The Oyo State government has announced plans to legally challenge the establishment of a Sharia in Oyo town, declaring it unconstitutional.

Governor Seyi Makinde’s istration insists that only the state or federal government has the authority to establish judicial bodies.

The Governor’s Chief Press Secretary, Dr. Sulaimon Olanrewaju, confirmed the government’s stance in response to inquiries about the , which has already begun sittings at the Central Mosque in Akesan, Oyo.

"The governor was clear from the outset: if it’s a constitutional matter, we must refer to the Constitution. Does it permit the establishment of a Sharia or court? If proponents claim it does, we will test it in court. We believe it doesn’t,” Olanrewaju stated.

He emphasised that only recognized state or federal institutions can legally set up judicial s.

“A that adjudicates on people’s affairs must have state backing. Otherwise, it’s illegal,” he said.

Dr. Rafiu Bello, Chairman of the Sharia Committee of Oyo Land, confirmed that the is operational, holding sessions every Thursday to address marital disputes, inheritance issues, and land conflicts.

Nigerian law permits Sharia, and our is open to all, though designed for Muslims who voluntarily seek resolution under Islamic law,” Bello said.

He noted that similar s already function in Ogbomoso, Kisi, Saki, and Ibadan.

The Supreme Council for Shari’ah in Nigeria had initially suspended the ’s inauguration in January following public outcry.

However, Bello stated that proceedings have now begun discreetly.

Reacting to the development, the Chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) in Oyo State, Rev. Joshua Akinyemiju, expressed surprise, claiming no knowledge of the ’s operations.

“I knew they planned this earlier, but after protests, it was postponed indefinitely. If they’ve proceeded secretly, we will investigate,” he said.

It's a constitutional matter which the Supreme court will have to settle once and for all. Government alone reserves the right to constitute courts if we are to go by the constitution.

Makinde should not waste Oyo government money.
There is no law against setting up a private .

A is different from a court which requires government power to setup.

Anyway, are the Sharia s part of the dividends of the MU-MU ticket you desperately campaigned for ?

Are the Sharia s scattered all over the region the reason you claimed that Bobo Chicago is the best African unpresident ?
