Mansir is facing a two-count charge of criminal force and assault.
The prosecutor, Insp. Abdul Wada, told the court that one Hajara Sha’aibu of Darmanawa Quarters, Kano, reported the matter at Filin Hockey, Police Division Kano, on March 18.
Wada said on the same date at about 8 pm, the defendant criminally used force on the complainant by assaulting her and causing her body bruises.
According to him, the offence contravenes sections 165 and 166 of the Sharia Penal Code Law.
The defendant, however, pleaded not guilty to the charge.
The judge, Dr Bello Khalid, remanded the defendant in a correctional centre and adjourned the matter until April 14 for trial. (NAN)
