Court Sentences Nigerian Man To Death By Stoning For Homosexuality

In Ningi, Bauchi State, Abdullahi Sani, a resident of Unguwar Makara Huta, has been condemned to death by stoning by a Sharia Court on charges of homosexuality.

The verdict, handed down by Sharia Judge Abdullahi Aliyu Doya during a court session on May 10, 2024, found Sani guilty of the alleged offence.

According to the Sharia Judge, proceedings on the case began on May 2, 2024, and concluded on Thursday, May 9, 2024, with judgment and sentencing following various arguments.

 Based on witness testimonies and Sani’s admission of guilt, the court ruled him guilty and sentenced him to death by stoning under sections 131, 132, and 133 of the Bauchi State Administration of Criminal Justice, 2001.

This ruling echoes a similar case on July 1, 2022, when a Sharia court delivered a verdict sentencing three individuals to death by stoning for comparable charges.
