A Kano Islamic court has ordered a youth, Ahmad Salisu Sheka, to sweep Murtala Mohammed Friday Mosque and attend all five daily obligatory prayers in congregation.
The Upper Sharia Court sitting at Hausawa, Filin Hockey, Kano, presided over by Dr Bello Musa Khalid, convicted Sheka after he pleaded guilty to charges of conspiracy and theft.
Following his plea, the court established his guilt through his confession before sentencing him to sweep the mosque and attend the five daily prayers in congregation.
The court also ordered him to pay compensation before handing him over to a correctional facility official, Habib H. Habib, for the execution of the sentence.
