A Sharia courtroom in Kano State has sentenced a younger man, Ahmad Salisu Sheka, to sweep the Murtala Mohammed Friday Mosque and observe all 5 daily prayers in congregation after convicting him of conspiracy and theft.
The Upper Sharia Court in Hausawa, Filin Hockey, Kano, presided over by Dr Bello Musa Khalid, handed down the sentence after Sheka pleaded responsible to the fees.
The courtroom relied on his confession to set up his guilt earlier than ordering him to clear the mosque and attend the 5 compulsory daily prayers alongside different worshippers.
It additionally directed him to pay compensation for the offence earlier than handing him over to a correctional facility official, Habib H. Habib, who is anticipated to be sure that the sentence is carried out.
According to studies, Sheka was arrested alongside a pal over the alleged theft of streetlights within the Sallare neighbourhood of Kano.
However, his alleged confederate reportedly escaped from those that apprehended them.
The ruling adopted Sheka’s request for forgiveness, with the sentence combining group service on the mosque with obligatory participation in daily congregational prayers.
