On January 27, 2000, a leap year, Zamfara State instituted Sharia Law following the push by the then governor of the state, Ahmad Sani Yerima, which started in 1999. One of the few casualties of the Sharia legal system adopted by some northern Nigerian states was Lawali Isa, who had his right wrist amputated in 2001 for stealing a bicycle following a Sharia court judgment
The first person was Bello Buba Jangebe, whose hand was amputated in 2000 for stealing a cow. Mine was done in March 1, 2001 and since then, nobody has been punished again in that manner. As a true Muslim, I have no regrets for what happened to me. I was fully aware that what was done to me was in line with Sharia law. It is what the law says; anybody found guilty of committing theft would have their right wrist amputated. So when I was arrested and taken to a Sharia court during Ahmad Sani Yerima’s administration, I knew what was going to happen to me because it had happened to someone before me. My only regret is that, immediately I was amputated, everything was stopped.
Witen concern aboki
You no regret that Sharia law cut off your arm, but you'll be now carry the hand go Lagos as a street better. You for stay where the hand-cutting law dey nau.
Almajiri for life
This no justice but wickedness & it isn't corrective. What has anyone gained by this amputation? How many more will be wickedly disformed in the name of religion?
The time for you to regret will surely come. When the arrangement done with you will be revealed.
Sick mind polluted by religion. How many of your elites children have their hands amputated?
I hope you wont be nuisance to people who do know about your predicament or made laws that enforce your amputation?
What about the government official stealing
You can't. Afterall, there's so much free money around by alms givers
Stupidity is a big disease. Anyway, I think he is happy to have his arm cut off because it's an opportunity for a lucrative begging job down south. Nonsense 😤
N d man who introduced the law refused to be judged by same law. U see what education or lack of it does to a man's mind?
The most dangerous man is the one who has given up on himself.
Wetin concern me
'I have been with politicians since 2001 when my amputated wrist got healed. I also decided to be following some members of the All People’s Party, now the All Progressives Congress. I follow them to earn a living. I am one of their ‘boys’ (laughs).' Just see his life now!
Can you see the way they are raised?
this is barbaric...
I shall also have no regrets NOT dropping a penny in some beggars' cups.
The time for you to regret will surely come. Whatever arrangement done with you will be revealed.
An happy slave

Y'all need your own country
Victims of circumstances

Sha don't come to Ibadan and start begging for alms Before people will start to say beggars are too many in Ibadan as if Ibadan people are the ones begging for alms. Pollutants.
Religion is scam.

Later you will come to SW and be begging for arms. Wa gba
if a human can cut a part of another human off and feel no remorse upon doing so... such humans are murderers.
Very good sharia. Now , how do expect him to work,take care of his family and contribute to national development? Please answer me sharia.

This news sounds like a made up fake news imagine linking sharia,islam and northerners, what a perfect recipe for southern who hate the north and more clicks means more money, you will be the cause of our nations split and you will cause riots because of money.
Does he have any other options?
He stole a bicycle. Good one
Please my fellow Nigerians do us justice this cutting off hand thing is done only one's in the time of our prophet (pbuh) and would you steal when you know your hand will be cut off, the fear only is enough for you to not steal. I stay with my things you stay with your hand.
Mumu, stupidity at it pick .
Pls, do not come down South to be begging for alms! Primitive lifestyle & beliefs! Does it take away the sinful nature to steal?
He is obviously lieing
Sharia is barbaric, it should not be practiced in a sane society
What a religion! And still, they peace lips service peace

Because he knows he can beg for the rest of his life. Useless people.
Of course he doesnt. Now get on a truck comman beg in lagos the land if generous alms givers
Don't come to street of Warri, and begooooooooo.
Religion is the problem of the North. When the poor steals their wrists or hands are amputated and when a politician steals, the law looks the other way; yet, the poor man whose wrist was amputated said he has no regrets. What!!! Is Sharia law meant to oppress the poor?

