She, however, pleaded not guilty to the charge.
The prosecution counsel, Asma’u Ado, told the court that the defendant committed the offence sometime in September 2020 in Minjibir Local Government Area of Kano.
Ado told the court that the defendant boiled water, poured it in a kettle and deceived her to use it to clean himself.
She said Sani sustained injuries in his groin area.
The offence, she said, contravened the provisions of Section 245 of the Penal Code.
Chief magistrate, Mustapha Sa’ad-Datti, admitted the defendant to bail in the sum of N50,000 with two reliable sureties.
He ordered that one of the sureties must be a civil servant not below GL10, while the second surety must be a blood relation.
He adjourned the matter until March 16, for hearing. (NAN)
