The Governor of Ogun State, Dapo Abiodun, has warned those behind the establishment of the Sharia Court in the state to disband the illegal entity and all its apparatus immediately.

OsunDailyNG understands that a flier announcing the launch of a Sharia court has been circulating in the state.

In the flier sighted by Punch, the Sharia Arbitration Committee, Ogun State, said, โ€œAlhamdulillah, itโ€™s eventually established in Ogun State. A Sharia Court, which Ogun State Muslims have been yearning for, for ages, is finally here.โ€

However, speaking via a statement personally signed by him on Tuesday, Abiodun warned that the Ogun Stateโ€™s legal framework does not recognise Sharia Court, saying only courts recognised by the Nigerian constitution are allowed in the state

The governor said, โ€œThe Ogun State Government has noted the circulation of a digital notice announcing the launch of a Shariโ€™ah Court in Ogun State.

โ€œNo Sharia Court is authorised to operate within Ogun State. The courts that are legally empowered to adjudicate disputes arising within Ogun State are those established by the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria or by state laws, which are: Magistratesโ€™ Courts, High Court, Customary Courts, Customary Court of Appeal, Federal High Court, National Industrial Court, Court of Appeal, and Supreme Court.

โ€œNo law operating in Ogun State has established a Sharia Court, and Sharia law does not form part of the legal framework by which the Ogun State Government administers and governs society.

โ€œThe Ogun State Government upholds and protects the rights of individuals to practise the religion of their choice, or to subscribe to no religion, and recognises the freedom of individuals to apply their faith in their personal and private matters.

โ€œHowever, this freedom does not extend to the formation of unauthorised assemblies or institutions. No individual or group is legally permitted to constitute a court or present themselves to the public as a court without legal backing.

โ€œThose behind that notice have no legal backing. They cannot set up a court or administer justice by fiat or public notice.

โ€œThe Ogun State Government, hereby, directs that all persons involved in the creation or operation of this unauthorised court must immediately cease all related activities and disband the illegal entity and all its apparatus.

โ€œThe Ogun State Government also advises members of the public to disregard any summons, documents, or persons associated with the illegal Sharia Court. Such occurrences should be promptly reported to the State.

โ€œThe Ogun State Government will uphold the rule of law, ensure respect for the legal and judicial framework within the state, and prevent a breakdown of law and order.โ€
