Kano Islamic Scholars Defend Sharia Law Against US Pressure
Kano-based Islamic scholars, led by Dr. Saidu Ahmad Dukawa on behalf of the Coalition of Ulama Islam, dismiss US pressure to scrap Sharia Law and dismantle the Hisbah system in Nigeria. They argue that Sharia Law is integral to Muslim communities' moral and social conduct, operating alongside secular courts without violating the constitution.
The scholars warn against external interference in religious matters, stressing that Hisbah complements security agencies during unrest. They urge Nigerian authorities to resist foreign pressure to maintain interfaith relations and national unity.
