Some Netizens have raised concerns about the recent inauguration of Sharia law in Oyo state.

“To whom it may concern,
Please read this post and listen well.
If sharia law gets implemented in your state, Let me tell you ahead what will happen.
You can be randomly arrested and imprisoned for “indecent dressing”.
EVEN IF you are not a Muslim, EVEN if you a Christian, EVEN IF you are a traditionalist, EVEN IF you don’t subscribe to Sharia and EVEN if you are an atheist.
During Ramadan;
You can be arrested for selling food.
EVEN IF you are not a Muslim. As long as they can claim you were selling it to Muslims.
I am NOT telling you what they may do.
I am telling you what they have ALREADY done.
Read this story from hisbah police in Kano:

Again to be very clear;
If you ever hear sharia law, Run for your life.
It is weaponised to torture, to oppress, to imprison and to kill those who are poor and less privileged.
Say no to sharia. With everything in you!
Nobody that means well for southern Nigeria should ever be clamouring or romanticising sharia law in a multicultural multireligious region like southern Nigeria specifically.

Because think about it:
What does “indecent dressing” even mean? It is a meaningless terminology that will only embolden the oppression of others.
It will just be a legalised loophole for religious monsters to prey on the vulnerable and oppress other people especially people who are poor and less privileged.
The nigerian police is already moving like unregulated lunatics in the south.
Now imagine a situation where religious police are also empowered by law to roam about on the streets to kidnap people, imprison people, torture people and harass people because of “see what you are wearing”.
Many of you are not thinking of the kind of fire you are playing with.
