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.
Daso Adamu, 26-year-old, was sentenced to death by a Sharia court in Ningi area of Bauchi state, said judge Ahmed Musa Wurojamel.
Adamu admitted to having sex with a 35-year-old man 12 times, and is now in custody in Ningi prison, the judge added. The man was acquitted for lack of evidence.
Sharia judgments often go unreported in Nigeria because they are handed down in small, remote court houses and local media interest is limited.
