Man accused of killing fiancée in Kano

The police in Kano State have arraigned a man, Abubakar Kurna, in a magistrates’ court sitting at Nomansland in Fagge LGA over the alleged murder of his fiancée, Naja’atu Ahmad.

The magistrate, Huda Haruna, ordered his remand in a correctional centre till November 21, as the court lacked jurisdiction to entertain the case.

In another case, a magistrates’ court sentenced two men to six years in prison each over illegal possession and sale of arms.

Magistrate Hajara Shafi’u Hamza jailed them for stealing and selling an A-K47 rifle.
