In Kano, an Islamic court has sentenced a young man named Ahmad Salisu Sheka to sweep the Murtala Mohammed Friday Mosque and participate in the five daily obligatory prayers collectively. The Upper Sharia Court, presided over by Dr Bello Musa Khalid, handed down the ruling after Sheka admitted his guilt to the charges of conspiracy and theft.
The court acknowledged his confession and proceeded to sentence him accordingly. He was further instructed to compensate those wronged before being handed over to a correctional facility official, Habib H. Habib, to enforce the sentence. Sheka and his friend were apprehended in the Sallare neighbourhood for allegedly stealing streetlights, though his accomplice reportedly managed to evade capture.
