A Kano Shari’a Court No. 2 sitting at Kofar Kudu in the Municipality has ordered the remand of one Sayyadi Muhammad in a correctional facility for allegedly attacking his father with a cutlass.
Sayyadi is facing charges of assault and causing serious injury.
Prosecution counsel, Barrister Amina Umar Yakasai, told the court that the defendant attacked his father with a cutlass, striking him on the head and leaving him with serious injuries.
She added that the attack came after the father had been advising him to live with good moral character.
When the charges were read to him, Sayyadi pleaded guilty but claimed he acted because his father was ‘disturbing him.’
Presiding Judge Isa Rabi’u Kademi Gaya ordered his remand in a correctional facility and adjourned the case to October 13, for continuation of hearing.
