Islamic court in Nigeria sentenced a women to death by stoning for having sex out of wedlock, authorities said. The sentence, passed in the northern state of Bauchi, have to be confirmed by the state governor before being carried out, and it is open to appeal.
Hajara Ibrahim, a 29-year-old woman, was sentenced to death by an Islamic Sharia court in the Tafawa Balewa area of the state, having confessed to having sex with 35-year-old Dauda Sani and becoming pregnant, the court said in a statement. The man was acquitted.
"There is no evidence to link him with the allegation and consequently the court acquitted him for lack of evidence."
"The court has however handed the woman convict to her guardian to take care of her until she delivers the baby before the sentence will be executed by stoning her to death according to the provisions of the Sharia penal code," the court said.
