The court was told that Rashida’s husband, Alhaji Kamal, was bdating the principal defendant with a marriage proposal but later abandoned her, a decision she alleged was influenced by his wife and therefore decided to deal with her.

Counsel to the defendants, Barrister Yusuf Kabir, urged the court to admit them to bail.
The Khadi, Umar Usman Danbaba Dukurawa, however, ordered their remand in prison and adjourned to October 18, 2024.