You don't have option anyway.
Human courts have convicts, animals have casualties
POP CHAMPAGNE 😀😀😀. JUNGLE JUSTICE !
Hope you are still left with a finger to vote, at least you now have a genuine reason beg
Don't come to South to beg. Liability
It’s actually a blessing in disguise, a business opportunity, an empowerment sort of. No regret aboki na.
See people that am breathing air with in this country. Northerners and senility is like 5&6
Aboki
And you want us to be in the same clime with this ideology of turning an able body to a disabled. Let them turn everyone into amputee and send them South for alm begging and SanwoOlu will do the needful.
Daddy freeze come and carry your brother o..Indeed Religion is the opium of the masses..
My perish for lack of knowledge. Ignorance is a disease😎
And the man who established the sharia and stole billions is enjoying his life. Wow
Hmmmm, very “knowledgeable” man. 27-01-2000 they established Sharia and 27-06-2002 they created Boko Haram. After all these, how has the North been faring. Indeed there is no correlation between light and darkness. Make sure you don’t come to Lagos to beg;Remain and enjoy ur woes

When your leaders rendered you useless in the name of religion, what else would you do if not to beg for arms and perhaps join BH to inflict more suffering on your people. You don't have regret for stealing even if your two legs are cut off, what animalistic?
Ah congratulations ooo!
Slave !
Living in bondage
Same Zamfara where Governor and his Associates steal billions and nothing happens, your hand was amputated for a mere bicycle and you have no regret. It's alright. Let your begging end in the North too.
Of course,how can you regret, when you know that you will be coming to Lagos to beg for alms... useless people
Ode oshi... My people perish for lack of knowledge. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Definitely, stealing and begging are closely related. They have opened a new livelihood for him.
I don't know you people problem he had made himself clear. He doesn't regret coz he knew that should be the punishment by God for stealing. And for those politicians that they tgought they are above the law they shall one day meet their judgements
Stay put there and don't come down south,you people can not be cutting ur hands and putting d bills on d south.
Oya chop knuckle 👊👊.
When religion is dealing with someone
The educated North.
Na your hand guy. Whatever you like do to yourself
License for begging acquired, yeye people
Small time u will be begging
They will soon amputate his mouth
How can a human being be this idiotic?
Of course, since you can always go to the Southern Nigeria to make money through begging on the street. Foolish man!
We know because they government will sponsor u and your family with tax payers money
Man and his religion. pathetic so where's the place for repentance. what a religion. pity
This is a total nonsense , Nobody can fight for God or judge anybody I see religion as a scam , black sense with black people .
Has it changed you from committing the same sin? You are saved by grace through faith and not by your own actions.
How will you regret? When you know that's the easiest way to make money. Begi begi
Pls don't ever come to south to beg for alms
The man is funny though, He's been at the mercy of politicians for his livelihood. What a country? I remember the outcry from the public as regard the Sharia law in that state that year.. Nigeria , God will heal this country
He is coming to Lagos to beg
Don't worry next they will behead and in hell you will still have no regret. Hahahahahaha be free with religion not slave to it.
In a country where there is laid down laws, Zamfara is practicing Sharia with no hindrance. Decision making in the core North seems to be revolving around Islamic rules. Little wonder there are loads of beggers in the South. This is a crime against humanity.
But none of your politicians, elites and religious leaders have missing limbs. It couldn't be that they don't sin. A law that applies to the rich must also apply to the poor. How many of the senators caught in adultery have been stoned to death? They've brainwashed you.
I pity idiots down south who toil all day and give money to them...i stopped that last year and me too I have no regrets!
They will now come to south begging arms everywhere!!! We won't regret giving u nothing
Who will be amputate for Abacha stealing? What of Ganduja?
Yeye dey smell
This is what we call faith
That's 'Believe'. His amputated wrist can't stop him achieving his dreams
Your wrist not my own.
You have no regrets until you come to the street to beg
hope u will not turn to the street to beg?
Got employed by the state government
Those northerners are on a different diet !
Are we in the same country with this people? They’re the very same people who would oppose any attempt by people in other regions to create laws according to their own contexts.. What parts of the bodies of their thieving politicians would be severed? Nigeria’s clock is ticking.
🤣 🤣 🤣
This man is still alive?
What did he mean by that?it means even if they are going to cut his hand again he go steal?
Then you become jobless and keep 28 children to turn to almajiri. You are a got.
Wat religion can do to man
