Governor Ahmed Sani of Zamfara State, has ordered the demolition of all churches in the state, as he launched the second phase of his Sharia project yesterday.
Speaking at the launch in Gusau, the state capital, Governor Sani disclosed that time was ripe for full implementation of the programme as enshrined in the Holy Quran.
He added that his government would soon embark on demolition of all places of worship of unbelievers in the state, in line with Islamic injunction to fight them wherever they are found.

Nigeria is constitutionally a secular state, but the Governer has been instituting Sharia law since 2000. Other states are following suit. |
Governor Sani also made the retention of a long beard a condition for securing juicy contracts from the state government.
