslims are in the majority.

We are in a democracy, people should be allowed to do their thing as long as they don't hurt or force others.

That's the joy of democracy.

If Sharia drives all of these Chest beaters away from our land, it is preferable to have Sharia than to share our God-given land with those who do not suppose to be with us....we have always have the muslims , Hausa / Fulani around us without no problem not until those from the south came to us in Yoruba land.....and become delusional in our territory
Selling counterfeit products and kidnapping were brought to the territory.

Thank you Governor Oyebanji for approving this. It shows you a true Nigerian. Sharia law is here to stay

Cowards... Nnamdi Kanu warned them.

They have Islamized Yorubaland without firing a single shot.

The

God bless Sharia law courts in Yoruba land.

We the yorubaaas are very happy and pleased with this development

😂 Sharia in the West Judaism in the East. 2+2 =4

But na una dey cry ...talk about obsession

I hope the islamization drive you out of SW completely or even curb your excesses in the region. Thats the goal

Just read through and all Imams are Yoruba themselves. Wailers are allowed to gnash their teeth

I don't care. It has nothing to do with me

Trouble looming

Nice one 👍.

Sharia , a true justice from God .

Terrorists will soon invade Ekiti state with this their Shari'a court tactics.

The peaceful Ekiti state will now become something else in few years.

E good like that.
Na Aftermath of the Sharia go determine. I hope say, the same thing happening in the north would not happen in SW. Before they would say it was igbos that teamed up with Fulani to bring the Sharia court to them, unto say, Igbos na Muslim majority group. Make una enjoy am while it lasts.

People way no sabi anything. Everything to them must be Igbos vs Yoruba war. Those igbos no even send una, them no even care if Una day exist sef, na the people Una day yare for, I laugh. Enjoy the Sharia while it lasts sha, that's all I'd say.

Sharia has come to stay in south west and there is nothing anybody can do about it.I find it distasteful that a yoruba Muslim lady will publicly be drinking alcohol,smoking cheap drugs and hanging out publicly in brothels while also putting on hijab.
MURIC headed by prof.Akintola wants to put an end to this hypocritical muslims and has set out to deal with them.As long as the Sharia starts and ends with Yoruba muslims,we care not.The level of criminality,human rituals and thuggery in the south west,may need sharia system of amputation to stop it.

E don start

We don't want this people on our turf oooo

My own is that if they meddle with Traditionalist worship or transactions, they should be beaten beyond recognition. They have said Sharia is strictly the business of Muslims and secular arbitration will not be examined in Sharia courts but if they should start protesting against Isese people practicing their business, the Islamist should be beaten to a stupor.

Allahu akbar

So how many limbs were cut off and how many adulterers were stoned at the end of the

If not, these are fake Muslims practicing fake Sharia

Jihad is still required to entrench a pure and unadulterated Islam over SW

Meanwhile Ekiti is 95% Christian population o

Yet these Islamists carry their turban go there because they know how peaceful Christians are

Make dem continue

All praises are due to Allah, Lord of the worlds.

They should do the work of God and leave the work of judgement to the courts.
We reject this in the SW and it seems the gov Mr Oyebanji is sleeping.

Your brain is made of Akamu (pap)

The foolish islamic faithfuls they brainwashed by settle dispute for them, when the Sharia finally gain ground ( if it would ever be). They would all regret starting journey towards self enslavement.
