Kano man to spend days in prison for kicking neighbour in groin area
A Sharia Court in Kano on Friday ordered that a 22-year-old trader, Umar Suleiman, who pleaded guilty to kicking his neighbour in the groin area and stomach be remanded in a correctional centre.
The police charged Suleiman, who lives in Fagge Quarters, Kano with criminal force.
The judge, Isma’il Muhammed-Ahmed, adjourned the matter until July 7, for summary trial.
