Nigeria: jails backlogged with prisoners in lengthy wait of sharia stonings and amputations

May 8, 2019 12:13 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams

In a prison in a village in Nigeria, “the condemned convicts we have are mostly coming from Sharia Courts. These and other related cases like amputation of hand or leg have been in jail for over 10 years without knowing their fate. Their hands are not cut off, their legs are not cut off, they don’t know their fate.”

The thought of not knowing for years on what day ones amputation or stoning might happen is a harsh punishment in itself.  The barbaric sentences handed down by sharia courts is what so-called human rights organizations need to be condemning in the strongest possible terms; but Western organizations are afraid to address barbaric practices in Islam for fear of being called “racist” and “Islamophobic”.

Westerners have been bullied by Muslim lobbies to prioritize political correctness and the hurt feelings of Muslims over the lives and well-being of victims.

Mainstream conversations about human rights are often overshadowed by non-existent concerns about “Islamophobia” instead of the abuses committed by Muslims against minority groups, women and apostates. How about some sympathy and advocacy for five people (among others globally) “sentenced to death-by-stoning; and 10 others whose legs and hands are to be amputated are awaiting the day of judgment.”

Where are the voices to advocate for the human rights of these people against such unthinkable abuse?  The answer is that the voices who advocate for them are being beaten up by the “Islamophobia” battering ram which enforces the lie that such abuse has nothing to do with Islam.

“Sharia Court To Chop Off Hands And Legs Of 10 People, Stone 5 To Death In Bauchi State”, by Ngere Ify Davies, Within Nigeria, May 8, 2019:

The Controller of Prisons, Bauchi State Command, Suleiman T. Suleiman has said that five persons who were sentenced to death-by-stoning; and 10 others whose legs and hands are to be amputated are awaiting the day of judgment.

Suleiman, who spoke in an interview with newsmen in his office on Tuesday on the state of prison in Bauchi, also lamented that some convicts have been in jail for over 10 years with action not taken on them. He said six other inmates have also been condemned to death, five are currently on life sentence, while 188 are on various jail terms of two years and above.

He lamented that the prison currently has 947 inmates at the 500-capacity Bauchi Prison. He said:

“The condemned convicts we have are mostly coming from Sharia Courts. These and other related cases like amputation of hand or leg have been in jail for over 10 years without knowing their fate. Their hands are not cut off, their legs are not cut off, they don’t know their fate.

“There are also those who are supposed to be stoned to death. I am worried. I feel touched that each time I go to any of the prisons to visit, they’ll be the first to confront me with questions about their case…..

    It sort of looks like they don’t really want to saw any hands or legs off or stone people to death. Maybe they should just release the prisoners on bond until they decide what to do. Or don’t they believe a Muslim’s word is as good as his bond?

      Alas, Shari’ah amputations are quite common in Nigeria now:

    This needs to be brought into the centre of British life as Britain was the main player historically. Also brought into the centre of Irish life as many Irish youthful priests worked in Nigeria as Missionaries.

      What rot from Felix Quigley–this has nothing to do with British or Irish law. This is pure Shari’ah savagery.

      Felix Quigley as usual wants to blame Islamic brutality on Capitalism (he is a Communist) or on the West, but of course this makes no sense.

      One of the saving graces for Nigeria is that in the southern part Christianity still holds.

      Muslims converting to Christianity in Nigeria, despite brutal persecution:

    There must be some misunderstanding, because Matt Duss, who is Bernie Sanders’ foreign policy adviser and consequently must be very well informed on these matters, wrote in 2011 that “Sharia is overwhelmingly concerned with personal religious observance such as
    prayer and fasting, and not with national laws.”

    Perhaps Matt Duss should go to Nigeria and clear up this misunderstanding.

      Center for American Progress is John Podesta’s lobbying shill outfit.

      Now, considering the associated backroom tangle, do you still wonder just whose “progress” they promote?

    Sharia law with all is ruthless cruelty and death is based totally on Islam In other words, Islam is the very core foundation of and for Sharia law. This leads to the fact the the foundation of Islam is the Qu ‘ran..

    For a more full understanding of the actual nature of the Qur’an. Others call it, the Koran a person needs to look back in time before the coming of Muhammad and then the Koran. Back to the First Century AD which was the time of early Christian church. For the Early Christian Church had and now in modern times the Christian church still has the Gospel of Christ, First Corinthians 15:1-4. Much later, in time, came Muhammad and he gave much information, that many believe to be divine, some of which is said to have been obtained from an angle from heaven. This information was written down on different objects and things Those written words in different objects was then compiled together and then eventually went into the composition of what is now called the Koran, As some also call it the Qur’an. The Koran is actually, that is in reality, another gospel, apart and greatly different from the Gospel of the Christian Church. Such a thing was predicted in the Bible. For the Bible does warn about those who will come and offer to people another gospel other than the one shown above, First Corinthians 15:1-4. For it is warned about any other “gospel” in the Bible. For it is written in the Bible “Though we or an angle from heaven preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. As we said before, so I say now again, if any man preaches any other gospel unto you than ye have received, let him be accursed.” Galatians 1:8, 9. [K.J.V.] Therefore, the Koran is the result of the deception of a false prophet, Mathew 7:15., who may have come in contact with a fallen angle, a demon, So the imams and mullahs who preach it a truth to other are accused of and by God.

    The condemned convicts we have are mostly coming from Sharia Courts.

    It looks like Nigeria has a bifurcated criminal justice system. Creeping Sharia; creeping Islamization and removal of freedom.

    Too bad there’s an unwritten law prohibiting the publication of the contents of the Holy Ko-Ran and the rest of Islam.
