Delivering judgment, Justice Sanusi Ado-Ma’aji, held that the prosecution had proven its case beyond reasonable doubt. “The defendant’s testimony is inconsistent. I hereby find him guilty. “I hereby recommend mercy by the Kano State Governor on behalf of the convict,' he ruled. Earlier, the Prosecution Counsel, the Attorney-General of Kano State, Haruna Dederi, had informed the court that the convict committed the offence on September 16, 2022, at Janbulo Quarters, Kano.
The defendant pleaded not guilty to the charge. The prosecution presented six witnesses to prove their case against the defendant and four exhibits. According to the prosecutor, the offence contravenes the provision of Section 221 of the Penal Code. The defence counsel, Muhummad Dan’azumi, presented the defendant to defend himself, and one other witness and tendered five exhibits. Dan’azumi urged the court to recommend the defendant for a prerogative of mercy pursuant to Section 313 of ACJL.
