Abideen alleged that on the same date at about 4:00pm the defendant criminally conspired and trespassed into the house of the complainant situated at Dorayi Quarters, Kano.

“The defendants pretended to be relatives of the complainant’s wife (Fatima Alhassan).

“As a result, the complainant discovered that the first defendant Saifullahi was enticing his wife and were chatting on WhatsApp.

“The said Saifullahi was the ex-boyfriend of the complaint’s wife.”

Saifullahi pleaded not guilty while the second and third defendants pleaded guilty to the charge.

He said that the offence contravened the Kano State Shari’a Law.

The court ordered that the defendants be remanded in a custodial centre.

He adjourned the matter until Feb.17, for a hearing. (NAN)
