History


In 1999, Twelve Nigeria's states that have Sunni Islam as the dominant religion chose to have Sharia courts as well as Customary courts.[2]
The following states that have instituted Sharia are: Zamfara State (January 27, 2000), Kano State (June 21, 2000), Sokoto State, Katsina State, Bauchi State (June 2001), Borno State, Jigawa State, Kebbi State, Yobe State, Kaduna State, Niger State (May 4, 2000), and Gombe State.

Jurisdictional errors

The institution of Sharia as a main body of civil and criminal law violates the Constitution of Nigeria.


The Sharia Court of Appeals recognized as a federal court of appeals (the Unified Courts System), is the most controversial of the judicial system. The Sharia Court of Appeals reviews cases involving Sharia law, particularly in the North and Northeast regions of the country.

However, this has caused controversy because while the Sharia Court of Appeals interprets and reviews cases relating to Islamic law, they must also interpret the common and customary laws of the other regions of Nigeria.

In doing so, the Sharia Court exceeds its jurisdiction under the constitutional law which give federal and state governments various powers. It undermines the principles of separation of powers and the two level federal system of government in which an overarching national government governs issues that affect the entire country, and smaller subdivisions govern issues of local concern.


The Sharia Court going outside state powers and local confines is striking down federal law, on the grounds that it exceeded the Constitutional authority of National Assembly.

Rita Chinedu Ukeje V Sharia

Madam Jessy Ukeje, a 77-year-old grandmother from Eluoma Uzuakoli in Bende Local government area of Abia State, is in pains her granddaughter was given out in marriage by a top official of Zaria City Local Government area, without the consent of her family.Rita, an SS 3 student of Top Spring Secondary School, Zaria, Kaduna State, was abducted by a commercial bus driver, called Usman, who held her captive in his home, denying her the chance of sitting for the Senior School Certificate Examination (SSCE) she had enrolled for.

Few weeks later, she stated, the council chief, who took her to his home and promised to make her available for settlement with the family, allegedly gave her out in marriage to Usman. The incident happened in Damagaji area of Zaria in Kaduna State, even as every effort made by the family to rescue the teenage girl from the clutches of her abductors have met with stiff resistance from the kidnappers. They took her into captivity after undergoing their Muslim rituals of bathing and feeding her with concoction as a way of turning her into a Muslim.

Then, they gave her to somebody to marry without the consent and knowledge of her parents. This is certainly against religion and against tradition

Mama Jessy, who could not hold back tears while narrating the abduction of the girl in her house in Eluoma Uzuakoli, alleged further that the girl’s abductors are after Rita’s mother, Joy Ihedinma Ukeje, for insisting that Rita must be sent back to her. She alleged that they had been sending assassins to her, forcing her to quickly run back to Uzuakoli from Zaria after several attempts on her life.

Ifeoma Nichodemus v he Sharia Court Kaduna
IFEOMA, now Aisha, is the daughter of Mr. Ndubuisi Nichodemus. She was living with her parents, in the midst of the Hausa community in Zaria, Kaduna State, until May, 2014. On that fateful evening, Ifeoma had left the house in protest against the authority of her moth­er to question her for returning late to the house on the day. She simply walked out of her parents’ compound into a neighbour’s house, and since 21 months ago to be precise, the family is yet to set their eyes on her. Ifeoma, now 16, have been converted to Islam and married off. The Sharia Court handling the mat­ter keeps adjourning the case and as a result, we are still where we were last year”

Blasphemy and apostasy
A Sharia court may treat blasphemy as deserving of several punishments up to, and including, execution. In many predominantly Muslim states, conversion from Islam to another religion is illegal and often a capital offence.

In 2014 a Nigerian man, Mubarak Bala was forcibly committed to a psychiatric institution in Kano for eighteen days, where he was forcibly drugged after stating that he was an atheist. The International Humanist and Ethical Union took up the case, stating that Bala's human rights were violated.


Riots
There have been numerous riots over the implementation of sharia law, primarily involving non-Muslim minorities in the states which implemented the system. One such riot killed over 100 people in October 2001 in Kano State.


Executions

In 2002, the first execution of a man under Sharia took place in Katsina State; Human Rights Watch condemned the execution.



The Supreme Court Solution via Judicial Review

The Supreme Court uphold and declared Sharia Court to be ultra vires in a narrow or broad sense. Narrow ultra vires applies if an administrator did not have the substantive power to make a decision or it was wrought with procedural defects.

