A magistrates’ court in Kafanchan, Kaduna State, on Thursday, ordered that a man, Rabiu Usman, who pleaded guilty to insulting a married woman be remanded pending sentencing.
Magistrate Michael Bawa fixed August 13 for sentencing.
The complainant, Jamila Yusuf, had taken Usman to court for intentional insult without provocation and defamation of her character in a direct criminal suit.
Mrs Yusuf told the court that the defendant, via a text message on August 7, called her a pig and a stupid illiterate who was born out of wedlock.
When the charges were read to Usman, he pleaded guilty and begged the court for leniency. (NAN)
