Appeal Court Overrules Sharia Court Over Herders Eviction In Jigawa
An appeal court sitting in Dutse, the Jigawa State capital on Tuesday, overruled an eviction order for herders’ settlement by an Upper Sharia Court.
Delivering the lead judgement, which was adopted by one other judge Abubakar Sambo, Justice Umar Sadiq held that the upper Sharia Court lacks the jurisdiction to entertain such matter. In the verdict, Justice Sadiq said, “in the result, the trial by the Gwaram Upper Sharia Court without jurisdiction has hereby voided the decision and the consequential order are hereby set aside, the appeal succeeds.”
