However, the spokesman for the House, Honourable Abdulrasak Namdas, told reporters in Abuja on Thursday that there was a proposed amendment to the constitution that is yet to be sent back to the house. He also said that it was wrong to say a Sharia bill had passed second reading in the House. According to the Sharia law, a Sharia Court of Appeal manned by competent Kadis of Islamic law has a limited jurisdiction to Islamic personal status and leave a wider jurisdiction in other matters of Islamic law in the hands of a High Court Judge who may not at all be lettered in Islamic law.]]>
