The Quran, Hadiths and Shariah law do not endorse or justify gross acts of vigilante violence, jungle justice and extra-judicial killings.

The Quran also warns Muslim against revenge when they are insulted. It states that, “We already know that your heart is constrained by what they say, so glorify the praises of your Lord and be among those who prostrate.” [Surah al-Hijr, 15:97-98].I was shocked to the marrow when an Imam, during a Juma’at service in one of the mosques in Abuja, ordered his followers to engage in extra-judicial killings.

When the scholar queried the young killer over the motivation for his homicidal sprees, the fellow claimed to have only been following the instructions of his teacher, who also happened to be in custody at that point in time. The convicts had earlier been found guilty of murder and sentenced to death by the High Court in Kebbi and an Appeal Court, before the judgment was finally ratified by the Supreme Court.

“It is only when a person is convicted and sentenced by a court of law that he will be liable to a punishment which will be carried out by an appropriate authority .” In many verses of the Holy Quran, Prophet Muhammad and Muslims are enjoined by the Almighty Allah to be patient and to increase their acts of tolerance and worship.“Be patient over what they say and avoid them with gracious avoidance.” [Surah al-Muzzamil, 73:10] and “So be patient over what they say and exalt with the praises of your Lord before the rising of the sun and before its setting.

ICYMI: 'Jungle justice has no place in modern democracy' -- Anyim demands justice for Deborah | TheCableAnyim Pius Anyim, former senate president, has condemned the killing of Deborah Samuel, a female student of Shehu Shagari College of Education, Sokoto state. democracy is filthy to any true muslim Should they throw away sharia for democracy? No matter what your religion, the “church” and state must be separate. Religious views can be wildly different & restrictive depending on whatever dominate religion is in the area. Government laws need to be based on a person’s right to life, liberty & the pursuit of happiness. These same people kept quiet when a lawyer was massacred in Anambra for supporting PMB & when a military couple were beheaded by IPOB. Not holding brief for anyone, and condemnable as the heartless act in Sokoto was, so also the others in the SE by IPOB. Let's condemn them all.
