Nigerian Muslims Charged with Removing Boy's Eyes
 

LAGOS, Nigeria (Reuters) - Four Nigerian men were charged with plucking out the eyes of a 13-year-old schoolboy for use in witchcraft, the state news agency reported Tuesday.

They face charges ranging from criminal conspiracy to grievous bodily harm and permanent disfigurement for the attack on the boy, who was taken to hospital in the northeastern state of Bauchi.

Police suspect the attack was commissioned by one of the defendants to make a charm believed to make people invisible.

The case will be heard by an Islamic court in Bauchi on February 18, the News Agency of Nigeria said.

If found guilty, the defendants could have their own eyes removed under the Islamic sharia code, the agency added.

Bauchi is one of 12 predominantly Muslim states in northern Nigeria which adopted sharia law five years ago.

Thanks ill keep an eye out for that in the future :1orglaugh

I can just see the defenses case right now...

How could the boy positively identify the accused?

He had no eyes at the time :Graucho

Guess he was lQQking for trouble...
All in favor say aye...
And he was a good pupil...

Peace loving Muslims.

You left out "an eye for an eye" in the literal sense

if you can read properly then you wouldn't sound so ignorant. They never said they Muslim. They are gonna be heard by a Muslim court. and I guess they just apply Eye for Eye :)

But then again that's what people wanna hear now oh Muslims this Muslims that. weird how no one start screaming drama and race segregation like what happend with P1mpdog

you guys are jokes :1orglaugh

What happened TO Pimpdog?

They're not Muslims you idiot. From what little I know, I'm sure that witchcraft isn't part of Islam.

Fucking Nigerians. Same fuckers that sit in their crappy internet cafes all day scamming people. Uh, and plucking eyes out of young boys.
