On Friday, a Kano Magistrates’ Court remanded 56-year old Ibrahim

seven years.
Ibrahim is standing trial on a two-count charge of procuring minor and
incest.
According to the prosecutor, Inspector Aluta Mijinyawa, the accused began
to sexually assault the girl in 2010 when she was just seven years old. He went
on to say Ibrahim had been having sex with the minor since the death of her
mother in 2010, adding, “the victim was seven year’s then, now a 14-year-old
girl.”.
Mijinyawa further told the court that the girl the resisted her father
who threatened to harm her which led her to report the father at Metro Police
Station in Kano. The prosecutor said the offences contravened sections 275 and
390 of the penal code.
The accused, however, pleaded not guilty to the charges. Chief Magistrate
Fatima Adamu ordered the remand of the accused in prison custody and adjourned
the case to September 12, 2017.
