There is an uneasy calm in the South-West geopolitical zone over the plan to set up Sharia panels in states within the region, Daily Trust can report.
The matter became more intense on Wednesday last week when Ekiti State hosted the first Sharia panel sitting at Ekiti Central Mosque, Ado Ekiti with three Khadis forming the panel.
The Khadis were Imam Abdullahi Abdul-Mutolib, Imam Abdulraheem Junaid-Bamigbola and Dr Ibrahim Aminullahi-Ogunrinde.
Some Yoruba nation activists and agitators have kicked against the panel in Ekiti and those of other states in the South West, saying the subregion would not accept any Sharia panel.
