A Sharia court in Kano State has ordered Ahmad Salisu Sheka to sweep Murtala Mohammed Friday Mosque and attend all five daily obligatory prayers in congregation after convicting him of conspiracy and theft.
The Upper Sharia Court sitting at Hausawa, Kano, presided over by Dr Bello Musa Khalid, handed down the sentence after Sheka pleaded guilty to the charges.
The court established his guilt through his confession before ordering him to clean the mosque and participate in the five daily congregational prayers.
It also directed him to pay compensation before handing him over to a correctional facility official, Habib H. Habib, for the execution of the sentence.
Reports indicated that Sheka was arrested alongside a friend over the alleged theft of streetlights in the Sallare neighbourhood of Kano.
However, his alleged accomplice reportedly escaped from those who apprehended them.
