In Kano State, a young man named Ahmad Salisu Sheka was sentenced by a Sharia court to perform duties at the Murtala Mohammed Friday Mosque and participate in the daily prayers, following his conviction for conspiracy and theft. The Upper Sharia Court in Hausawa, Filin Hockey, Kano, headed by Dr Bello Musa Khalid, delivered the verdict after Sheka admitted to the charges.
His sentence was based on a confession, which established his guilt. In addition to the community service and religious obligation, the court ordered Sheka to compensate for the offense before placing him under the supervision of correctional facility official Habib H.

Sheka was initially arrested with a friend for allegedly stealing streetlights in Kano's Sallare neighbourhood, although the accomplice reportedly managed to escape.
