Photo by @edkashi Senior sharia court judge, Ibrahim Sarki Yola, dispenses justice over family, business and property disputes, among other local issues, in Kano, Nigeria on April 15, 2013. In 2000, several predominantly Muslim states in northern Nigeria formally adopted Islamic law as part of their legal system, despite concerns from the largely Christian population in the south. Tensions between the primarily Muslim north and the Christian south continue to rise along with the violent presence of an Islamic insurgent group, Boko Haram. Ed Kashi of @viiphoto is taking over the @thephotographersgallery Instagram feed for one week to coincide with the exhibition #humanrightshumanwrongs. This image is from a body of work that illuminates #humanrights issues that fuel the fire of Northern Nigeria’s turbulent state.
