Yoruba group in Nigeria opposes Sharia law, viewing it as a threat to cultural identity.
A Yoruba youth group in Southwest Nigeria has rejected plans to introduce Sharia law and establish Sharia courts in the region, viewing these efforts as a threat to their cultural identity.
The group opposes the scheduled inauguration of a Sharia court in Oyo town, set for January 11, 2025, by the Supreme Council for Sharia in Nigeria (Oyo State Chapter).
They argue that Sharia law is incompatible with Yoruba values and vow to resist any attempts to impose it, stressing their commitment to preserving Yoruba cultural heritage and self-determination.
Critics also warn that Sharia law could lead to the oppression of the poor and less privileged.
