Farida Isiak: Facing Trial at Sharia Court for a Social Media Post
The Nigerian authorities must drop bogus charges and sham trial of journalist Farida Isiak who was arraigned before Sharia Court Division 1 Kawo Kaduna. In a rushed trial she was sentenced to 4–years in prison with an option of N1.7 million fine.
Farida Isiak, a reporter with Nagarta Radio in Kaduna, was arrested and detained around 10:00 p.m. on Monday, 20 October, by officers under the command of the Divisional Police Officer of Mararaban Jos, Usman Adamu. The situation began as a minor civil disagreement between her mother and a neighbour over a 100 naira change dispute during a sale of charcoal. Police officers initially arrested her mother and later detained her father when he went to secure her release, using their detention as leverage to force Farida to come to the police station.
When Farida arrived at the station, police officers accused her of defaming them because of a Facebook post she wrote criticizing the unlawful treatment of her parents. Even though she complied with police demands to deleted the post and apologize in hopes of securing her parents' release, officers kept her in custody and rushed her to a Sharia Court in Kawo. The presiding judge sentenced her to four years in prison or a fine of 1.75 million naira on charges of defamation, completely ignoring the initial police violations and the abusive actions that led to the incident.
Farida was released yesterday evening on bail, with the trial set to commence again on 3 November.
Clearly, police are weaponizing the judicial system to punish Farida Isiak, instead of following due process of law.

Marxist in fighting is comical to me especially "Nigerian Marxist"
To the extent they are labeling themselves as trots as a slur 🤣🤣🤣🤣
May the best Marxist win
On a space of ex obidients and the problem from their perspective at least is their fellow obidients
And I see some say the effects of how obidients treated them trickled down to why they left
That obidients are surrogate for obi.
So whatever obidients do by proxy or by association obi did.
The issue I have is most of them are now APC but wouldn't hold the same standard for what APC supporters have also done and how that standard shifts and tinubu isn't responsible for those too but that's by the way
It's also exposes something fundamental that this shows your values were never with obi.
because you do if what others did can change how you see someone you claimed was your candidate as much as it was theirs.
Its shows you probably jumped on the obi waggon when you thought it had some footing and not necessarily because your values align with him and it shows in how people's actions can make you change who you think can make the country work.

A father discovered that his wife was HIV-positive. Days later, he learned that his 21-year-old daughter had tested positive too. What he discovered afterward changed everything he believed about his family.
His daughter was away at university, and she had been dating the same young man for nearly two years. The boyfriend visited their home regularly, ate at their table, and had earned the father’s trust.
The father had always treated him like part of the family. He invited him to holiday dinners, helped him when his car broke down, and even defended him when relatives questioned how quickly the young man had become so close to them.
When his daughter called to reveal her diagnosis, she was crying so hard that he could barely understand her.
He immediately supported her and helped arrange medical care. He told her that her diagnosis did not change how much he loved her and that they would face everything together.
But the news left him deeply unsettled.
He began thinking about every recent conversation, every visit, and every detail his daughter had mentioned about her relationship. She insisted that her boyfriend had been tested before, but she had not yet been able to reach him.

A man was shocked when his wife of 11 years tested positive for HIV. What confused him most was that he had never been unfaithful, and he believed his wife had been faithful too.
They had two children together and had built a peaceful life. He trusted her so much that he had never imagined himself questioning her loyalty.
When she showed him the test result, he immediately asked whether she had been feeling unwell.
She shook her head.
“I went for a routine checkup. I wasn’t expecting this.”
He encouraged her to seek medical care, and they agreed that he would get tested too.
While waiting for his results, he kept thinking about how the infection could have happened. He didn’t want to accuse his wife without understanding the situation.
