Court remands two housewives for assaulting neighbour over money
A Sharia Court in Kano State on Monday ordered the remand of two housewives in a correction centre for assaulting their neighbour.
The police charged Sa’adautu Abubakar, 33, and Amina Abdulkadir,20, of Mandawari Sabon Titi in the Gwale Local Government Area of Kano, for criminal intentional hurt and intimidation.
When the charge was read to them, they both pleaded not guilty.
The judge, Umar Lawal-Abubakar, ordered that they be remanded in the Goron Dutse Correction Centre in Kano.
He adjourned the case until September 18 for further mention.
Earlier, the prosecutor, Insp Abdullahi Wada, told the court that the complainant, Firdausi Aliyu, who also resides in Mandawari Sabon Titi, reported the matter at the Mandawari Police Station on August 28.
Mr Wada said the complainant had a misunderstanding with the defendants about some money.
He said the defendants attacked Ms Aliyu with a pestle and also bit her hand, which led to severe injuries.
The prosecutor said the offence contravened the provisions of section 158 of the Penal Code.
