Nigerian Constitution Allows Muslims In South-West States To Set Up Shariah s — Sultan-led JNI

The Jama’atu Nasril Islam (JNI) has stated that the Nigerian Constitution allows the establishment of Sharia s in southwestern region of the country.

JNI, being led by the Sultan of Sokoto, Muhammad Sa'ad Abubakar, noted that Section 275 of the 1999 Constitution grants states the authority to establish Sharia courts, and by extension, Shariah s.

The group argued that this provision enables Muslims in the Southwest to set up such s, which would handle civil cases involving Muslims.

This was stated in a press statement issued by JNI Secretary General, Professor Khalid Abubakar Aliyu, in a statement in Kaduna State.

The group said: “The undue resistance, inflammatory rhetoric, and outright distortion of facts by certain groups opposing these s are deeply concerning and least expected from a people that claim to be tolerant.

“The 1999 Constitution of Nigeria (as amended) guarantees the religious freedoms of all citizens, including Muslims. Specifically, sections 38 and 275-279 provide for the establishment and operation of Shari’a courts for civil matters where applicable."

Professor Khalid said the Sharia arbitration s “do not infringe on the rights of non-Muslims but merely offer a voluntary alternative dispute resolution mechanism for Muslims who choose to settle personal matters such as marriage, inheritance, and family disputes according to Islamic law.

“For the discerning mind, Islam has very interesting and enriching inheritance codes that have remained inalienable to Muslims’ lives. It is, therefore, mischievous and deceptive to suggest that these s aim to ‘impose’ Shari’a on non-Muslims.

“The s are strictly for Muslims, adjudicating only cases where both parties consent, a practice that exists in various pluralistic societies worldwide.”

He recalled that Shari’a adjudication is not new to the South West, adding, “Historically, Yoruba Muslims have settled civil disputes through customary Islamic mechanisms, predating colonial rule, and even under British rule, Native Courts recognised Shari’a-based adjudication in predominantly Muslim communities.”

He called on those leading the campaign of misinformation to stop the misrepresentation, unwarranted hostility and distortion of empirical facts by instilling fear in the populace against Shari’a s to desist from their divisive agenda.

this authority was bequeathed to states. Who now acts in behalf of the 'states'?
This is an ambiguity please explain further

Yowaaaaahh

I said this before,and I will say it again.That their must be Sharia court in south West.Its just a matter of time.So,you all can go and fvck yourself for now

These guys have never come out to attack boko bandits killing people and attaching the name of Allah to their menace ooo

But see them acting all woke now

Everyday ing by, Nigeria case just dey comot for wetin normal face fit resolve

There are some Yoruba familys with both christians and Muslims, like tinubu he is a Muslim his wife is a Christian, how will shari'a law settle disputes in such families?

Nobody in the southwest can stop the Sharia even the so-called state governor can't stop it talk less nuisance on social media that speaks against It

If you call yourself Omoluabi and go against the rights of Muslims in the South West, you are intolerant of Omoluabi. I have one message for those intolerant Omoluabi: when the shariàl is inaugurated in all Southeast states, you can relocate to the iPod region.


Edited
For those of you who mentioned me, everybody knows Yoruba are cowards, they will just foam in their mouths without doing anything,
You people have been shouting about Ilorin, but you can't do anything; you can only cheat beating on social media. Where is your Oga, the Lord and Savior "Igboho"? Where is he now? He ran away. Where were all your OPCs when Obasanjo was the president of this country? I when the OPC was boasting that they would conquer Ilorin from Fulani, what was the outcome today. I will still continue to say that nobody will stop the Sharia

Once the Sharia is granted next is southwest muslims will demand as their right they want to be gorverned by sharia law and with that comes hisba police that will enforce islamic laws and start destroying ogogoro in Yoruba land.

Is this the problem of Nigeria today?

This is a mere distraction in the midst of the catastrophic failure of this istration?

Idiotic Muslims, the same constitution upholds the sanctity of human life but you uses Sharia judgment on Christians in the North and killing them under the guise of Blasphemy.

Did the constitution permit Muslims to kill Christians in the name of blasphemy?

I see Yoruba Muslims winning this war against Yoruba Christians.

He is right and it must be implemented whether you like it or not, who is going to stop the sultan?

Seconded.
Live and let live.

What about Muslims in Anambra state? Maybe, because they're not yet up to 20% of the population. We know the plan of Islam, it is to cause mayhem everywhere they reach 30 percent of the population.
We have warned that Muslims in South East and South South are fifth columnists. We must strongly reject any Islamic body in South East and South South.

To hell with your useless sharia law don’t just disturb yourself that nonsense law can’t work in Yoruba land coz we are civilized, exposed and educated…. And we have a great heritage. Our Yoruba heritage and tradition was the majority reason that took Yoruba to a greater place and position of life today not your useless so call sharia law. So wake up…

Oga it is the yoruba muslims who are against Shari'a in the south west and not the Christians.
For example,these excess yoruba people here attacking the Igbos and Peter Obi day and night are all muslims and all of them are against the Shari'a

Only criminals, fake Muslims, intolerant Christians and dullards are against Shari'ah that has been existing in Yorubaland since 1999

If all those attacking Igbos and Obi here are Yoruba Muslims, where are Yoruba Christians?

A sultan or whatever you call it is not bigger than the Yoruba Race, he is a small fly that breeze will soon blow inside fire.

When isese is allowed in Ilorin then we can have a conversation
You're not even Yoruba so what's your business with SW

If Naija constitution granted states the authority to allow the existence of such or court, and same states said no to it's establishment, why then is noise about it's rejection by the states?
