“This is how they make beggars in the North and export them down South. Islamic republic of northern nigeria? We can’t have a religious law, when we have a contitution that should supersed any other law. OBILLOR1 what do you think Congratulations to them that escaped rehab only to be called (Sharia judges). The CEO Babariga mobile bank aka Gandollars is going about doing good with his arms complete (not even a single confrontation)”
“This is vengence not Sharia, These laws are passed down on a mordern society without mordern interpretation of Sharia. Sharia mean ‘Just or Fair Law’ .The sentences passed down by these ‘ religious illiterates’ is neither ‘Just or Fair’ on Society or these men. Pretty sure it would not happen? This would amount to cutting one’s nose to spite his face. I think the authority has to be circumspect ?”
“Lol but can’t cut Gandollar throat even after that video. These northern elite just using their people Imaging this in the igboland you’ll hear things like This ppl are not United This ppl are having a separate state in a state They’re terrorists We should send python dance And worst is that our ppl will still support it or keep quiet over it or aid it in one way or the other”
“Is Bauchi part of Nigeria? Is Bauchi govern by a different constitution? After cutting their hand’s,we should not see any of them in Lagos begging for arm’s. Ensure you make provisions for them. I don’t even understand this your Sharia, Boko harams who killed thousands, are free,and the minor offenders hand’s are cut.”
“You have been cutting them for ages, one would have thought that there is no longer crime in the North. Those of your members who kill others due to difference, what do you do to them? Oh, you men pick and choose what sin to punish. wakeupNigerians Happening in this country?! But why all this unnecessary killings, why why why,,,,”
“YakubDogara you can let this happen… You shouldn’t! North LMAO AbadaEfeJulius – hmmmm! More beggars on Bauchi streets. This is 2019 and pple are still leaving as if they are in the stone age…the funny thing is that these laws dnt apply to the rich Nigeria is a really useless country…we have a constitution and a justice system.. Also we have another set of rules that people in the north feels is the best for them..I can’t cry more than the bereaved …if they enjoy this rules,let them continue maiming themselves.”

15 convicts sentenced to limb amputation, death-by-stoning languish in Bauchi jail 10 years after
Which Court sentenced people to limb amputation, death by stoning in a secular country like Nigeria?, and has the convicts exhausted their rights of appeal to the highest court in the land?. This law is barbaric. Can’t still believe some part of Nigeria practices this barbaric law! Smh.”“This is why backwardness and poverty will forever finish their lives. Hypocrites Barbaric practices. Who ever form this Nigeria out of their greed shall know no peace. God sent the devil into the world in the form of Muslims. And what was their crime…? Can you enlighten us… What the hell is wrong with these people? More amputee/beggars in the street and yet a certain mobile banker still has his hands intact. Na wa ooh!”
“Very good… Religious madness. The judge might also be guilty of even higher crimes. God have mercy! Very wrong sharia is bigotry this religion is repugnant.”
“Just imagine in a country where there’s a ruling constitution, why did I have this country as nationality What of ganduje…abi no sharia for kano Poetic justice Is this life Hmmm. We are indeed in a zoo Good one”
