However, the board are awaiting response from the State Commissioner for Justice and Attorney General to determine what is to be done next.
The Commander went ahead to indulge the journalists on the demands of Sharia Law while pleading with the public to try and comply with the teachings of Allah and avoid unethical conducts, and things that are prohibited according to the dictates of Sharia.
“Let me appeal to the people to fear Allah (SWT) in all our dealings and avoid all prohibited activities, such as mingling between males and females. Dress codes and social interactions must align with Islamic law.
“Taking advantage of any place or hideout for immoral acts is prohibited. Assaulting or cheating fellow Muslims, directly or indirectly, must also be shunned,” the Commander said.
Usman Jatau also stated that ceremonies, celebrations, and anniversaries must be conducted in accordance with Sharia teachings. That selling or distributing illicit substances or drugs at public gatherings or events are strictly forbidden.
