In A Bold Assertion, Justice Abdurraheem Sayi, The Qadi Of The Shari’ah Court Of Appeal, Kwara State, Has Declared That Southwest State Governments Lack The Authority To Obstruct The Establishment Of Shari’ah Arbitration Panels By Muslims In The Region.

Addressing Concerns During A Lecture At The University Of Lagos Muslim Alumni’s 30th Pre-Ramadan Lecture, Themed “The Transformative Power Of Ramadan,” Justice Sayi Labeled Objections To Shari’ah Panels In The Southwest As “Legally Baseless” And Reflective Of “Islamophobia Syndrome.”
