Murder trials in Kano State High Court
Overview
The Kano State High Court has presided over separate murder proceedings involving different defendants.
In one case, Abdullahi Sulaiman, also known as Babangida, pleaded not guilty to charges of killing and dismembering his friend, Muhammad Salisu Jadalla. The prosecution alleges the incident occurred after the victim provided money to the defendant and requested to stay overnight. Witnesses, including a ward head and a neighborhood patrol leader, provided testimony during the initial hearing.
In a separate matter, the court sentenced Aliyu Adamu and Mubarak Abdussalam to death by hanging for the premeditated murder of Dahiru Musa. The court found the men killed the victim to seize his landed property documents. A third defendant, Sadik Sanusi, received a seven year prison sentence for his role in a conspiracy that allegedly involved transporting the killers and assisting in burning the victim’s body to conceal the crime.
