A Kano State sharia Court sitting in Kwana Hudu has ordered the remand of a 38-year-old woman, Aisha Ibrahim Hadejia; and two men, Alhaji Tijjani Garba and Alhaji Haruna, who were not in court over conspiracy and fraud amounting to N80 million.
The first accused, Aisha, was charged for conspiring with Alhaji Tijjani and Alhaji Haruna in 2022 to defraud two men, Hamza Abubakar and Muhammed Abubakar, by collecting from them N80,175,000 with the promise of delivering rice, millet and maize after harvest.

The complainants reported that since the defendants collected the money they did not see them and that their mobile phones were either unreachable or switched off.
The accused denied the charges levelled against her and her accomplices after the prosecutor, Aliyu Abidin Murtala, read them out.
The defence counsel prayed the court to grant the accused bail, but the Khadi, Mallam Nura Yusuf Ahmed, ordered their remand in prison.
