Nigeria has been periodically racked with Jihadist violence and the stated goal of Jihadist terrorists there is the imposition of Shariah law. Now, it appears that one of the chief proponents of Shariah in Nigeria, Alhaji Attahiru Bafarawa, the former governor of the Nigerian state of Sokoto, has been accused of stealing a large sum of money from the state-run Institute of Quranic and General Studies.
