Kano Sharia Court Jails Cleric for Sending Nude Photos and Videos to Married Woman

An Upper Sharia Court in Kofa Kudu, Kano, has sentenced Islamic cleric Abdulmalik Rabiu to one month’s imprisonment for sending explicit messages, nude images and videos to a married woman. The case arose after the woman’s husband filed a police complaint. Rabiu, who lives in Maraba, Nasarawa State, pleaded guilty before Judge Ibrahim Sarki Yola and admitted that he knew the woman was married. Prosecution told the court that the cleric engaged in indecent communication despite being informed of her marital status. Although the offence can attract up to one year’s jail, 40 lashes and a fine, the court reduced his sentence to one month without an option of fine, considering his role as a teacher to over 1,000 students in Abuja.