Broad ultra vires applies if there is an abuse of power (e.g.,unreasonableness or bad faith) or a failure to exercise an administrative discretion (e.g., acting at the behest of another or unlawfully applying a sectional policy) or application of discretionary powers in irrational and wrong way.[5] Either doctrine may entitle a claimant to various prerogative writs, equitable remedies or statutory orders if they are satisfied.

Kidnap is a very serious offence and when it is done for sexual gratification, it is a heinous crime. The Sharia court is a form of customary court to the North. In that sense, it has no jurisdiction to hear cases of people not part of that culture. It is like a Igbo customary court hearing the case of a Yoruba, claiming they have converted to Igbo.

Custom refers to origin and ancestral linage, if a person does not have their roots in islam then Sharia court has no grounds to hold or hear the case. The Sharia system was introduced for people who customarily have followed the religion of islam.

It is illegal and unconstitutional to steal peoples child and claim forced conversion to islam, as a bases to Ra.pe and forced marriage/ conversion to islam, without any form of consent. Whilst handing out death sentence to Muslim that desire to convert to Christianity freely without abduction or coercion.

How do you compare a forceful, the kidnap, conversion of a minor from her primary religion to Islam, marrying her off to a Paedophile and hiding her from her parents? ****

All rapist should be made to face law of their respective countries. But in the case of northern Nigeria, all accused persons are shielded by their emirate councils and sharia courts.

They are deaf and dumb they would never assimilate!
Their's is a case of a donkey carrying loads of books. They may be literate, but they are most ignorant!
Their case is hopeless, all you can do is pity them.
Ask them to conduct a quick censors of the average age their girls lose their virginity it will not be more than 14, yet cry blue murder about Ese's elopement, yes! it was never abduction.
I currently live in the south and my js3 student spent last two nights in her boyfriends room. This is most rampant as some of them actually take in and stop coming to school. All these are normal in their societies.
The saddest thing is that whenever a certain pastor commits a crime even if he links it directly to Christianity, he's labeled a fake pastor, but a a misguided motor park rout commits a crime so long he has a Muslim sounding name, it's Islam that takes the bashing.
I don't care much replying most of them, because I don't see the point. Like I said most of them are intellectually handicapped.

ItsMeAboki:


Your post stinks of ignorance and stupidity.
First of all let me categorically state that Islam does not condone Kidnapping, rape, forced marriage or conversion; and that anybody who does that would have disobeyed Islam.
This does not mean, however, that there will be no Muslims who will disobey Islam just as there will be no Christians who will disobey Christianity.
Condemning either religion for the individual actions of deviants within them is downright stupid and ridiculous.
Secondly, anybody who believes everything written in Nigerians newspapers needs to have his head re-examined because everyone is aware of the unprofessional junk journalism we have today; never expect unbiased reporting when it comes to religion because the predominantly Christian owned and controlled media would understandably always tilt towards christinity at the expense of Islam - an intelligent discerning reader should always be weary and able to read between the lines.
Thirdly, the stories you copied and pasted are products of the typical poor journalism that I had mentioned, majority of the cases have something in common; they are not forceful abductions as reported but elopement or simply the girls ran away from their homes/parents.
For example, in Ese's case the prosecutors have had to drop the charges of forced marriage and conversion after thorough investigation as against what the press was falsely reporting and the gullible public believing.

As for your parting shot against the north concerning rape, abduction and crime; well I'd like to say first look at your own backyard before pointing at others because when it comes to: rape we all know who are the champion rapists.
Just take a look at the crime section of this forum and you'd come across several despicable examples of reported rape ranging from gang rapes, sons against their mothers to child molestation; even as the Ese's case was going on there were two parallel cases of fathers raping and impregnating their own daughters, one of them a man of god,a pastor.
At the same time there was another case of ritualists sticking a huge stick into a 2yr old girl's vagina for their evil purpose.
As for crime in general and abduction/kidnapping in particular, we all know that you southerners head everybody in this department, in fact only recently the police discovered a training school for kidnappers.
When it comes to animalistic behavior nothing can surpass CANNIBALISM which is quite rife in the south.
Stop the hypocrisy and bigotry pls.

Finally, note that northerners are not supporting any of the accused based on the allegations against them, however, we abhor the blanket condemnation of the region, Islam and Hausa/Fulani tribes for the singular crimes of individual within the groups.
