A Sharia Court sitting in Ningi, Bauchi State, has sentenced a middle-aged man identified as Abdullahi Sani from Unguwar Makara Huta to death by stoning for alleged homosexuality.
The judgment was handed down by Sharia Judge Abdullahi Aliyu Doya during a court session on May 10, 2024, after Sani was found guilty of the offence.
The Court heard the case from May 2 to May 9, 2024, and based its decision on witness testimonies and Sani’s admission of guilt.
The sentence was imposed in accordance with sections 131, 132, and 133 of the Bauchi State Administration of Criminal Justice, 2001.
This verdict follows a similar ruling on July 1, 2022, when three individuals were also sentenced to death by stoning for the same offence.
