The Place of Delegates on Thursday dismissed a bill trying to extend Islamic regulation in the 1999 constitution.
The bill, which is supported by Aliyu Missau, expected to alter areas 24, 262, 277, and 288 of the 1999 constitution by eliminating "individual" any place "Islamic regulation" is referenced.
Segment 262 (1) of the constitution expresses that: "The Sharia Court of Allure will, notwithstanding such other purview as might be given upon it by a Demonstration of the Public Get together, exercise such re-appraising and administrative ward in common procedures including inquiries of Islamic individual regulation"
Aliyu Missau contended that the incorporation of "individual" later "Islamic" limits its application, particularly on Islamic business regulations.
"The 1999 constitution accommodated individual Islamic regulation. The constitution didn't visualize the dynamism and improvement that might come into the country," he said.
"For example, in 2003, the constitution didn't anticipate the approach of Jaiz Bank which works under business Islamic regulation."
The administrator gave the signal "individual" ought to be eliminated to help Islamic business regulation and Islamic global regulation, among others.
While a few northern administrators upheld the bill, those from the south view the proposition as a work to expand the span of Sharia regulation.
Restricting the bill, Solomon Sway from Streams said the revision would expand the use of Islamic regulation past the "individual matters" visualized by the designers of the constitution.
"That's what the ramifications is if the word 'individual' is taken out, Islamic regulation would have more extensive ramifications. The word 'individual' was put there for an explanation," the legislator said.
AbdulHakeem Ado from Kano upheld the bill, saying Islamic business regulation should be maintained.
Saidu Abdullahi from Niger state and Ahmed Satomi from Borno were among legislators who supported the bill.
Jonathan Gaza from Nasarawa, Ademorin Kuye from Lagos, and Awaji-Inombek Abiante from Streams kicked against the proposed regulation.
The bill was dismissed when it was put to a voice vote by Ben Kalu, the representative speaker, who managed entire.
