Some Yoruba youths have kicked against the inauguration of a Shariah Court in Oyo State.
A circular announcing the inauguration went viral on X and the youths made it clear that they do not want Shariah Court.
Sharia court is quite common in Northern Nigeria.
A netizen, Harry, wrote, “Shey I drink abi my eyes dey pain me?”Sharia Court in Oyo? Wondafuuu”.
Some other netizens supported him and wondered why such a thing would be brought to Oyo State.
Some Muslims, however, disagreed with them and explained that their fears were unfounded because Sharia law does not apply to non-Muslims.
@YusufBabaJunior wrote, “Why are you disturbed? Sharia law doesn’t apply to non-muslims. It’s a jurisdiction for muslims. Arent there a lot of Muslims in Oyo? Why do you guys feel provoked at anything? It’s gotten so bad honestly.”
@CaptainGbemidebe wrote, “Sharia law doesn’t apply to non-Muslims but Rhoda Hatau just got out of jail after spending two years for a bogus charge of blasphemy. Deborah got killed and her killers are still walking free. And Muslim lawyers supported it all. Sharia law doesn’t apply to non-Muslims. Lol”.
