According to the Judge, “The defendant’s previous appearance shows she is allegedly not in a sound state of mind due to suspected drug influence.

Earlier, the Prosecutor, Barrister Aliyu Abideen, said the Kano State Hisbah Board arrested the defendant after receiving several complaints from members of the public.

The Prosecutor further stated that the defendant usually terrorizes Tishama Hotoro Quarters Kano by bringing bad boys at midnight and also disturbs the area by inciting disturbance and using social media to disturb members of the public.
