There has been pressure from human rights organizations mounting on the Kano State government not to carry out such a devilish act.

But the statement which was issued by the Council’s secretary, Nafi’u Baba-Ahmad rubbished those calling for the release of the accused saying that the ruling is in consonance with Islamic laws and the wish of majority of Nigerians who are muslims.

The statement reads; “The calls by some so-called human rights groups to pardon the culprit should not deter the state government from doing the right thing.

“This case is purely an Islamic affair, in consonance with the religion, culture and wishes of not only the people of Kano, but the majority of the population of Nigeria who are Muslims.

“The council further wishes to emphatically remind all Nigerians especially the secular human rights groups that the judgement is in line with the Supreme Court judgement.”

Thus, the courts are filled with married couples desperate to get a divorce day in, day out. On Wednesday, a Sharia Court in Magajin Gari, Kaduna State, received a plea by Shamsiya Muhammad, a Muslim housewife to dissolve her marriage with her husband, Sani Adamu. Her grounds for seeking this divorce is his refusal to pray, lack of care for her and frequently insulting her parents.

“We got married six years ago and we have two children, he paid N40,000 as my bride price, I am willing to return back his money and free myself from the union as Islam guides us’’, she told the court. Her husband, Mr. Adamu, however, claims that he loves and cares for his wife, has never insulted her parents and prays five times a day. He pleaded with the court to give him and his wife time to settle their differences.
