Sharia Panel Holds First Public Sitting In Ekiti Amid Strong Opposition

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

The inaugural sitting of the Shariah panel was held last Thursday.

It was gathered that the panel 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.

In the first case, Imam Abdul-Mutolib announced that the issue between the couple had been resolved through a consent judgment, following prior mediation by family members.

However, the second case, which involved a wife accusing her husband of neglecting his marital duties, was adjourned until January 30 for further investigation and a more thorough hearing to ensure a fair outcome.

The panel’s sitting comes amid opposition from various groups in the southwestern region of Nigeria against the implementation of Sharia law. [CONTINUE READING HERE]>>>>
