The Kano State Government charged Ibrahim-Abdullahi, who lives in Jaba Quarters, Kano, with culpable homicide and r@pe.
A 43-year-old man, Mannir Ibrahim-Abdullahi, was on Monday remanded in a correctional centre by the Kano State High Court, for allegedly r@ping a 9-year-old girl to death.
The Kano State Government charged Ibrahim-Abdullahi, who lives in Jaba Quarters, Kano, with culpable homicide and r@pe.
Justice Zuwaira Yusuf, who gave the order, adjourned the matter until December 9, 2024, for hearing.
Earlier, the prosecution counsel, Mr Lamido Abba-Sorondinki, told the court that the defendant committed the offence on August 1, at Jaba Panisau Quarters, Kano.
He alleged that the victim’s father took the minor to Waraka Chemist, in Panisau Quarters, Kano, owned by the defendant for malaria treatment.
According to the prosecutor, the defendant r@ped the victim to death.
The defendant, however, pleaded not guilty to the charge.
Abba-Sorondinki said that the offence contravened the provisions of Sections 221 and 283 of the Penal Code.
