A Kano Chief Magistrate presided over by Chief Magistrate Hadiza Abdulrahman has ordered Dayyabu Abdullahi and two others in the ongoing case of the alleged murder of their house help, Nafiu Hafizu, 38, to be reminded in the correctional centre.
This is just as the Court fixed the ruling on January 18 on the bail application filed by Dayyabu Abdullahi and two others
It should be recalled that Dayyabu, Adamu Muhammad, and Nasidi Muhammad are standing trial on three counts of charges bordering on criminal conspiracy, concealment of fact, and false information.
However, while adjourning the matter until January 18 for a ruling on the bail application, the Prosecution Counsel, Hafsa Adda’u-Kutama, informed the court that one Hafizu Salisu reported the matter at Zaria Road Police Division on December 21, 2023.
She alleged that on December 20, 2023, Dayyabu (Hafsat Surajo’s husband) and the two other defendants conspired with one Haruna Adamu, now at large, and concealed the cause of Nafiu’s death.
She stated, “The defendants misled and gave false information to the deceased family by saying he died as a result of pile surgery.”
However, the defendants pleaded not guilty to the charge.
The prosecutor said that the offence contravened the provisions of Sections 97, 277, and 178 of the Penal Code.
While the defence counsel, Rabiu Sidi and Rabiu Abdullahi, urged the court to judiciously grant the defendants bail pursuant to Section 36(5) of the 1999 Nigeria Constitution as amended and Sections 168 and 172 of the ACJL 2019 Kano State.
