Bauchi Islamic Scholar Defends Sharia Law in Nigeria Amid Controversy

Bauchi Islamic scholar, Alhaji Aminu Moham, rejects recent calls by Nigerian Christian activists to abolish Sharia law in the country, labeling such demands as misguided and unacceptable. Moham defends Sharia law, stating it upholds justice, equity, due process, and protects human rights.

He criticizes attempts by Christian groups to discredit Sharia, citing historical context and the need for informed dialogue. Moham emphasizes that Sharia law in Nigeria is applicable only in the northern regions and respects international legal standards.

He urges for mutual respect and understanding between Muslims and Christians regarding governance in Nigeria.
