Icala lika-Yahaya Sharif-Aminu lizolalelwa yiNkantolo Ephakeme yaseNigeria futhi linamandla okuchitha umthetho wezwe odla lubi wokuhlambalaza ezifundazweni ezisenyakatho. Imithetho ehlambalazayo inomthelela kusiko lokwesaba nobudlova obudlangile ngokuqondisa amaqembu ezenkolo amancane ngezijeziso zobugebengu, okuhlanganisa kwezinye izingxenye, isigwebo sentambo, ngenxa yenkulumo yezenkolo ebonakala icunula.
U-Kola Alapinni, ummeli wamazwe ngamazwe wamalungelo abantu omele u-Yahaya eNkantolo Ephakeme yaseNigeria ngokubambisana ne-ADF International, uthe:
“Akekho okufanele ashushiswe ngenxa yokholo lwakhe. Imithetho yokuhlambalaza iwukwephulwa okukhulu hhayi nje kuphela komthetho wamazwe ngamazwe, kodwa nomthethosisekelo wethu waseNigeria.

“Izakhamizi zaseNigeria zifanelwe inkululeko yokukhuluma ngezinkolelo zazo futhi ziphile ngokukhululeka ezinkolelweni zazo. Siyishayela ihlombe imizamo yePhalamende laseYurophu yokugxeka okwenzekayo ngaphansi kwemithetho yenhlamba yaseNigeria futhi sisekela u-Yahaya”.
Isigwebo sentambo ngezinsolo "zokuhlambalaza"
Ngo-2020, uSufi Muslim uYahaya Sharif-Aminu wagwetshwa intambo ngokulengiswa "ukuhlambalaza". Icala lakhe elisolwayo libandakanya ukuthumela izingoma ku-WhatsApp ezazithathwa njengokuhlambalaza kumprofethi uMohammed.
Ngosizo lwenhlangano elwela amalungelo abantu i-ADF International, u-Sharif-Aminu ulidlulisele icala lakhe eNkantolo Ephakeme yaseNigeria futhi uphonsela inselelo ukuhambisana nomthethosisekelo kwemithetho yokuhlambalaza esekelwe ku-Sharia.
Isinqumo sephalamende sinxusa "iziphathimandla zaseNigeria ukuthi zihoxise imithetho yenhlamba ezingeni likahulumeni kanye nesifundazwe." Iphinde icele ukuthi kukhululwe ngokushesha abantu abangenamibandela “ababhekene nezinsolo zokuhlambalaza.”
UCarlos Zorrinho, uMEP (EPP) uthe ngesikhathi senkulumompikiswano:
“Egameni lesithunzi, ubulungiswa kanye nokuhlonipha amalungelo abantu ayisisekelo, ngiyaphinda ngiyaphinda isicelo sethu sokuthi kukhululwe ngokushesha umculi u-Yahaya Sharif-Aminu osohlwini lokufa njengamanje.
UBert-Jan Ruissen, uMEP (ECR) uthe:
"Ukuba khona nje kwemithetho ehlambalazayo kukhuthaza udlame olukhulu olubhekiswe kubantu abasolwa ngokuhlambalaza, isikhathi esiningi ngisho nangaphambi kokuba amaphoyisa kanye nezinhlelo zezobulungiswa zingenelele."
U-Georgia du Plessis, oyisikhulu sezomthetho kwa-ADF International eBrussels, uthe:
“I-ADF International ayisebenzi nje kuphela ngenhloso ephuthumayo yokusindisa impilo ka-Yahaya nokuthola ukukhululwa kwakhe, kodwa futhi nokuqeda imithetho yokuhlambalaza yonke indawo. Kanye nabalingani bethu baseNigeria, sizibophezele ukuvikela u-Yahaya futhi sisekele impi yakhe yenkululeko yokukhuluma nenkululeko engokwenkolo eNkantolo Ephakeme YaseNigeria”
UDu Plessis wanezela:
“Inkululeko engokwenkolo nenkululeko yokukhuluma kungamalungelo abantu ayisisekelo. Imithetho yenhlamba ijezisa abantu ngokuzwakalisa izinkolelo zabo ngokuthula futhi ayihambisani ngokwemvelo namalungelo abantu. IPhalamende LaseYurophu lithathe isinyathelo ebesidingeka kakhulu sokuletha udaba lukaYahaya emphakathini. Sithemba ukuthi lesi sinqumo sinikeza umfutho wamazwe ngamazwe ukuze kube nomphumela omuhle.”
“Icala linethuba elingakaze libonwe lenkululeko yenkolo”
Ividiyo esanda kukhishwa ifaka ummeli waseNigeria u-Kola Alapinni, obambisene ne-ADF International ukuze avikele inkululeko ka-Yahaya Sharif-Aminu. Okunye okuvezwe kule vidiyo, umama walo mculi obizwa “ngokuhlambalaza” ulandisa ngecala kanye nezehlakalo ezibuhlungu indodana yakhe ezibekezelele.
U-Yahaya Sharif-Aminu usagqunywe ejele elinde iNkantolo Ephakeme ukuthi ilalele isicelo sakhe sokudlulisa icala. Khonamanjalo, udaba lwakhe lusekude nesigameko esizimele. Kanye namaSulumane amancane, ukushushiswa kwamaKristu eNigeria kubi kakhulu. Ngo-2021, ama-90% awo wonke amaKristu emhlabeni wonke abulawelwa ukholo lwawo ayeseNigeria.
UKelsey Zorzi, uMqondisi weGlobal Religious Freedom we-ADF International, uthe:
“Abagqugquzeli benkululeko yenkolo sebelinde amashumi eminyaka ukuthi bawuchithe lo mthetho wokuhlambalaza. Ngeke sivumele leli thuba lisidlule. Icala linamandla angakaze abonwe enkululeko engokwenkolo nenkululeko yokukhuluma eNigeria futhi lingaba umgqugquzeli woshintsho sonke esilulindele. Imithetho yenhlamba iyinhlekelele—ithunaza amazwe futhi ibangele ubudlova. Njengoba silwela inkululeko yenkolo nokukhuluma emhlabeni wonke, sibona ngokusobala ukuthi ukugwebela umuntu ukufa ngenxa yokukhuluma kwakhe ngokuthula kuwukucutshungulwa kokugcina”.
Ukudlulisa icala kuka-Yahaya Sharif-Aminu eNkantolo Ephakeme kungase kuqede imithetho yokuhlambalaza endaweni yakubo e-Kano nasenyakatho neNigeria. Isinqumo esihle singaholela ekuqedeni imithetho yenhlamba emhlabeni jikelele.
