Sharia court remands man for sleeping with neighbour’s wife in Kano

A man from Dorayi Quarters in Gwale local government area of Kano State has been remanded by the State Sharia Court for allegedly sleeping with his neighbour’s wife.

The man was accused of convincing the neighbour’s wife to dump her husband and taking her on outings whenever her husband was not around.

The police prosecutor told the court that after noticing the relationship between the woman and his neighbour, the husband divorced her.

He added that after the divorce, the suspect gave the wife a room in his house to keep her luggage, confirming his suspicion.

The defendant, however, pleaded not guilty to the charge brought against him.

Sani Tanimu Sani Hausawa, the Khadi, after ordering his remand, stated that the defendant could be admitted on bail if he brought someone to stand for him and adjourned the case to July 27, 2023.
