Rukayat, a resident of Jos, had approached the court seeking the dissolution of the marriage on the grounds that she was no more in love with Alkasim. The woman, who filed a direct complaint to the court, argued that such separation was permissible in Islamic law, “if the partners are no more in love and therefore unwilling to live together”. When the case was mentioned on May 25, the husband did not object to Rukayat’s demand. At the resumption of hearing on the matter on Thursday, the Judge, Yahaya Ahmed, endorsed the separation of the couple and ordered the petitioner to refund the N80,000 paid as dowry by her husband, as applicable in Islamic law.

Muslim leaders from across Britain refuse to bury London Bridge attackers (No Photos)

Muslims leaders from across Britain have refused to bury the three ISIS-claimed attackers who brought terror to central London and killed seven. British police identified Khuram Shazad Butt and Rashid Redouane, as two of three attackers who struck pedestrians with a van on London Bridge and stabbed pub-goers after crashing. One eyewitness said that an attacker shouted “this is for Allah” during the assault, but more than 100 imams and Muslim scholars from across Britain have said that they cannot even bury the terrorists after such actions that claim to be in the name of Islam. Though at no time is it acceptable, that such ruthless violence was perpetrated during the season of Ramadan, in which Muslims worldwide focus on pious devotion, prayer, charity and the cultivation of good character, demonstrates how utterly misguided and distant the terrorists are from our faith and the contempt which they hold for its values,”  read a statement released by the Muslim Council of Britain.

Prostate cancer breakthrough ‘could help patients live longer’? [DETAILS]

Image
According to the results of a clinical trial, a new drug, abiraterone, when used for the treatment for prostate cancer, greatly improves survival. Abiraterone is a hormone therapy which stops more testosterone from reaching the prostate gland in a bid to restrict the growth of the tumour. The large-scale trial involved almost 2,000 patients.

Nicholas James, a professor at the University of Birmingham, who led the research, said: “These are the most powerful results I’ve seen from a prostate cancer trial – it’s a once-in-a-career feeling. “This is one of the biggest reductions in death I’ve seen in any clinical trial for adult cancers.” Sumanta Kumar Pal, an expert with the American Society of Clinical Oncology, explained the benefits of the drug. “Abiraterone now offers

Adeolu Ande, a professor of Entomology at the University of Ilorin, has decried killing mosquitoes, saying the insects are friends to humans that deserved to be properly managed. Ande made the statement on Monday in Ilorin in a paper he presented at a public seminar organised by the university.

Don’t blame the youth [MUST READ]

Image
In 1985, or was it 1986, a top official of the Babangida administration said something that, up till today, I am still struggling to understand. The naval officer and member of the Armed Forces Ruling Council (AFRC) said: “We are over-pampering the youth when we call them leaders of tomorrow.” I now can’t remember the occasion or the context, but I was already a teenager at the time and was used to the popular expression that “the youth are the leaders of tomorrow”. It was a simple, indisputable statement and a natural fact, I always thought. I, therefore, couldn’t understand his proclamation. Maybe I was too young to appreciate it. I am much older now and if you ask me to interpret that statement, I would still struggle. Maybe he meant it as a deliberate check on youthful exuberance. Maybe he meant the youth should be reminded of their responsibilities since more emphasis was being constantly paid to their rights. Maybe he meant there is more to leadership than the youth were b
